Funeral Homes Must Accept It

Federal law requires it — and bars a handling fee.

Flat-Rate Shipping

Two flat rates, both quoted before you order rather than calculated at checkout: Expedited at $399, which is 2–4 business days and usually 2 to a major city, and Standard at $199, which is 7–10 business days. In the tri-state area we can often deliver next day — call and ask.

Orders leave warehouses in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida, California, Oklahoma, Illinois and Georgia. Business days exclude weekends and holidays. If a service is already booked, call us on (888) 985-9255 before you order and we will confirm what we can meet for that date.

Buy Direct, Skip the Markup

A funeral home buys a casket wholesale and resells it with its own margin on top. Buying from the warehouse removes that step, and that is where the saving comes from. Caskets start at $995, every listing states its gauge, materials, interior and hardware so you can compare like for like, and nothing is added afterwards for commission or for making the arrangements.

Funeral Homes Must Accept It

The FTC's Funeral Rule requires a funeral home to accept a casket you bought elsewhere, and prohibits it from charging you a handling fee for doing so. You do not need anyone’s permission — tell the funeral home a delivery is coming and give them the arrival date from your order. If you meet any resistance, call us on (888) 985-9255 and we will help.

Find a funeral home near you

Federal law requires every funeral home to accept a casket you bought from us.

Federal law is on your side

The FTC's Funeral Rule (16 CFR Part 453) says a funeral home must accept a casket you bought elsewhere. It cannot charge you a handling fee for doing so, and it cannot require you to be there when the casket is delivered.

You do not need anyone's permission. Tell the funeral home a delivery is coming and give them the date. If you meet any resistance, call us on (888) 985-9255 and we will help. Read more about your rights.

Cheap Caskets for Sale: Tips for Spending Less

When you're looking for cheap caskets, you can save money by understanding how they are priced. Sometimes it can feel tough to find cheap caskets for sale, but it’s entirely possible to find options within your budget. This overview will help you understand their costs and help you save money.

Read the full guide

Why caskets cost what they cost

Almost all of it is the material. Solid copper and solid bronze sit at the top; cloth-covered and plywood caskets sit at the bottom. Interior lining moves the price too — linen, velvet, silk and crepe are not priced alike.

Fiberglass is also available and can pass for wood at a distance. A casket veil, originally there to keep insects and heat off the body, is now purely for appearance at an open-casket service.

The most cost-effective material

It comes down to preference as much as budget. Among woods, pine is the cheapest by a distance. Among metals, skip bronze and copper and look at stainless steel.

What you should expect to pay

An average casket lands somewhere around $2,000. Mahogany and similar can run to $10,000 or more. Ours start at $995.

Decide your ceiling before you start looking — it is the single most effective thing you can do to avoid overspending.

Buy direct, not from the funeral home

Federal law is on your side. The FTC's Funeral Rule requires a funeral home to accept a casket bought from a third party, and to hand you an itemized price list if you ask for one — which is how you find out what their own caskets are marked up to.

Buying online also widens the field. Caskets are manufactured in the United States, Mexico and China, though only around 2% of caskets made in China are sold in the US. Read more about your rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to buy my casket from the funeral home?

No. You do not have to purchase your casket from the funeral home. The Funeral Rule, a law designed to protect consumers, specifies that your funeral home is required to accept a casket from a third party seller.

Why are your caskets priced so much lower than at the funeral home?

We get our inventory from an independent manufacturer. We also do not have the high overhead of a funeral home, therefore we are able to offer supreme discounts on our products.

How quickly can you deliver a casket to me?

It depends which shipping you choose. Expedited is 2–4 business days — usually 2 to a major city, and often next day in the tri-state area. Standard is 7–10 business days. Both are flat rates quoted before you order, and business days exclude weekends and holidays.

If a service is already scheduled, call us on (888) 985-9255 before ordering and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet the date.

What is the difference between 18-gauge and 20-gauge caskets?

18 Gauge is about 30% thicker metal than the 20 gauge caskets. Obviously the thicker caskets cost more. Your car is around 18-gauge metal. 20-gauge is about the thickness of your license plate. Our 18-gauge caskets weigh 210 pounds and our 20-gauge caskets weigh 170 pounds. We sell mostly the thicker 18-gauge.

How do I know if I'll need an oversized casket?

Caskets come in different widths. If a man is less than 240 pounds or a woman is less than 200 pounds they will usually fit in a standard 24″ or 23.5″ inside width. We have other caskets that are 25.5″, 26″, 27.5″ and 28″ wide inside which also fit in a standard vault.

What payments do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards including Master Card, Visa, Discover and American Express. We also accept Paypal & Cash App. If you’d prefer to do a wire transfer from your bank, that can be accommodated as well – please contact us. For those wanting to pay cash, please contact us for more details.
