How To Save Money When Buying A Casket

By Catherine Black


Everyone wants a proper funeral for their loved ones. As one respects this lifetime preciously, so does one should for the afterlife. Of course, burying your family members with ornaments and riches won't apply in today as Egyptians and other ancient cultures did hundreds of years ago. However, you could present your loved ones the special tribute they deserve by burying them in a decent coffin.

Choosing the casket that is right for your loved ones come with sorting out the funeral arrangements, although you could do both separately. Funeral homes mostly offer casket provision as well, although some would allow you to go to a different casket maker. If you decided to go with the support of the funeral parlour for your loved one's burial coffin, one factor that will determine that you get your money's worth is the reputation of the funeral home. As expected, the reputable funeral homes equate to better solutions.

Another thing to consider when shopping for caskets is cost. Most coffins average for about $2,000 although some would sell for as much as $10,000 based on the material and brand. Wooden coffins constructed from pine, oak, walnut, mahogany or rosewood is usually economical but there are also expensive ones. This kind is made from hardwood, which features maple, cottonwood, ash and poplar.

Stainless steel caskets sell very inexpensively even if they are classified by their gauge or thickness and you can buy one for $800 or $900. Bronze and copper coffins, on the other hand, cost from $2,000 to $5,000 or more. They are expensive because the price is calculated based on weight per square foot.

Bear in mind that the price of the burial casket does not essentially reflect your level of love and respect for the deceased. At its heart, the whole thing is about the funeral presentation and how grave you pay your respect to the departed and his bereaved.
