    When a family member passed away a few years ago we had the option of buying a “lifetime warranty” with the casket. It had a “standard” 50 year warranty for no extra charge.

    We asked if this included maid service or regular oil changes…

    Tell her you bought your casket online - for 80% less than her price.

    (And by law, they must use your casket!)

    js305 - LOL!
    Just went through this recently, as my mom passed away this fall. The cemetery would give the family members discounts, if we bought our plots, vaults, etc. within a certain time frame.
    Me? No embalming, cremate immediately, are my instructions. Dig a hole, dump my ashes, and plant a tree or bush. Much cheaper! (And is legal if we do it on property we own.)

    I worked as Office Manager for the last custom casket company on the east coast. They closed in 1991. A casket that cost $800 for a funeral home to buy finished from us, was then sold by them for $8,000! That’s the standard markup. When the company salesman died, he was cremated.

    The supersealers are only for your peace of mind. If they can suck the air out, it can also get back in.

    Also, people like to call them coffins. A coffin is the shape of what Dracula sleeps in. The rectangular ones are caskets. The media likes to use the word “coffin” improperly, while they disrespect our fallen troops.

    My mom used to get calendars from the local funeral home for “being such a good customer” (She used to sing in a quartet that often performed at funerals)

    A casual shopper is not going to be in a funeral home looking for a casket - but a smart shopper will be checking them out before someone in the family dies, and doing some funeral planning ahead of need. Just had to feature this on today’s Family Plot Blog! http://TheFamiyPlot.wordpress.com
