Many people buy caskets from funeral homes because it is easier than going somewhere else to buy the casket. They figure that since the funeral home is taking care of all of the other arrangements, they can take care of the casket as well. What they don’t realize is that funeral parlors usually sell caskets for much higher prices than casket stores. Casket stores provide good deals on the same caskets sold by funeral homes. Casket stores often sell nothing but caskets and do not have to raise prices to compensate for other area of business that may be under performing.

Online casket stores are another great option. Online sellers often have a wide variety of caskets made from all different materials, ranging from oak to bronze. Since the online casket selling market is so big, sellers often offer their caskets at huge discounts in order to remain competitive. Since it vital that the casket arrive in time for the funeral service, many online casket dealers offer free same day or next day casket delivery to insure that it arrives on time.

Casket stores offer a wide selection of caskets made from many different materials at a fraction of the cost that many funeral homes charge.
