May I purchase a casket before it is needed? |
|
Yes. You may purchase a casket before it is needed. You may do either two things:
- buy it and store it yourself
- sign up for a prepayment plan from us that will cover the cost of the casket and give you the opportunity to pay for it in monthly installments

Will the funeral home accept products that I buy elsewhere? |
|
The answer is Yes. THE FUNERAL RULE:
- They may not refuse service, cause duress, embarrassment, or cast aspersions in any way onto persons choosing to bring their own products into a funeral home from an outside source.
- They may not alter routine charges based on the acceptance of outside merchandise.
- They may not require the family to present at the time of delivery.
- They may not charge any fee for handling or inspection that would discourage third party vendors of caskets, vaults, monuments, flowers, or printed material such as registry books and acknowledgement cards.
- Remember, we can save you money on more than just the casket. Be sure to ask about our complete funeral arrangement service.

What exactly is an outer burial container? |
|
An outer burial container is a container that the casket is set in for burial. The purpose of these containers is to keep the weight of the earth off of the casket itself and to make the settling of the grave more proportional. These containers are some times referred to as "vaults" or "liners". They can be manufactured in a variety of materials including, concrete, steel, and composite materials. In the state of Texas these containers are not required, however some cemeteries may require the use of one. You should check to see if you are required one before you make arrangements. |
