Press Releases : Five Reassuring Reasons to Buy a Casket Online

Reputable online retailers like The Casket Place offer the bereaved a
safe, viable, low-cost alternative to high funeral home casket prices.

Houston, TX, July 20, 2007 – When a loved one passes away, the last thing anyone wants to do is comparison shop for a casket or urn. But funeral homes often charge exorbitant prices that result in additional distress for the family of the deceased, on top of their recent loss. That is why more and more people have been turning to the Internet to purchase caskets at deep discounts, from such trustworthy retailers as The Casket Place (www.thecasketplace.com).

What can you expect when buying a casket online? If the dealer is reputable, they will provide these five distinct advantages:

1. Significantly Lower Prices – Due to economies of scale (high volume) and low overhead costs, most discount caskets sold over the Internet cost anywhere from 40% to 80% less than what funeral homes charge—sometimes thousands of dollars less.

2. Wide Selection – Online, you will typically find a much larger selection of styles and sizes online than in a traditional funeral home showroom. And if you are searching for a particular style, or need a special size, they can usually be special ordered, quickly.

3. High Quality – The Casket Place provides exactly the same top-quality brands as those available at funeral homes. The only difference is the price...and you’ll get an immediate replacement guarantee against manufacturer’s defects, plus 15% of the purchase price.

4. Dependable Service – A legitimate online retailer will always include their physical address and phone number somewhere on the website. The Casket Place makes it easy for you to choose the right casket with a variety of web-based resources as well as phone support from respectful customer service experts.

5. Fast Delivery – In most cases, your casket will be shipped immediately after your order, and received by the funeral home of your choice within 24 to 48 hours. Through distribution partnerships, The Casket Place ensures reasonable flat shipping rates.

In short, there is absolutely no reason to spend thousands of dollars extra for a casket from the funeral home when you can find the same item for less online. Just be sure that the retailer you are dealing with is legitimate and has a solid reputation.
