(Save Money, Know Your Rights, and Avoid Funeral Home Tricks)

When planning a funeral, families often feel pressured into making quick and costly decisions — especially when it comes to the casket. Funeral homes sometimes use emotional timing to upsell, charging thousands more than necessary. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to overspend.

At Casket Emporium, we believe every family deserves transparency, dignity, and affordability. This guide answers the most common questions about buying a casket online — so you can make the best choice with confidence.

Why Buy a Casket Online?

Q: Is buying a casket online cheaper than at a funeral home?
A: Yes. Funeral homes often mark up caskets 200–300% higher than online prices. A casket that costs $5,000 at a funeral home can often be purchased online for $1,200–$2,500 at Casket Emporium. Families typically save $2,000–$4,000 by purchasing online.

Q: Is the quality the same as funeral home caskets?
A: Absolutely. Online retailers like Casket Emporium offer the same high-quality caskets — steel, wood, and cremation — that funeral homes sell, but at direct-to-consumer pricing.

Your Rights Under the FTC Funeral Rule

Q: Can a funeral home refuse my casket from Casket Emporium?
A: No. The FTC Funeral Rule requires funeral homes to accept any casket you purchase elsewhere. They cannot refuse it, nor can they charge you extra fees for using it.

Q: Do I have to buy a casket from the funeral home?
A: No. Federal law protects your right to shop around and purchase from companies like Casket Emporium.

Q: How do I report a violation?
A: If a funeral home breaks these rules, you can report them to your State Board of Mortuary Science or the FTC.

Choosing the Right Casket

Q: What types of caskets are available online?
A: At Casket Emporium, we carry:

• 18-Gauge & 20-Gauge Steel Caskets (with velvet interiors, swing bars)

• Solid Wood Caskets (oak, mahogany, cherry, pine)

• Cremation Caskets (affordable, eco-friendly)

• Specialty Caskets (colors, themes, military honors)

Q: What is the difference between 18-gauge and 20-gauge steel?
A: 18-gauge is thicker and heavier, offering more durability. Both include velvet interiors (not crepe) and swing bars for easier carrying.

Delivery & Timing

Q: How fast can a casket be delivered?
A: Casket Emporium offers same-day and next-day delivery nationwide. In emergencies, we can often arrange local delivery within hours.

Q: Will the casket arrive directly at the funeral home?
A: Yes. We deliver straight to your funeral home, ensuring a smooth process.

Saving Money Without Sacrificing Dignity

Q: How much can I really save buying online?
A: Families save an average of $2,500–$4,000 with Casket Emporium. That’s money you can use for memorial services, travel, or simply easing financial stress.

Q: Why don’t more families know about this?
A: Many funeral homes don’t explain your rights or alternatives. That’s why Casket Emporium is committed to education first, sales second.
