Cremation Caskets (Alternative Containers) $50 to $2735
Cremation containers are alternative caskets in which the body is placed and cremated. If you want a viewing before a cremation, you may purchase an alternative container or non-metal casket or rent a casket. The rental cost includes the purchase of an interior cremation container. Cremation containers are made of corrugated board, fiberboard, or wood (such as poplar or ash).
Urns $75 to $3995
Urns come in a great variety of materials, styles, and price ranges, from an inexpensive pine cube to an elegant bronze vessel. Some have the ashes buried in a cemetery or placed in a niche in a building known as a columbarium. A small engraved plaque may be ordered for the urn, grave, or niche.
Keepsake Urns $25 to $995
Keepsake Jewelry $150 to $4250
Burial Caskets $395 to $14495
Caskets are made of corrugated board, fiberboard, softwood (such as pine), solid hardwood (such as oak, cherry, or mahogany), steel, copper, or bronze. For each construction material, a wide array of exterior coverings and interior linings is available. There are varying degrees of quality and craftsmanship. And metal caskets may or may not be sealed by a rubber gasket. This can help keep out the elements, but it cannot deter the natural breakdown of the body's own elements.
Outer Burial Containers $635 to $2995
For interment, most cemeteries require the casket to be placed in a concrete or metal vault or a concrete liner. Its function is to keep the ground from settling in on the casket.
