Following are some discount caskets available for purchase online. When advertising burial caskets,
some manufacturers may offer features which claim to protect the body
of the deceased. Others may offer funeral caskets which use a gasket to seal the casket shut. Many manufacturers
will also offer warranties on the structural integrity of the coffin. However, no coffin will preserve the body, regardless of whether it is made of wood, metal, a sealed casket or if the deceased was embalmed beforehand. In
many cases, a sealed coffin speeds up the decomposition process.
Under the
Funeral Rule, if
you purchase a funeral casket aside from the ones provided by the
funeral home, they are required to accept delivery of the casket and use it in the services.
They may not add any extra charges or fees to your bill for this service.
