Casket Buying Guide
Casket Buying Guide
A clear guide for families comparing funeral home caskets, outside casket providers, religious designs, delivery timing, pricing clarity, and planning ahead.
Know your right to choose
Families may buy a casket from an outside provider and have it delivered to the funeral home. The funeral home must accept it and cannot charge a special handling fee because it came from another company.
Confirm timing before urgent orders
If the service is already scheduled, do not guess. Call first with the city, funeral home, service date, and the casket you are considering.
Choose the design by faith, heritage, and budget
Jordan River Caskets offers Guadalupe, Christ, Saint Jude, Last Supper, cross, viewing glass, traditional, and premium designs.
The best casket is not only about price. It should also reflect the faith, culture, personality, and final tribute your family wants to honor.
Understand what is included
The casket price does not include funeral home services, cemetery fees, flowers, transportation, clergy, or other funeral costs unless stated in writing.
Plan ahead when possible
Planning ahead protects your family from rushed decisions. You can choose a casket, document your wishes, and review whether your family needs casket-only planning or a more complete funeral pre-planning conversation.
Choose the option that best matches your situation: a complete funeral pre-planning review or the Casket Ownership Program for families who want to plan around the casket first.
