Merchandise For Traditional Funeral Services

Whether you are preplanning for yourself or choosing for a loved one, a casket selection is a very personal decision and an expression of your feelings. A casket that reflects the personality and taste of your loved one can be your final tribute to their life. We understand these needs and offer a wide variety of caskets that can help you make your decision.

Solid Bronze and Solid Copper Caskets
Manufactured and tested to be completely resistant to the entrance of air and water, bronze and copper caskets combine lasting protection and beauty. Many families choose bronze or copper because it is superior to all other casket materials in strength, durability and naturally non-rusting qualities.

Premium Weight Steel Caskets
All of our heavy weight steel caskets are protective and designed to temporarily resist the entrance of air and water. Constructed from solid 16 gauge steel, they combine lasting protection and striking beauty and are available in a variety of exterior and interior colors and finishes.

Standard Weight Steel Caskets
Standard weight steel caskets are manufactured from the high quality 18 gauge steel, and are designed to temporarily resist the entrance of outside elements. They are available in a variety of price ranges and color choice and provide for the largest selection in high quality metal caskets.


Light Weight Steel Caskets
Manufactured from either 19 or 20 gauge steel, light weight steel caskets are a popular choice for many of our families. Some of these caskets are designed to resist the entrance of outside elements and are offered in a variety of color options.

Solid Hardwood Caskets
Using the same craftsmanship of skilled cabinetmakers, our solid wood caskets are manufactured using the highest quality species of mahogany, walnut, cherry, maple, oak, poplar and pine. The warmth and beauty of solid wood caskets are unsurpassed . These caskets are selected by those families who appreciate the qualities of fine hardwoods.

Wood Veneer & Cremation Caskets
For those families who desire the look of solid wood but need to be more economical, we offer a variety of select hardwood veneer caskets. These caskets are suitable for burial or may be used for those families incorporating a traditional service with a cremation. We offer several rental caskets in this category as well.

Outer Burial Containers (Vaults)
State or local law does not require that you buy a container to surround the casket or urn in the grave. However, many cemeteries require that you have such a container so that the grave will not sink in. Either a grave liner or a burial vault will satisfy these requirements.

Markers and Monuments
We can provide you with a full range of bronze memorials, upright monuments, granite markers and accompanying vases. Please click here for more information on Markers and Monuments.

Merchandise For Cremation Services

Cremation Containers
State law does not require that you have a casket for cremation. However, an alternative container is required. These containers encase the body and are manufactured from fiberboard and pressboard.

Cremation Urns and Keepsakes
Cremation urns provide the vessel in which to memorialize a loved one. While a cremation urn serves to safeguard the cremated remains, it should also reflect the personality of the deceased individual. As you will learn, cremation urns are made from a variety of natural and man-made materials. They can be simple and quite inexpensive or intricate and as costly as a one-of-a kind sculpture. Before a cremation urn is selected, some thought should be given to the final placement of the urn. If the urn is to be kept at home, them something more decorative might make sense. If it is to be buried in a cemetery, then an urn crafted out of something durable would work nicely. The presence of the urn at the memorial service might also impact the selection as well.

Urn Vaults
State or local law does not require that you buy a container to surround the urn in the grave. However, many cemeteries require that you have such a container so that the grave will not sink in. Either a grave liner or a burial vault will satisfy these requirements.

Flowers

Our staff can assist with floral tributes from family and friends. A wide variety of selections are available that can be displayed at the service, ceremony or visitation.
