The Commemorative Collection allows you to choose from a wide assortment of tribute options that celebrate meaningful aspects of your loved one’s life. Removable tribute options rest directly on the casket’s corners and/or interior panel and, after the funeral, serve as lasting keepsakes.

Whatever tribute option you choose will depict your loved one’s spirituality, affiliations, hobbies, and relationships. The Commemorative Collection provides touching ways to tell a story at no additional cost.

headerTwoTypes of UrnsheaderTwo

Urns are vessels specifically designed to hold cremated ashes. They can range from basic to ornate styles and have various personalization opportunities. Popular styles include:

  • Individual: Designed to hold one body’s ashes, individual cremation urns are available in numerous materials, such as wood, marble, or metal. They typically contain a personalized engraved plate or easel and decorative accents.
  • Companion: Companion cremation urns can hold the ashes of two individuals, either in separate connected chambers or a single vessel. You can also personalize companion urns with engraved plates or easels.
  • Decorative: Decorative urns are keepsakes holding only a small portion of an individual’s ashes. Families often choose the decorative style to display in their homes and stay connected with their loved ones.
  • Eco-friendly: A biodegradable urn is a great option if you plan to bury your loved one’s ashes or toss them into a body of water. Eco-friendly vessels are available in many shapes and sizes and break down naturally over time.

How much do caskets cost?

Casket prices vary. Some caskets cost less than $1000.00, while those containing premium material and detail may total tens of thousands of dollars. We offer several options in all price ranges, so you can properly tribute your loved one within your budget. Your funeral director can show you a price list with every casket available.

Why are caskets so expensive?

Casket material is one of the primary characteristics factoring into the total cost. Therefore, copper or bronze caskets are typically more expensive than steel. Further, mahogany or walnut species cost more than poplar or veneered wood. The lining material and ornamentation also affect the cost, as does attention to detail.

Do I need a casket for cremation?

Some may choose cremation as a method of final disposition but prefer a public service or private viewing beforehand. We offer cremation and ceremonial casket options for visitations, viewings, or services. Although casket use is optional in a simple cremation, you must purchase an outer container for safe handling.

What's the difference between a casket and a coffin?

Caskets and coffins share the same purpose: to provide a dignified way of housing individuals’ bodies. However, the most considerable difference between them is their design. Coffins have eight sides and resemble a bodily shape, while coffins have four and are rectangular.

What are the size options for caskets?

Caskets are available in several sizes, depending on the deceased. Common options are as follows:

  • Standard: Suited for anyone up to 6’10” in height and 350 lbs in weight
  • Oversized: Suited for anyone up to 7’5” in height and 450 lbs in weight
  • Children: Include small, medium, and large sizes
  • Infant: Typically resemble a shoe box size and shape

What's the difference between a half-couch and a full-couch casket?

Half-couch caskets are available in two pieces. One side displays the deceased’s upper half for viewings or visitations, while the other covers the lower half. Full-couch caskets show the entire body at once for open-casket funeral services.
