It is best to buy a casket online, not from the funeral home

It is best to buy a casket online, not from the funeral home

Buying Caskets online works. This Funeral director has seen families do this. You will Save a significant amount of money if you have the courage to buy a Casket online. Wal Mart is selling Caskets on line.

Funeral Directors will try to dissuade you. It can be done and you will receive the same quality of  casket as at the Funeral Home.

“I was more than a little paranoid Sunday. I was worried because I was buying something online without actually having seen anything but a small photo. I worried it might arrive scuffed or damaged, or show shoddy workmanship that you wouldn’t be able to spot in an online image. Instead, the coffin was lovely. The attention to detail was exceptional, and, as advertised, it was solid cedar. It had a wonderful cedar odor, and polished finish that practically glowed. All during the visitation people commented on how nice the casket was. This matched my experience with purchasing Laura’s casket online: a bit of anxiety while it was in transit, but an excellent product once delivered.

“I’m writing this in hopes of soothing the nerves of anyone out there who has had a loved one pass away and is thinking of buying a casket online, but is worried it might not work out. Several of the casket websites have personal testimonials, but, of course, you assume they are only going to post their positive comments and not their negative ones. I’m an objective third party who will testify that, in my two times as a casket shopper, I’ve gotten a good product for a fraction of the price the funeral parlors were going to charge.”

Walmart is selling Caskets online. This story hit the internet by storm. Now it has been revealed that Amazon will be selling Caskets in the first quarter of 2010. On November 10th 2009  the internet giant, began selling Star Legacy Funeral Network Products. That’s the same company that supplies Wal Mart with their caskets.

1442736375_a46df166ce_o(2) Amazon.Com needs to be watched. Stories are circulating they will be selling a full line of Caskets in 2010. There is already a do it yourself casket kit on sale at amazon and some furniture that can later be used as casket as well as a discounted Metal Casket.

This is not a permanent line of Caskets  like the one  The Star Legacy Funeral Network  supplies Walmart. Amazon carrying a full line of caskets online on a permanent basis may provide some strong competition for the Funeral Home.

According to the MemorialBusinessJournal.com this is about to happen.

“What will happen when Amazon.com  to start Selling CASKETS ONLINE?”

Star Legacy Funeral Network, the casket supplier to Wal-Mart, has reached an agreement with Internet giant Amazon.com to add an extensive line of cremation products to the site. The first wave of the rollout, 117 SKUs of cremation urns, appeared on Amazon.com on Nov. 10. In about two weeks the rest of Star Legacy’s cremation offerings — pet urns, jewelry and flowers — will be added.

Caskets distributed by Star Legacy are expected to appear on Amazon.com in the first quarter of 2010.”-snippet from www.memorialjournal.com

Here is an example of the Star Legacy Funeral Network  products that are on sale at Amazon .com

iStock_000006908729XSmallAn Oklahoma representative has stated his praise for Wal Mart selling Caskets online. Oklahoma is one of a few state that allows funeral homes to charge for caskets obtained on the Internet.

I think it’s great,” said Rep. Paul Wesselhoft, R-Moore,…..

Wesselhoft called the Oklahoma funeral home industry “a cartel” that wants to gouge customers — but noted federal law requires them to accept caskets bought online from retailers, such as Walmart and Costco, when they are based in other states.

“If someone wants to buy a casket online from Costco in California, they have to accept it,” Wesselhoft said. “But the funeral homes hate it because they (the national retailers) charge a third of what they charge here.”

“The Savannah funeral directors recently introduced an option with which they can webcast funeral services online, making them accessible anywhere the internet is available. And helping eliminate complications that can compound grief…..

Through the use of one discreet and mobile camera, mourners unable to attend in person can look in on the visitation. They can also go inside chapel services, even out to the graveside where they can hear eulogies and memorials.”
