The importance of a funeral casket
A funeral casket (sometimes referred to as a funeral coffin) is the decorative box used to display and bury a deceased loved one. After a service, it is lowered into the vault. MemorialPlanning.com offers pre-paid funeral caskets available for purchase.
The funeral casket is the final resting place for the deceased. A body or cremation urn can be placed into this personal vessel and laid into the ground for generations of loved ones to be able to visit and remember. In most cemeteries, a body or urn cannot be buried without a casket.

The cost can also change based on material used and other decorative options. Therefore, the casket cost can potentially be more or less than this national average.
