A Guide to Discount Caskets

Caskets are often the most expensive part of a funeral.  The average casket costs around $2000, and some models can cost well over $10,000.  Many people assume that all caskets are expensive and do not seek out bargains, but discount caskets are actually fairly common.  It is usually a good idea to find a casket dealer rather than buy one from the funeral home. 

Discount casket dealers, both in stores and online, have the same selection of caskets as a funeral home at a much lower cost.  There are a variety of ways to find discount caskets.  It is possible to find companies that offer caskets from a variety of manufacturers at wholesale prices al of the time.  Some casket dealers have sales on older models in order to maker room for newer types of caskets.  It is also a good idea to try to buy caskets directly from the manufacturer.  Each of these options offers the opportunity for huge savings.

Companies that sell large quantities of caskets are able to sell them at a reduced price.  Casket wholesale stores have many of the same caskets found in funeral parlors at a greatly lower price.  Caskets made of a variety of materials, from maple to steel, are available at these stores and websites. 

Many casket dealers will put older models on sale to clear them out and make room for the newer caskets.  These older models are in perfectly good shape and are quality products.  Casket dealers may also offer discounts on top of the line caskets because the suggested retail price is too high for most buyers.  These discount caskets provide luxury and style at a fraction of the original price.

It is often possible to buy caskets directly from the manufacturers.  This is a good way to avoid the markup that many casket dealers and funeral homes may charge.

Purchasing discount caskets is a good way to make the cost of a funeral more manageable.  Discount caskets provide the same quality as more expensive caskets at a greatly reduced cost.
