FTC: Regulated in 1994 that funeral homes must allow people to Home Make a Casket, or
purchase Caskets from "Third Party Resalers." No Funeral Home is permitted to charge a handling fee or discriminate in any way. NOR can they tell you that it is required you must be there for the delivery. This lie is sometimes told. If you have this problem happen (more not then do, but know your rights!)Tell them to contact us, AND you understand FTC disallows them to tell you that.Also this is detailed not permitted on the NFDA website section with funeral rule handouts that Director's assoc. publish. Additionally, people may have the service in Churches ~ their homes or graveside (or other facility). "Care for your own Dead" details states & information on how members of religious groups (in 43 states)(see title) - at the library, author Lisa Carlson. Or one may by-pass the use of a Funeral Director altogether. They might also split the duties of the Funeral Director using their customer's RIGHTS.

2. Casket Price List, and
3. Outer Burial Container Price List.

You also must answer any other questions about your offerings and prices with any readily available information that reasonably answers the question.(17)
Note: No one can require callers to give their names, addresses, or phone numbers before you give them the requested information. You can ask callers to identify themselves, but one still must answer their questions even if they refuse to do so. Funeral homes cannot require consumers to come to the funeral home in person to get price information." {end quote}

   Not try to persuade clients to "buy" something more then what was in mind.

A 20 gauge casket is a thinner rating then a casket that is an 18 gauge steel casket.

Caskets also come in Semi-precious metals ~ which add to the price.

Wood caskets are the preferred style by many. Caskets are made of most any type of wood cut.(Rainforest groups, however discourage mahogany.)

Wood, for some ~ rests easier due to the fact that they wish to return to the natural elements in a simpler manner.

We also have plain Pine caskets, they are Kosher approved. All types of materials are chosen, even biodegradable coffins ~ built with the "green" approach.

Still then, for those looking for Long lasting and affordable units, the Fiberglass casket is made to look like wood or steel & comes in many styles.

Caskets are made with or with out a Sealer. When ~ back in the old days ~ soldier's remains needed to be shipped overseas, the sealer was implemented onto the caskets. In today's market, sealer's are sold by some for added protection, in the ground or crypt.
A Team Masters have both available ~ to those needing sealer caskets. We do inform & require a signature ~ & suggest that the seal be made useless once internment of the casket is at hand.

All brand names are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies. Batesville, Aurora and York product names do not represent an endorsement from or approval by their owners. Nor is our firm recommending those over our other units. Higher priced and more advertised does NOT mean better. It is the fact they have had "the market" for so long by themselves -- and a closed market at that, that cause their prices to be so high at the funeral home. A Team Masters have saved our customers THOUSANDS of dollars in ALL funeral product needs, on any brand names.
