I've had some tragedy recently and require 2 caskets. These look good and apparently funeral homes have to accept them. Anyone in LA ever faced with this? You can order direct or through Amazon.

Btw it's fine. Go ahead with the jokes. I have a thick skin and have already grieved.

Typically need them for more than just an overnight.

Kidding. Tough situation

never hear of them til now.
i mean, they look just as nice as any i've seen.

$1349 seems like a really good price.

How long does a casket have to look good for? A few hours? After the wake you're going to plant it and nobody will ever see it again. It could turn to dust in 2 days and no one would know the difference.

Not sure why you’d come here with this, seems like you’ve answered your question?

I mean in all honesty, who cares, it's not like the person in them is going to notice. When my brother died, we paid out the arse for a casket, funeral homes really do take advantage of you. Get whatever you can afford.

I don’t want to live with the thought that I cheaped out on mama.

Have to? A funeral home is a private business.

it's been 26 years but, i still remember going off on the person at the funeral home when they told me it would have cost half as much if we had made the deal BEFORE she died.

I've never done this and don't know if la has any weird rules seems like a valid question.

Why have we buried millions of metal boxes underground? Let the body return to the earth.

Our family has bought several simple wooden caskets from St. Joseph’s Abbey. Support the monks. Don’t pay the thieving funeral home business.

St. Joseph's Abbey in Covington can get the job done.

Which is exactly what the commission-based shysters at funeral homes are banking on.

Friend,

Our condolences for your loss. I have no experience with the website you posted, but the poplar veneer at $999 looks like the best casket and the best deal. LINK / We already have ours ordered from St Jospeh’s Abbey, but I suppose this would be an economical alternative.

Yours,
TulaneLSU
