Choosing a more affordable Casket:

Caskets can be very expensive but there are dignified options that may work for those families who cannot afford the caskets the funeral home initially provides. Often, if a family thinks it cannot afford a typical funeral home casket, they can afford a casket used for cremation (which are less expensive than the other caskets, and which are perfectly acceptable to bury their loved one in, and which the funeral home should be able to show the family as well). Another option is to order a casket. The Trappist Monks make caskets that are dignified at a fraction of the cost of the ones you have to choose from at the average funeral home. By using one of these, you will also be supporting the Trappist Monks in their own ministry. These caskets can be shipped very quickly as well. If you’re interested, you can find more information on line at www.trappistcaskets.com. We put this here only to stress that the dignity of a Christian funeral should be affordable to all.
