There Is No “Traditional” Funeral: Your Rights, Your Choices

You don’t have to follow outdated traditions or overpay for funeral arrangements. Learn how to take control of your choices, save money, and ensure your wishes are respected—backed by your legal rights as a consumer.

There Is No "Traditional" Funeral: Your Rights, Your Choices

There is no one-size-fits-all funeral. You have the right to choose how your arrangements are carried out—and that includes how much you spend.

Your preferences matter most. Whether you want something simple, custom, or unique, you are in charge. The more you know, the more confident and cost-effective your decisions can be.

Become an Informed Consumer

An informed consumer makes better choices. Sadly, some in the traditional funeral industry may prefer you to stay uninformed. Why? Because the less you know, the easier it is to overcharge.

• Caskets from Casket Gallery Showrooms are of equal or better quality—often at up to 50% less than funeral homes.
• Many funeral providers mark up casket prices by 500–800% to boost profits. Always ask who owns the funeral home!
• Thankfully, many professional providers do offer fair, respectful, and transparent services that align with your values.

Local or Nationwide—You Have Options

Whether you're planning locally or need delivery across the U.S., Casket Gallery offers nationwide service. Our caskets can be shipped to any funeral home or mortuary nationwide—no matter the distance.

Looking for something custom? We can craft copper, bronze, or fine wood caskets to your exact specifications—often within just 72 hours. Need it sooner? We offer expedited shipping within 24 hours.

Know Your Rights: The Funeral Rule

The Funeral Rule, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), ensures that you can:

• Choose and pay for only the goods and services you need.
• Receive clear, itemized pricing—whether shopping in person or by phone.
• Use a casket purchased from a third-party retailer without additional fees.
