Funerals and Funeral Products

Funerals are a very difficult time for most people and when it comes to planning a funeral it can be quite stressful trying to quickly obtain prices for funerals and other funeral items such as the coffin or the funeral cremation urn. Most families know little about funerals and what is involved in the planning of a funeral until they are confronted with the sad passing of a family member.

Funeral Coffin or Funeral Casket?

Buying a coffin or funeral casket is a important and big part of the decision making process and can become quite expensive. There are many option and different styles of funeral coffins and caskets. Firstly one must choose a funeral coffin or or funeral casket? What is the difference you may ask? A funeral coffin has a tapered end and a funeral casket is rectangular and more ornate. A funeral casket can come with one large single lid or a split lid which allows one half of the casket lid to be opened at the time of viewing. Other things to consider when purchasing a funeral coffin or casket is the material it is made from. Coffins and caskets come in many different materials and finishes including solid timber, cardboard, compressed fiber board (mdf) or steel. Though steel funeral caskets are more popular in America than Australia. Some people choose not to use a funeral coffin or casket at all and instead use a shroud to cover and bury the body.

Funeral Cremation Urns

The same goes for cremation urns. The options are endless. Hunter S Thomson for example had his ashes shot out of a canon which is certainly one way to go out with a bang! Other options include sending your ashes into space..though I do believe this may be just a brief orbit of one ashes through space on a space ship and not permanently sending your loved ones ashes out into the cosmos. Regardless of the details, these can become very costly methods, but of cause it nice to have the option should one desire it.

I myself still remain undecided if I even want to be buried or cremated after my funeral?
