Caskets
Caskets represent a premium and often culturally significant option within the broader spectrum of funeral merchandise, offering families a wider choice in terms of design, material, and presentation. While more commonly used in certain faith or cultural contexts, caskets are an important part of many funeral directors’ product offerings. Funeral Service Times covers developments in casket supply, import trends, design innovation, pricing, sustainability, and client preferences—providing funeral professionals with insight into how caskets fit within modern funeral planning and commercial strategy.
