Outer burial containers
In most areas of the country, state or local law does not require that you buy a container to surround the casket in the grave. However, many cemeteries require that you have such a container so that the grave will not sink in. Either a grave liner or a burial vault will satisfy these requirements.

This is our complete General Price List, effective 27 September 2026 and subject to change without notice. You may choose only the items you want; any arrangement includes the basic services fee, and if a legal or other requirement means you must buy something you did not ask for, we explain the reason in writing on your statement. Required by the FTC Funeral Rule (16 CFR Part 453). Casket and urn lists in full at the funeral home.
Payment
All financial arrangements must be completed, and payment for all merchandise and services is due, before the time of service, shipment, cremation, merchandise orders or documentation such as amendments and additional death certificates.
- Prepaid funeral plan
- Cash
- Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express (a 2.5% processing fee is added)
- No checks, personal or commercial
- Insurance assignments through a third party. The funding company must verify assignability and the beneficiary, and it charges a fee.
Casket and urn price lists are shown in full at the funeral home before you are shown any casket or urn, as the FTC Funeral Rule requires. Cemetery charges, medical examiner charges and additional certified copies are pass-through costs: we collect them on your behalf and forward them without markup, and they appear as their own lines on your Statement of Funeral Goods and Services.
