CHILDRENS CASKETS

          Thankfully, we do not often require caskets for children.  However, when tragedy strikes a family with the death of a child, we are here to accomodate the family with special caskets for children.

          Caskets for children come in special sizes from 18 inches to 5 feet, to appropriately accomodate the size and age of child.  Unfortunately, there is not a great selection available to us in casket styles or construction materials.  Most are covered in white satin or "lambskin" cloth, with some also made with white or blue cloth or oak veneer.  For teenage children, over 5 feet tall, adult caskets are used at a discounted price.

          If we do not have a suitable casket in our own inventory, we will find one from one of the other local funeral homes, or we will have one brought in overnight from our suppliers.  Likewise, our suppliers' cost to us, for childrens' caskets, is surprisingly high compared to adult caskets, but the price we charge the family is only enough to cover our cost of the merchandise and handling.  We do not profit from the tragic death of a child.

          Furthermore, if there is a financial hardship in the family, we will provide our services and casket at whatever price the family can reasonably afford, or even at NO CHARGE. 

          Upon request, childrens' caskets are available to be seen at either of our locations.  However, we did not feel that it was appropriate to display them on our website.  We are sure that you will understand.
