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. - John-Bryan
