If you want a complement, the funeral home said that the casket delivered was the most beautiful casket they’ve ever received from a third party. It had absolutely no damage, which they said is common while being shipped. It actually arrived early, which we were worried about being around the holidays. It was a clean, beautiful grain, wood caskets with a deep shine color. We are very happy with what we received, at a fraction of the cost the funeral home’s caskets. Hearing the funeral home’s compliments ended up making me positive this was the correct decision.
