Imperial casket FAQs

Q: The director at the funeral home said they would include the casket for my loved one as part of a package deal. What if I want to use a cheaper one?
A: Thankfully, there is a federal law that mandates that funeral homes must accept any casket you provide to them, even if it is purchased from somewhere else. Truth be told, it is often easier to choose a readily available casket from the funeral home. However, it is certainly up to you when deciding what to do. The funeral home cannot legally deny you the opportunity to find and provide a casket that you have found that costs less money.

Q: My loved one lived a colorful life. How can I show that through the casket?
A: Even though many caskets are very plain in color and style, there are certainly other ones that are less traditional. For most people, a traditional wooden casket that has been professionally treated or a nice black or white casket is their first choice. However, if you don’t think your loved one fits into that mold, there are other options. Some caskets have large photos transposed on them while others even have things like logos from favorite sports teams. If you want it, most likely there is someone that can do it for you.

Q: If I want to bury the ashes of my loved one, what cam I do to ensure that it stays safe once buried?
A: Because urns are often built to open and close easily without locks, you may want to consider protecting them if they are buried. One way to do this is by purchasing a vault in which you can place these items. By using one of these vaults, you can ensure that anything that might want to get into the urn will not be able to thanks to the air-tight vault. Vaults typically cost between $150-$500.

How do I transfer my pet’s ashes into an urn?

When you have your pet cremated the ashes will be returned to you enclosed in a plastic bag inside a temporary urn. You can easily place the bag into the new urn. Or you can have the creation facility place the ashes into your personalized urn.

My cat loved my garden. I would like to place a memorial in that area for her. What type of memorial is appropriate for a garden?

There are many choices for a garden memorial. One of the most popular choices is a memorial stone. A memorial stone includes the pet’s name and years of life.

I want a custom made casket for my pet. Where can I find one?

For a custom made casket your best bet is to look on the Internet. Internet shops and retailers will often offer custom services. In most cases they will also offer quick shipping directly to your home.
