Can
I purchase a casket from you instead of using the mortuary's product? |
1.
|
|
Yes. It stipulates clearly in the consumer guide that is issued
by the Federal Trade Commission, (toll free #877-382-4307, website:
http://www.ftc.gov.) The consumer has the right (which is protected
by law) to furnish their own casket and the mortuary is required
to accept and provide the rest of the funeral services.
|
2.
|
How
can I coordinate with the mortuary for delivery of the casket?
|
|
After choosing the mortuary, you need to have a meeting with the
funeral director. At that time, arrange all funeral rites and details,
including the delivery of the casket.
|
3.
|
I
have a compact car. How can I transport the casket to the mortuary? |
|
You will first assemble the two lids. Leave the bottom part in the
original folded shape. The dimensions are 50-3/4"L x 32-1/2"W.
It will fit easily in a compact car. The final assembly steps can
be done quickly at the mortuary

|
What
is the difference in using your casket compared with the mortuary's
rental casket? |
|
Your loved one needs to be moved out from rental casket after the
funeral rite. This is not necessary with the Eternity Enviro-Casket.
The Enviro-Casket is also more cost effective.
|
5.
|
Could
the family place the deceased favorite article(s) into casket cremate
together? |
|
Yes. You must notify funeral director in advance.
|
6.
|
If I
don't want to assemble the casket myself, can I ask the mortuary to
do it for me? |
|
Yes. Tell the funeral home that you have a casket that needs to
be delivered and assembled. It is best to let them know as early
as possible. Print out the assembly Instructions and give them to the mortuary.
|
7.
|
In case
the casket I ordered is delayed, what can I do? |
|
This is unlikely. If it is delayed due to weather, strike or accident
by carrier, etc., you will receive a full refund from us. It is always
a good policy to have another option in case of unexpected delay.
|
8.
|
Can I
use your casket for a ground burying service that may happen during
rain? |
|
Funeral homes will provide some type of covering, usually plastic
sheeting.
|
9.
|
If a
casket is made of pure wood but the interior fabric used is crepe,
satin or velvet etc., can it be considered environmentally friendly? |
|
It can't. Those are chemical fibers, petroleum based with toxins
contained within. We use unbleached cotton for the interior fabric and wadding in our Cherry and Pine caskets.
|
10.
|
Are
toxins contained in the glue used in the corrugated layers or the
wood finished image in your casket?
|
|
The glue is water based. The wood image is printed with soy ink. There are no
toxins contained in either component.
|
11. |
Can I
order a flower arrangement for the top of the casket? |
|
Yes. Inform your florist whether it will be an open or closed casket
service. The Funeral Director will take care of the flower arrangement
as well.
|
12.
|
Can the
family witness the cremation? |
|
Yes. In most cases, cremation providers allow family members to be
present.
|
13.
|
How long
does an actual cremation take? |
|
It depends on the weight of the individual. Average time is about
two hours.
