AFFORDABLE WOOD CASKETS
Most woodworking shops offer a variety of side products - from furniture items to handcrafted toys. These items usually come about from family and friend requests. I make many of these, but affordable wood caskets have come about from what I regard as a higher calling.
Several years ago, my step-dad was in the hospital in critical condition and not expected to live very long. My mother bought a very high-quality casket made by monks in one of the few remaining woodworking monasteries in the United States. He recovered at about the same time that a church family lost a son in a tragic accident. My mom learned that the family did not have the money to afford a funeral for their son and donated the casket to them. Years of thought and further woodworking - and what I regard as divine intervention - have led me to offer affordable wooden caskets.
The average cost of a funeral in the United States is approximately $8400. On top of this, funeral loans can top 23% in interest! In this day and time, there is no excuse for decent people to go in debt to bury a loved one. As if the pain and sorrow were not enough, the expensive fees and services burden families even more years after the funeral.
If you find yourself disturbed by the rising costs of funeral services like I have and want to do something better for your family, explore the options available to you. I strongly encourage you to visit the Federal Trade Commission's website to find the facts you need to make an informed decision.

I offer wood caskets in prices ranging from $600-$1600. I can also customize caskets to fit your particular needs.
