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?
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.
