We've been asked about Walmart's new line of caskets. "If I buy a casket at Walmart can I have a funeral at Krause Funeral Homes?"
Absolutely. In today's economy, we understand that families are looking for value in all aspects of their lives, even funerals. A family is welcome to provide merchandise such as a casket and have Krause Funeral Homes provide professional services. A family member would need only to be responsible and in attendance for casket delivery to ensure that it arrives in the condition expected. Some families who have provided merchandise also suggest to people choosing this option that they plan on being flexible on funeral timing as delivery uncertainty has occurred.
We are proud of our variety of price options and welcome you to compare casket costs. We offer a stately Batesville Earthtone Steel Casket for $1,050 as well as options in mahogany, cherry, maple, oak, pecan, polar, bronze, copper, etc. We also offer containers made of easily biodegradable materials, such as cardboard, wicker or pine.
