Savings in Life & Death

Mourn your loved ones; not the cost it took to bury them

With her last breath, old auntie only had one request: “The economy is down,” she said. “So don't spend too much on my casket.” Of course you'd hate to go against her last wish. And she was right; your finances can't support an extravagant funeral.

US-Funerals Online reports that caskets can be the most expensive part of the funeral, ranging from $2,000 to almost $10,000 dollars depending on the design and material of the casket. Costco has 18 gauge steel caskets ranging from $924.99 to $1499.99. Copper caskets are $2599.99; which is a good deal cheaper than the average price of what you’ll find when casket shopping.

If you’d like to keep old auntie around, urns at Costco range from $79.99 to $99.99. Then there’s the steel blue silk urn at $49.99.

Costco also has pet urns, keepsakes, and sympathy flowers all at prices to fit reasonable prices. Mourning doesn't have to be limited, but your finances certainly can.
