How much does a casket cost?

Caskets vary widely in price, generally ranging from around 2,000 dollars for a simple model to 10,000 dollars or more for ornate hardwood or metal ones. Simpler cloth-covered or pine caskets can cost less. Here is something many families do not realize, thanks to the FTC Funeral Rule you have the right to buy a casket elsewhere, such as from an online retailer, and the funeral home must accept it without charging you an extra fee.
