Pre-Purchasing a Casket

Choosing to prepay for your casket is an important decision. By selecting and buying a casket now, you get these advantages:

• You can choose the exact style, wood, and finish for your casket.

• You can ensure that your choices are recorded and followed.

• You can “lock-in” the price of your chosen casket at “today’s price.”

• You relieve your loved ones of some of the burdens of planning your funeral.

Your casket purchase will be pre-funded using an insurance contract. The insurance contract will be assigned to a trust until the time of your need. This provides the greatest protection of your funds. Then, when Saint Joseph Abbey Caskets is notified of your death, your fully paid casket will be delivered to the funeral home or other location of your choice.

To begin the process fill out the “Casket Selection” form found here.
