CASKET PURCHASES

If you purchase a casket for a burial and you buy it from some Internet retailer or from a wholesale-to-the-public retailer like Direct Casket Inc. of Queens, New York, once the funeral home quotes you a price for funeral services, by law, the funeral home supposedly cannot raise the cost of its services just because you decided NOT to purchase a potentially overpriced casket from the funeral home!
