Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must accept your casket without charging extra fees or penalties. The variety out on Amazon is pretty darn expansive. Most expensive one I spotted was (just) $3,300. Oh...... there's a $9,700 wooden urn box thing too! Grace & Peace & Love to you all - Matt p.s. most economical option: go Old West style
