All about Oak Casket - Price, Types and Where to Buy

Price Of Oak Caskets

There are many factors that will determine the final cost of your casket. On average, an oak wood casket will cost you at least $2000 for a very basic model. Since it is a higher quality wood, it is priced higher than lower end wood caskets such as pine, poplar or willow caskets. 

However you can save thousands of dollars on the price of an oak casket by buying it online instead of from your funeral home. For example, at Titan Casket we offer several customizable casket options at a fraction of the price that you would pay at your funeral home.
