White Caskets and Coffins: Prices, Styles and Buying Guide

How much does a white casket cost?

A white casket from Titan Casket costs between $1,399 and $4,599. A standard-width steel white casket starts at $1,399. Oversize white caskets (28 inches and wider) start at $1,999, and the widest 40-inch and 44-inch models reach $4,599. Because Titan sells direct to the public rather than through a funeral home, these are the prices you pay — funeral homes commonly mark the same caskets up two to five times.

Federal law is on your side here. Under the FTC Funeral Rule, a funeral home must accept a casket you bought elsewhere and cannot charge you a handling fee for it.

White casket prices by series

Prices above are Titan Casket direct prices for the entry width of each model, current as of September 2026. Wider sizes cost more within the same series — the Atlas XL, for example, runs $1,999 at 28 inches and $3,099 at 36 inches. Shipping is included.

What does a white casket symbolise?

White has carried the same associations across most Western funeral traditions for centuries: purity, peace, innocence and a fresh beginning. That is why white caskets are chosen most often for children and infants, for young people, and for women — and why they appear frequently at Catholic and Orthodox funerals, where white is the liturgical colour of resurrection rather than mourning.

There is no rule about it. Plenty of families choose white simply because it looked like the person, or because it photographs beautifully against flowers. A white casket carries no implication about age, faith or cause of death.

White casket or white coffin — is there a difference?

In American usage the two words are often swapped, but they describe different shapes. A casket is rectangular with four sides and a split (half-couch) or full lid. A coffin is the older six-sided shape, wider at the shoulders and tapering towards the feet. Almost everything sold in the United States today, including every white model listed above, is a casket. If you have been quoted for a white coffin in the UK or Australia, the six-sided shape is what is meant. Our guide to casket types, styles and shapes covers the distinction in more detail.

Choosing the right white casket

Interior

White crepe is the most common lining and gives an all-white finish from the outside in. Many families prefer a contrast instead — pink and light blue are the usual choices, and velvet reads richer than crepe under funeral home lighting. Interior colour does not change the price on most Titan models.

Hardware

Hardware colour is the single biggest visual decision on a white casket. Silver hardware keeps the whole casket cool and understated; gold hardware, as on the Orion Series white and gold, warms it considerably and is the most requested white casket combination we sell. Changing hardware colour on a build-to-order casket is free.

Size

A standard casket has a 24-inch interior width and fits most adults. If the person was broader than roughly 24 inches across the shoulders or hips, you need an oversize casket. White oversize models run 28, 29, 33 and 36 inches, and the Commander XXL reaches 40 and 44 inches. Measure at the widest point, and add two inches. If you are unsure, our guide to standard casket sizes walks through it, or call us and we will help you work it out.

Gasketed or not

A rubber gasket seals the casket against air and moisture. It does not preserve a body indefinitely — no casket does — and many cemeteries do not require one. It is available on most white models as a paid option. Choose it if it matters to your family, not because you have been told it is necessary.

White and gold caskets

White with gold hardware is the most searched white casket combination and Titan carries it at three price points: the Orion Series at $1,599 standard width, the Full Couch Orion at $1,698 for a full-length opening lid, and the Atlas XL at $1,999 in oversize widths. All three pair a high-gloss white steel shell with goldtone handles, corners and trim.

Oversize white caskets

Oversize is where families are most often overcharged, because funeral homes rarely stock wide caskets and mark up what they have to order in. Titan carries white in every oversize width: Atlas XL from $1,999 in 28 to 36 inches, Reflections XL from $2,599 with swingbar handles, and the Commander XXL at 40 and 44 inches from $3,999. Confirm the delivery date with us before ordering a 40-inch or 44-inch model.

If you cannot find the white casket you pictured

Every Titan casket is built to order, so a model you have seen in another colour can usually be finished in white. Our custom casket design tool lets you set the exterior colour, interior fabric, hardware finish and head panel yourself, from $1,499. Most custom orders ship within one business day. Or call 1-501-420-3990 and describe what you have in mind.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a white coffin?

A white coffin or casket bought direct costs $1,399 to $4,599 depending on width and series. The same casket bought through a funeral home typically costs two to five times that.

Are white caskets only for children?

No. White is chosen most often for children and young people, but it is a standard adult colour and Titan sells it in every adult width up to 44 inches.

Can I get a white casket with a coloured interior?

Yes. Pink, light blue and velvet interiors are all available in white, and on most models the interior colour does not change the price.

Do funeral homes have to accept a white casket I bought online?

Yes. The FTC Funeral Rule requires a funeral home to accept a casket you supply and prohibits it from charging you a handling fee for doing so.

How quickly can a white casket be delivered?

Titan builds to order and most caskets ship within one business day, with shipping included. Oversize 40-inch and 44-inch models should be confirmed with us before ordering.

Getting help with the rest of the funeral

Choosing the casket is one decision among dozens. If you are arranging everything at once, our step-by-step guide to planning a funeral sets out the order to do things in, and Titan Concierge offers free funeral planning help if you would rather talk it through with someone.

Families comparing costs across a burial or cremation, a service and a plot often find the savings are larger outside the casket than inside it. Titan Concierge provides funeral planning services that price the whole arrangement rather than one line of it, so you can see where the money is actually going.
