Frequently Asked Questions About Casket Prices
What is the cheapest casket available in Jamaica?

What's the difference between wood and metal caskets?

The choice often comes down to personal preference, budget, and desired level of protection.

Can I bring my own casket?
Yes, you can purchase a casket from any provider and we will use it for the funeral service. However, we recommend reviewing the casket in person to ensure it meets your expectations. Our selection offers quality options at competitive prices with the convenience of seeing before purchasing.
What casket is best for cremation?
For cremation, we recommend a cremation casket ($75,000-$95,000) or a basic wood casket ($125,000-$145,000). These are suitable for viewing and cremation. Metal caskets cannot be cremated. See our cremation packages for complete pricing.

Are imported caskets worth the extra cost?
Imported premium caskets ($550,000-$650,000) offer superior materials like bronze or copper, ornate designs, and luxury finishes.
