Saved money, quality product

Model Number: Continental SIlver Casket
"We purchased this casket on a Friday and it was delivered on Tuesday, did not use expedited shipping. Spoke with wonderful woman (can"t remember her name) who told me exactly how to order. Saved $2,000.00 by using Costco and not funeral home. The quqlity was great, couldn't tell the difference from others looked at.
Thank you Costco and the casket company for making a stressful and expensive time in our lives a little easier.

Model Number: 830902
"OMG! I just wanted to take a few moments out of day to thank Margie for her exceptional customer service in ordering "The Continental Silver Casket" and her suggestions on how to plan my mother funeral. She was extremely professional, compassionate, and helpful. It appears that she was born to do this very sensitive job (smile). I also want to state that this casket was very beautiful! The quality of the product appeared to be much higher than what I saw at the funeral home and was at least $1,600 less. My family and friends all agreed that this casket was simply put, FABULOUS!!!!". Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you margie and Costco!!!"

Amazing service

"I was impressed by the quality of service provided by Margie, Universal Caskets, through Costco. I placed the order at 8:30 am on a Friday and was afraid delivery would be delayed due to the weekend, so I paid for the expedited service. Spoke with Margie to see if delivery could take place before Monday, and as I was leaving the funeral home at 11:30 am, only 3 hrs. after order placement... the casket was being delivered! Superior quality of the product and at a considerable savings. Thank you Margie, for making this difficult time a bit easier.

Satisfied customer

Pros: beautiful casket
Cons: none
"Thank you, thank you Costco for saving our family $1,000. How dare the Mortuary insinuate their casket was better quality when it was the same except their's was $1,000 more. It is the law that they except your casket purchased from Costco no matter what they say. Be careful when ordering with reference to the delivery date. It only took one day for the delivery. Stay strong and save money."
