Beautiful blue, very honoring to my dad

Pros: beautiful a great price compared to funeral home
Cons: color not the same as online but very beautiful
Model Number: In God's Care
"This casket was beautiful and very honoring to my Dad. The color is a very rich blue with several shades which gives it a feeling of strength. The handles are also made in such a way that they look sturdy and are very attractive. We were afraid that they might look like shiny cheap plastic but we were not disappointed. This casket compared to the funeral home’s quality that was about $1600 more. We received many compliments that it was a beautiful casket. Believe it would be appropriate for a man or a woman. We ordered Standard shipping on the weekend by 8am Monday and the casket arrived Wednesday afternoon in Washington State. Thanks for the great service and casket."

Perfect

Model Number: In God's Care Casket # 810224
"Beautiful casket, color a little darker then in photo. Was shipped and delivered within 1 1/2 days. No negatives. My dad was a WWII Army Air Corps vet and this casket reminded my brother of Air Force blue. Very appropriate. I called Universal Casket company a few times for questions and they were very patient and understanding. Very happy with the purchase and service."

HUGE Savings

"I purchased the "In God's Care"casket when my dad passed away. The customer service on the phone was professional, friendly, and sensitive to the reason for the call. The casket was BEAUTIFUL, delivered right to the funeral home the next day, and the cost was HALF what the funeral home would have charged. Recommending this to anyone who has a need. A VERY satisified customer!!"

Beautiful

"When I called Universal Casket I told them I wanted the Gardner in white but when I went online I ended ordering the blue casket. They didn't look at the online order and the white one was shipped. They were going to fix the issue by overnighting the blue but I decided to keep the white for my mother. The casket was beautiful! It was $500 less then what the funeral homes least expensive casket cost. If you verify with your funeral home that they'll except the casket "curbside" I was able to order the casket with normal delivery and save expedited shipping cost since my mother had not passed yet. Bonus the caskets are made in the USA."

Beautiful Casket at an incredible price.

Pros: inexpensive fast delivery takes 5 minutes to ord
Cons: absolutely none
Model Number: In God's Care Casket
"My Dad died recently and my siblings made a choice of a $3500 casket at the funeral home. I thought this was very high (especially after going online and finding out that the exact same model # was selling at other funeral homes for $1100). A friend had purchased her Mom's casket two years ago through Costco so I cancelled the one at the funeral home and bought the In God's Care Casket through Costco. It was absolutely beautiful, delivered in 3 days to the funeral home and at 1/3 of the cost of the one my sibs picked on the showroom floor at the mortuary. Really a very beautiful item. By the way, the color is actually a very deep, almost navy blue. It looks gunmetal gray in the picture but the real color is very rich and very elegant."

Glad we picked Costco

Pros: very fast delivery i was so happy
Cons: i don't really have one
"My father passed away the night of November 9th 20100 and i ordered this casket at 9am the next morning, which was Thursday morning. Friday at noon when my sister and i arrived at the funeral home the casket has already arrived. I was told it would not arrive until Tuesday evening of next week. All's i could do was cry in relief that they had managed to get it there before 24 hours. This casket is so beautiful and the crosses all the way around are a lovely touch. The inside where it says "in God's care" is nicely and the light blue interior is also very nice. My family and i were very pleased. Thank you Costco"

Will Buy Again When the Time Comes

Pros: very fast shipping, competent staff
Model Number: 810224
"Purchased the "In God's Care" casket from Costco on a Sat evening for my Father in Law's burial. Even with regular shipping it was delivered Monday morning which was perfect timing. Quality was top notch. In fact I asked the Funeral Home to try to match it in quality and price and they couldn't. Had to have the casket shipped to SanFrancisco from Seattle and it arrived with no damage.(Did have air tray protecting it additional cost) I am sure my Father in Law would have approved as the money we saved will go to help care for his wife."

Pros: a comfort to shop at home for this item
Model Number: In God's Care Casket
"Beautiful casket, high quality bunting.
I purchased Mom's casket from funeral home ; Dad's from Costco 2 yrs later. Saved $2,000. Same high quality, elegant look. Very competent, caring staff at casket co. Purchase the item before you meet with funeral director. That saves you the pressure to buy from them. We splurged on other items with the money we saved.

Absolutely Perfect

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing was wrong!
"I ordered this casket for my father a little after midnight on Tuesday, using the standard included shipping, and it arrived at the mortuary in AZ Wednesday around noon! It was beautiful, and even the funeral director said he had used similar caskets before and at his price he couldn't come close to what we paid. It was a little more blue than how it looks in the picture, which made it even more beautiful. We saved about 70% over the mortuary costs. Don't be afraid to use Costco and Universal for your needs. It was perfect. And as I also served as pall bearer, I can attest to the heavy, sturdy quality of this casket. It helped me to really honor my Daddy."

Damaged Product but Great Customer Service

Pros: customer service
Cons: product was damaged
Model Number: Item # 810224
"It is very difficult to plan your father's funeral and deal with all the details. I found this casket at Costco,com which was about 40% cheaper then the funeral homes. I ordered it but when it arrived at the funeral home, the top was damaged and it was too late to order another one before the funeral. Universal Casket took care of the return and did right for my family. The customer service couldn't have been better. The casket was beautiful but too bad it was damaged."

Perfect fit.

Pros: add a pro
"The moment my siblings and I saw this casket we knew it was the one for our Papa. The color the quality and the repeating three cross motiff were just right for him. The cost beat the funeral homes by far and the quality out paced the funeral homes product of similar price. We were very satisfied with this purchase."

Excellent product

"This casket made a beautiful final resting place for my 98 year old father. It was more than $600 less than the funeral home's least expensive. The funeral director even said it was beautiful. Shipping was outstanding and it arrived as advertised. Thank you for making this excellent product available."
