Selecting A Casket | Sundquist Funeral Home of Lowville

Several factors influence your choice and determine its value. Choose from a variety of materials, designs and features to make the casket special for the funeral service you arrange.

Burial caskets are commonly available in either metal or wood. Some prefer metal for its durability, design/color options and high-quality finishes. Others are drawn to the warmth and natural beauty of wood. We provide a range of styles in a variety of metals and wood species, so you can choose the right casket for your loved one.

Details make a difference, including considerations such as:Style, grade and color of interior fabricColor and level of finish – brushed or painted metals, highly polished or satin woodsShape (based on the workmanship and materials involved) – from simpler, lower-priced square caskets to higher-valued rounded urn designsHow handles and other hardware complement the casket’s overall appearance

Family Choices® is a way to personalize your choice to reflect individual interests, passions and history. Several options provide an opportunity to personalize with meaningful words, symbols or other reminders of a unique life story.
