What types of caskets does Costco sell?
While Costco Wholesale may change their offerings periodically, for now, they offer half sofa coffins on their website.
A half-recumbent coffin differs from a full-recumbent coffin in that the lid is split in the middle so that half of the body can be displayed when the coffin is opened for a visit.
Here are the types of caskets that Costco sells:
solid wood coffin
You’ll find two coffins made of solid poplar at Costco. A wooden coffin option is available for exhumation and cremation.
Note, however, that it is not stated that the coffin is metal-free, while some religious groups may require it.
18 gauge steel coffin
Costco sells number 18 coffins in assorted colors, silver and blue, with the Lord’s Prayer inside the lid.
Steel coffins are measured by the thickness of the material. For example, an eighteen-gauge steel coffin means that eighteen sheets are stacked on top of each other to form an inch.
How long does it take to ship a coffin from Costco?
Costco will deliver the casket within three business days, as long as the order is placed by 10 a.m. PST. For example, if you place your order by 10am on a Monday, expect the coffin to arrive on Thursday.
However, if you miss the 10am deadline, the order will be pushed to the next working day, so delivery is expected on Friday.
- Orders placed at 10AM PST on Wednesday will arrive on Monday
