Often funeral homes will have a small showroom to present
families with the available caskets that could be used for a
deceased family member. In many modern funeral homes the showroom
will consist of sample pieces that show the end pieces of each type
of coffin that can be used in cremations or burials simply. They
also include samples of the lining and other materials. This allows
funeral homes to showcase a larger number of coffin styles without
the need for a larger showroom. Examples of such showrooms can be
seen on the funerals.
Under a U.S. federal law, 16 CFR Part 453 (known as the Funeral Rule),
if a family provides a casket they purchased elsewhere, the establishment is
required to accept the casket and use it in the services. If the casket is
delivered direct to the funeral home from the manufacturer or store, they are
required to accept delivery of the casket. The funeral home may not add any
extra charges or fees to the overall bill if a family decides to purchase a
casket elsewhere.
