Collier’s Affordable Caskets

Bill was such an amazing help in this emotional and stressful time. He worked quickly and tirelessly to get us the kind of casket that we desired in the very short time we had available. I called him on a weekend afternoon before a holiday and he was able to deliver the beautiful casket on Monday afternoon. He even drove to Dallas to pick it up for us and bring it back. He did all of this with a kindness that is rarely found in business anymore. He worked well with the funeral home. In addition, he saved us thousands of dollars on our casket. I am so glad that I called Bill.

My brother-​in-​law passed in a hospital in Houston, TX. We wanted the services in Southern Georgia. Bill Collier, the owner, was able to work with folks in Houston to get the casket I needed and delivered there in time to have everything prepared for the flight. It only took a phone call to him and he made it happen, much, much cheaper than an funeral home could have done, and easier on all of us. I’ve had funeral directors try to talk me out of this, and want to charge me $ 1000 more for the same quality casket. Bill, I’ve thanked you before, and I can’t thank you enough for allowing a time with emotions are high, to make it easier. I’ve saved your number.

So death… something we all really don’t want to face, and when we face the death of a loved one, the majority of us don’t know what to do next. My babe’s father died last night, and it reminded me of my father’s death last March. Then it dawned on me, that perhaps a Unilocal would be in order, since I went about my casket buying in an unusual way. The internet. Collier’s is a local based casket shop. When you go to a funeral home, you will be presented with mucho options, and mucho bucks. There is a state law that you can provide any funeral home with your own casket. That is where Collier’s came in. I reviewed their online caskets, and went about shopping for the box. You can spend a bundle on this stuff, especially at the funeral home. Don’t get suckered in to buying a casket at a funeral home, since you will pay significantly more, about 50% in my case, than at Collier’s. I choose the Solid Cherry, with velvet interior. I opted not to get the GPS System or the AWD options, since my pa wasn’t going anywhere. ok that was a joke. sorry. I believe the cost was around 2K. The casket was delivered to the funeral home, and it was perfect, looked and was every bit the same quality as what was offered at the funeral home, and allowed me to save a great deal of money, to help with my mother’s care. Bill Collier, is a very gracious man, who has a great deal of knowlege regarding these items. The only reason for the 4 stars rather than 5, is how can shopping for a casket be an «excellent» experience. so no 5 stars for death from me…
