We stock a wide selection of caskets, which are reflected in the images below, and also available for in-person inspection at our funeral home in Ellensburg. Our Casket Price List is also included in PDF format above to remain compliant with the FTC Funeral Rule.
Our philosophy regarding the way we display and sell caskets simple - we never want you to feel as if you have to ask if there is "something in the back" that might be cheaper, nor will we try to sell you something better than we would select for ourselves or members of our own family. A casket it isn't a purchase people make every day, which is we show a sampling of everything from the least expensive cloth covered option to solid cherry and many options in between. This concept helps families understand how caskets are priced in relation to the quality of materials used while providing a wide selection of colors, materials and designs to fit every family's desires and budget.

The purpose of an Outer Burial Container (either a grave liner or vault) is to maintain the integrity of the cemetery grounds by creating an outer enclosure around the casket.
While not required by any law, almost all cemeteries require them as a condition of burial on their grounds. Some cemeteries sell their own grave liners and provide their own graveside setup as part of their charges. Other cemeteries are not equipped to do so and defer the responsibility of selling the outer enclosure and setup of the graveside to the funeral home.
We have partnered with Wilbert, the leading national supplier of burial vaults, to offer quality products and graveside setups to the families we serve. The vaults available for your family to select are included below and many come with unique personalization options to make the graveside service memorable and special.
The prices shown are for the liner or vault only and are subject to applicable Washington State sales tax.
There is an additional charge for delivery and setup of any outer burial container selected, which is assessed by Wilbert based on cemetery location - Ellensburg $414; Cle Elum $498; Roslyn $512 - and will be added to your final statement as a cash advance item. In addition to the delivery and setup charges referenced, the vault company also assesses a charge of $400 for burials held on a Saturday or $600 for burials held on a Sunday.
We are always willing and able to answer any questions you may have about the different types of outer burial containers offered.

While not a "casket", the alternative container serves a similar purpose for cremation by serving as the vessel that your loved one is placed into and cremated in. We offer a variety of alternative containers for your family to select but please know that ultimately they all functionally do the same thing. We don't believe it is our place to make assumptions as to what your family may or may not want when planning a cremation for your loved one which is why we offer a variety of alternative containers to select from as shown below.
Each alternative container listed below is also noted for its suitability for different types of services. It is the policy of our firm to only direct offsite services with the body present with an appropriate container that allows for safe and respectful transport of the deceased as well as public viewings that precede cremation only in specific cremation containers. If your family does not wish to purchase a container that will ultimately be cremated, we also offer rental casket options that are respectful yet affordable and can be discussed with your funeral director at the time of arrangement.

Natural Organic Reduction utilizes the body’s own naturally occurring microbes to gently transform remains into nutrient-rich soil. The process is conducted in individual pods and takes about 60 days to complete. The resulting soil (approximately one cubic yard) can then be returned to your family to be planted in gardens or donated to a green belt property in Kent, Washington to aid in the restoration and rejuvenation of a Washington forest.
Our price for Natural Organic Reduction includes basic services of the funeral director and staff, transfer of remains to the funeral home, up to five days refrigeration, basic sanitary care (no embalming, NOR will not work when a body has been embalmed) and one hour optional private family viewing during weekday business hours, transfer of remains to the Natural Organic Reduction facility in Auburn, Washington and the fees for the actual Natural Organic Reduction process.
