The Spirit of Abbey Caskets

For more than a decade, the Benedictine monks of Saint Meinrad Archabbey have operated Abbey Caskets. All proceeds from our handcrafted wooden caskets and cremation urns support the prayer and work of the monks.

Benefits of Pre-Paying with Abbey Caskets

If you've considered pre-planning your funeral arrangements, you should know that there are many advantages to selecting and buying a casket now from Abbey Caskets.

As with the rest of the pre-planning process, selecting and arranging payment for your own casket will save those tasks from falling on what will be your bereaved family. But there are other benefits, too - both personal and financial.

Choosing your own Abbey Casket adds a very personal touch to your funeral. Friends and family will know that you are being laid to rest in the beautiful, handcrafted casket of your own choosing - the style, the wood, the finish, all combining to make a simple, elegant statement.

The financial benefits are significant as well. Federal law requires that funeral homes accept caskets and cremation urns from other providers, and they cannot charge a fee for doing so. The craftsmanship offered by Abbey Caskets usually comes at a fraction of the cost of caskets offered by funeral homes. Plus, by making your choice now, you "lock in" today's prices - your cost won't change even if the price of your chosen casket rises through the years.

When you choose and purchase your casket in advance, the money is placed in a trust until the casket is needed. Then, when Abbey Caskets is notified, your fully paid casket is quickly delivered to the funeral home or other location of your choice. Your payment includes delivery and taxes.

Did You Know You Can Make Monastic Prayer Requests?

Everything the monks do is a means by which to pray, whether as a community, in moments of private prayer, or in their work of service to others.

Each day, the monks gather to celebrate the Eucharist and pray the Liturgy of the Hours. If you would like for us to add the name of a family member or friend to the prayer board, please contact us at info@abbeycaskets.com or click the button below to fill out on online prayer request form.
