I have debated whether to respond to this review option for several months. The casket met our expectations. What did not meet my expectations was the shipping charge that was tacked on to the cost of the casket. It was almost as much as the actual casket. I purchased the casket to help my children with the cost of their dad's funeral. While I spoke to a representative of your company about the casket and it's cost, the cost of shipping was never mentioned. Imagine my surprise when I opened up my credit card account to view the charges and found two charges from your company. I don't have a problem with their being a charge to ship the casket. My problem lies in the fact that adding a casket to a truck that was already, according to your representative, going to be heading this way, should not have cost over $1,000.00. My phone call to Sky Caskets got me the explanation that the shipping charge was so high because it was a rush order. Not true. Your representative stated that you had a truck loading up at that time and the casket could be placed on that truck if the paper work was completed and processed. If I had been told that shipping was going to almost double the cost of the casket I would have just purchased one through the local funeral home and forgone the risk of receiving a damaged casket that would have had to be returned. I never say never, but at this time I have no intention of doing business with your company again. Nor will I recommend your company to anyone else.
