ASK DRAKE

Drake Smith, MSW, is the Owner and Funeral Director of North Thompson Funeral & Drake Cremation Services

Q. Why cremate an expensive casket?

A. Most people choose a basic container that meets legal requirements.  Our basic is a plywood box for $145.  Some funeral homes sell cardboard boxes for $200 or more. Why don’t we use cardboard and make more profit?  Call/drop by and we’ll tell you.  If someone insists on cardboard, however, we suggest another funeral home.
