Casketemporium Anmeldelser 

The services for our recently deceased father were held at a funeral home in Flushing NY. Based on the handful of casket options offered by the funeral home, my step-mom chose a Batesville casket for $6,500.

Because the planning meeting with the funeral director felt like a meeting with a car salesman, my brother and I decided to do some on-line research to confirm that the $6,500 was a fair price and/or to find a comparable casket at lower price.

I found and called a casket distributor in Michigan, but that company did not service the NY area. Fortunately, the Michigan guy tells me "Joe" can help me and gives me Joe's number.

My brother called Joe, who was able to offer the same exact casket for $4,000. At first, I planned to ask the funeral home to reduce our costs by the $2,500 difference. But, when I called Joe to confirm that he could get the same model for $4,000, I decided to buy the casket through Joe instead because he seemed so honest and helpful.

When the funeral home was informed of our decision to buy the casket separately, they tried to make it more difficult by saying that we would also need to independently purchase the vault because of their concern that the casket might not fit properly in the vault.

When the issue was brought to Joe, Joe said he could get the same vault for about $1,000 cheaper than the funeral home. However, the local vault companies won't work with Joe on vaults for this particular funeral home. The reason being that this funeral home would stop using any vault company that produced vaults for outside vendors. When I get Joe and the funeral director on a call together, the funeral director backtracks and says the funeral home would be able to get the vault.

After the call, Joe asks me for the name of the cemetery where my father will be buried. I tell him Rosehill. Off the top of his head, he tells me to call "Ruth" at Rosehill to see if a vault is actually needed. So, we called Ruth, who indicated a vault was optional, not mandatory, for my father's plot. That would up saving us another $2,200.

I would totally recommend Joe for casket needs. In addition to offering great prices, Joe seems knowledgeable on all aspects of funerals and is really good to work with.

I made arrangements in advance for a funeral for my husband who was very sick. I picked out a casket and was not that fond of it. I found Casket Emporium on line and besides having a good rating with BBB, the reviews were great. I got in touch with them and Joe took the patience and time to find what I was looking for. Never having thought to by on line I was a little nervous, when Joe delivered the Casket is was exactly what I wanted for my husband. I also bought the concrete vault from him and they were both half the price of the funeral home. They also have more of a selection then funeral homes. I highly recommend them and would tell anyone to check with them before buying from funeral homes.

I was notified of my mother's passing on Sunday evening. My mother had pre planned her funeral for an immediate burial so a casket was needed upon short notice. None that the funeral home had to offer in our price range were satisfactory to us. I spoke with Joe Monday and he went out of his way to suggest several available & assist me in finding the perfect one for mom. He had it delivered to the funeral home by mid day Tuesday & it was absolutely beautiful & perfect in every way! I can't say enough about the quality of both the service & merchandise they provided. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

I had no idea you could purchase caskets online. I did my homework and found that Casketemporium had the best next day delivery cost. Working with Joe was a blessing. He is a very caring man. Save yourself some money, with quick delivery and buy from Joe

Needed some assistance with a casket for my Brother-in-law. Due to the funeral home I was dealing with trying to rip me off by a few thousand dollars. I decided to shop around calling 3 other companies, having to leave messages or in boxing my request and someone would get back with me 3 to 4 days later. But when I called the casketempurim Joe in boxes me and stated he can take care of what I needed. Joe even went a step further by given me his personal number, because of the ruff time, I was having with the funeral home. Joe step in on a 3 way call and stopped the funeral home from ripping me off. Joe I'm truly thankful for all your help!! If anyone needs help laying someone to rest give The Casketempurim a call and ask for Joe.

I love the casket for my mother it's just as pictured... I have reccomend this company for our family for now on....

Excellent, Outstanding service we receive from Joe from Casketemporium. My brother passed and I was in a deadline with funds and time for his services. Joe came to our rescue with processing and shipping a high quality casket within two days. He promised the funeral home would have the casket Friday morning and kept his promise. We were able to have the viewing Friday afternoon. Thank you so much Casketemporium!

The first conversation with Joe was filled with courtesy and professionalism. He delivered a casket that was perfect in condition and within the time frame he stated. The convenience of his service was well appreciated during a difficult time. I highly recommend that you use his business for your casket needs. His prices and variety were phenomenal.

Funerals are already tough, but they're made worse due to stress from demanding, opinionated Asian relatives, very specific Asian customs I have never heard of in my life and the unplanned financial burden.

No joke, I was stressed beyond belief. Costs were piling up quickly and I felt like if I kept making compromises, I wasn't going to be able to fulfill the deceased's last wishes.....until I stumbled upon Joe.

Joe reached out to me constantly throughout the process to make sure I got everything I needed and even gave me advice on how to handle certain issues during the process. Joe works hard for you because he understands how hard this time can be.

He helped me with a selection of caskets that fit the deceased's wishlist in a wide price range so there was no financial pressure to go expensive. I would not hesitate to recommend Joe to any friend or family, because he goes above and beyond what his job entails.

Mr. Joe, words cannot Express how much my family thanks you! You helped us through these difficult times & reassured me that I can call you at any given time. You even mailed the casket out without worrying about money. You are in the right business and GOD has given you a gift. If & when anyone that I know needs a casket, your company will forever be mentioned. Thank you!

My father passed away on April 2, 2020 and we needed to find a nice casket he would’ve liked without a ridiculous mark up. The funeral home prices were just not going to work, so I started searching online. I contacted several online stores who all had several issues (inventory, hidden prices, shipping, and arrival time). Then my search led me to Casket Emporium. Joe was nothing short of great. He was nice, patient ,understanding, and helped me find the perfect casket for my father. He personally made sure the casket was delivered to the funeral home two days before the viewing. The casket exceeded our expectations, and even the funeral home stated it was a very nice casket. This is the place to find a nice casket for a loved one when looking for quality, reasonable prices, and excellent customer service.

I was referred to this company by a good friend. I worked with this company and I want to,say that it was well worth it. The company treated me very well and there professionalism was outstanding.

I generally do not write reviews, but I felt compelled to write a review for Casket Emporium. In particular, for the owner Joe who contacted me within minutes of me contacting him on the website. He was compassionate, honest and truly a pleasure to work with. He was in constant communication with me and helped find the exact casket we were looking for for our dear grandmother. He searched and searched until he found exactly what we were looking for, gave us a great price and even drove it to the funeral home and delivered it earlier than expected. I wish more business owners still had the kind of honestly and integrity that Joe has. Even though this was a very hard time for myself and my family, Joe made the whole process very easy and extremely professional. I would give him 10 stars if that was an options. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Honestly, Casket Emporium was like having an angel on our side. When another funeral home literally gave false information to try to get my family to buy their product, Joe from Casket Emporium helped me to learn the truth about pricing, sizing, and other information to make informed decisions for my loved one! I recommend them 100%!

Joe was excellent he kept his word every time . I unfortunately had to bury 3 of my family members in 90 days and this took a lot of pressure off because he helped our family save a lot of money and offered us great service and information. He was respectful, quick and accurate

These guys helped me out last minute. Made sure everything was delivered as promised and on time. Excellent service and I couldn’t beat the price anywhere I looked. Thanks again

A family should never have to bury their 6 year old little girl, but we did... in the midst of all the shock and grief our funeral home gave us three choices for a casket. All of which were unacceptable, one looked like a plastic box, our princess deserved the very best! My son set off in a journey to find the perfect casket, we found Joe's company in Brooklyn, NY! Joe was there when our family needed his help the most, sent us so many beautiful choices, he kept all of his promises! From choice, quality to a timely delivery, always comforting me and my worries of something going wrong... nothing went wrong, Joe made it possible for our princess to have her beautiful pink casket.... Thank You Joe, for all you did for our family, you put our mind at ease when it came to this most difficult choice! I’m sorry I can only give you 5 stars, you deserve at least 10 stars ..

Joe is a very trustworthy merchant who will go above and beyond to make sure your loved one is taken care of. Even though my funeral director was lying and giving both of us a hard time about using an "outside" company for the casket, Joe stood by me and met all their unreasonable demands. His product was beautiful. Everyone present at the funeral said my dad was going to be laid to rest in a Cadillac. I would highly recommend Joe and his company to anyone who needs his fine quality merchandise and services. Thank you very much Casket Emporium.

My experience with Joe and Casket Emporium was amazing! The product was beautiful, the pricing was reasonable and most importantly the service was impeccable. In a time of hardship, the seamlessness of this process made my life a whole lot easier.
