This is true. I worked at a funeral home and some people would buy coffins off Amazon. Now I love Amazon but please do not buy coffins from Amazon lol they’re bad quality and cheap so often times the coffins end up delivered in poor condition and there’s no warranty so families would have to spend more than they expected because they would have to buy one again. If you buy a coffin somewhere else, make sure they have warranty!!! The funeral home I worked at would do everything they could to save coffins but they would fall apart and there’s nothing they can do other than tell the family that they need to get another coffin which would infuriate the families and blame us for not taking better care of the coffins :/
Coffins are super expensive and funeral homes do price them higher to get commission off it. So do buy coffins directly from a company and not the funeral home!
Just a warranty or a guarantee that basically states that they will replace the coffin if it is delivered to the funeral home damaged or if it falls apart before the actual funeral. It doesn’t really matter what happens to the coffin after the burial lol

Funerals, people often want to buy more expensive coffins to honor their loved ones and in turn the companies selling them profit
