Planning a loved one’s funeral is never an easy process, and most people probably don’t realize that Costco sells caskets and urns on their website. Prices for caskets range from around $1,300 to $1,600, and here’s something reassuring: the Federal Trade Commission requires funeral homes to accept caskets purchased from outside sources, so you have every right to choose what works best for your family. Keep in mind that Costco only ships to certain states, so visit their site to see if this option is available in your area.
Musical instruments
