Merchandise

Larry Taylor Funeral and Cremation Services provides a wide and varied selection of funeral merchandise to meet the needs of all families we serve. We display exclusively Batesville caskets, which are the finest quality caskets made. We feel our families deserve nothing but the best. We can, however, usually acquire any type or make of casket available in the nation.

All of our merchandise is divided into value categories to assist families in their selections. They are premium for the family that only the best will do, standard for families that want fine quality without having to pay premium prices, and basic for families that need to select items that fit their budget.

	Caskets Caskets are made of basically two materials, they are either metal or wood. The premium metals are made of bronze and copper. Bronze and Copper caskets will not rust, deteriorate or corrode. Standard caskets are made of Stainless Steel. Standard caskets, like premium, resist rusting and corroding, but are in a more affordable price range. Then there are basic steel caskets, which are not permanent. There are also caskets made of Mahogany, Walnut, Oak, Cherry, Poplar and other types of woods. Most of the metal caskets we display are protective caskets (they will seal), while the hardwood caskets are non-protective.
	Vaults An outer burial container is required by all local cemeteries. Most families choose to place the casket in a sealed burial vault, however this is not required by law, it is strictly a family's preference. We also offer a wide variety of outer burial containers. Some people refer to them as vaults, however, a vault is a sealed container that is water tight and air tight. This is not required by law, although most cemeteries have a requirement of at least a concrete box or grave liner which is not air or water tight. However, we normally use Wilbert Burial Vaults, which are also the finest in quality available.
	Memorial Monuments and Markers Permanent memorials stand the test of time. They are a solid and visible tribute to a life that has been lived. Permanent Memorials individualize and designate a physical place where loved ones can come to pay their respects.
	Cremation Caskets Container Options for Cremation include: Hardwood Caskets, for those desiring something more traditional; Cremation Caskets for those wanting a simple yet dignified casket constructed specifically for cremation; and Basic Cremation Containers.
	Urns Memorial Urns are permanent containers for the cremated body. We offer a wide range of styles and prices appropriate for burial, niches, scattering, keepsakes or discreet placement in a home. Your personal plans for the final placement of the urn can play an important part in you selection process. Some urns are ornately designed for display purposes while others are very basic in style. Many of the urns can also be personalized with engravings or laser designs.
	Urn Vaults Urn Vaults are protective containers in which urns are commonly placed. In many cases, where families desire to bury the urn-encapsulated remains of their loved one, cemeteries will require the use of an urn vault. Much like burial vaults for caskets, urn vaults protect the urn from being crushed, and protect the ground above them from caving in over time.
	Flowers Our staff can assist with floral tributes from family and friends. A wide variety of selections are available that can be displayed at the service, ceremony or visitation.
	Memorial Registry Gifts A variety of Memorial Registry Books, Service Folders and Acknowledgement Cards are available that can reflect the life and interests of the deceased.
