Talking About Urns and Caskets

Welcome to my site about urns and caskets. My name is Billy Vance. When I was a young boy, I loved to pour through the catalogs full of burial urns, display urns and caskets of all kinds. Coming from a family full of funeral home professionals made these catalogs widely available. My family even frequently held discussions about the latest model updates.
