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. As I browsed through the options, and listened to the in depth conversations, I was always struck about the material quality and level of craftsmanship put into each one. I will use this site to discuss the urn and casket selection process in more detail. Thanks for coming by.
