Choosing a casket is a very personal decision which reflects the personality of your loved one. It is your final tribute to their existence. Powles Funeral Home offers a wide variety of caskets that can help you make your decision.
Your options include the material of the casket (e.g. bronze, copper, steel, stainless steel, mahogany, walnut, cherry, oak, maple, pecan, pine), but also interior options like the fabric, its color and personalized motifs. On the outside of the casket it is possible to further personalize the casket by adding custom corners or a memory safe drawer. |

 | In most areas of the United States, a cemetery requires the casket to be enclosed within a burial vault or grave liner. A burial vault is a sealed unit that is specifically engineered to support the weight of the earth above the grave as well as the heavy equipment that passes over it. The weight of the earth and heavy equipment used to dig the graves far exceeds what an unprotected casket can withstand.
Our Merchandise Selection Room provides samples of vaults and other outer burial containers for each family to preview and make their selection of choice. |
| Grave markers are available at our funeral home. Some cemeteries require that you use a grass marker, simply so that whomever maintains the cemetery can mow its lawn more easily. Markers are usually made of fine granite stone, and depending on size, color, engraving, embellishments, and how many sides that you want polished, the prices will vary. Our markers range can be customized to reflect the loved one who has died.

As is the case with markers, the price of monuments varies according to what you want it to look like. Monuments are made as a memorial to a family and indicates the section at which the family resides in the cemetery. It usually states the families last name, but each individual plot has either a head or foot stone with the individual's name on it. Our monuments range can be customized to reflect personal choices.
An almost unlimited number of choices in markers and monuments is available. You can select from different materials (marble, granite and bronze), styles (vertical tablets, horizontal tablets, bevel markers and slant markers), personalizations (modern techniques allow for an almost unlimited amount of possibilities), and additions (e.g. a photo or a vase). Our professional staff; can assist you with your selection of markers and monuments.
