Questions About Payment Options

What forms of payment do you accept?

How long does it take for my item to be delivered?

Normally you will not have to sign for an item. If your item was a custom order, however, you will have to sign. If you are not present at the time of delivery, you can receive your item at the Post Office the day after the delivery was attempted.

I don't live in the United States, can you ship to me?
Sorry, we do not offer international shipping at this time. If the demand for this service increases, we may consider adding it in the future.

Questions About Cremation Urns

Am I allowed to use a cremation urn that wasn't purchased at a funeral home?
Yes, you are. The Federal Trade Commission developed a set of rules concerning funeral industry practices that went into effect on April 30, 1984. In these rules it is specifically stated that "the funeral provider may not refuse, or charge a fee, to handle a casket or cremation urn that you bought elsewhere."

How do I know what size urn to buy?
The general rule for cremation urn capacity is that for every pound a person weighed, you will need at least one cubic inch of volume. For example, our Allegheny cremation urns have a capacity of 255 cubic inches, which means they can hold the cremains of a loved one who weighed 255 pounds or less.

What can I expect back from the crematorium?
Usually, the crematorium will return to you a plastic bag or a cardboard box. If you receive a cardboard box, the cremains will likely be in a plastic bag inside the box. The cremains should be left in the plastic bag. If for any reason you need to remove the cremains from the bag, you must seal the urn with silicone.

How do I place cremains within the urn?
All of our cremation urns have fixed lids and removable bottoms. The bottom is attached with 4-6 brass screws, depending on the style, that are easily removed for cremains placement. If you wish to have the lid lift off of the cremation urn instead, please contact us and we can manufacture a custom urn that meets your needs.

Questions About Flag Cases

What size flag will fit in your case?
Our flag cases were designed to fit a 5' x 9' or 5' x 9 ½' burial, memorial, or internment flag. Smaller flags will still fit if they are "false folded". (The flag shown in the cases on this site is a false-folded 4' x 6' flag)
