SHIPPING & DELIVERY
*UPDATE*. To keep up with rising material and fuel increases, as of May 2021, standard ground shipping costs throughout the continental US are calculated by destination. Please see the map below for more information.
Call or email us to place your order, discuss shipping and delivery, and terms of payment. We will e-mail you with the payment instructions. Payment options are a bank draft (no fee), and credit card (add a 3.5% convenience change), Zelle, and Venmo. If you prefer, cash and traditional checks are also accepted; if so, we will provide the mailing address at the time of the order. For more information, please see the Frequently Asked Questions.

In most cases, we suggest a lead time of at least two weeks. The turn-around time ultimately depends on the complexity of the design, the number of current orders, and various shipping factors. Please note that we always have a backlog of current orders.
Of course, we understand the immediate need for such an item. God does not give us a "two weeks notice" when He restores a soul to His Kingdom. In this case, we can offer what we have in process at that time, though selection and prices will be limited. Typically however, an immediate need takes priority in our order 'queue', and we will do our best to deliver your order as quickly as possible. For those with longer term pre-orders, we thank you for your patience and understanding!
The best plan is for the church or local funeral home to have a coffin on-hand, stored in a dry place, ready for when the need arises. In this way, the church community will be prepared to fulfill its ministry to bury its brothers and sisters. This also alleviates much stress and uncertainly when a loved one leaves this world.
*UPDATE* - June 2022
With a recent increase in rush orders and accruing backlog, as well to make it fair for those who pre-order, we’ve made the decision to add a 10% fee for rush orders that are less that the standard two week timeframe. This accounts for the additional 'overtime' hours needed to finish the work and ship it out as quickly as possible.
As always we do our best not to decline an order (no matter how quickly the turnaround), if it is in any way possible to fulfill it. We appreciate your flexibility, patience, and understanding.
Nationwide delivery, coast to coast, is handled by standard freight shipping, and can take up to a week (business days), depending on the destination. If rush shipping is needed, we will calculate an estimate of these costs for you at the time of the order. Expedited shipping costs are based on current freight shipping rates. Generally, it is best to make arrangements as early as possible. For details, call us at (336) 978-5385 or e-mail.
We will ship directly to a funeral home, residence or church. Please provide the name, address and phone number of the recipient. You may also have the recipient contact us to make delivery arrangements.
