| Unfortunately, most
of us will be faced with the responsibility of making funeral arrangements,
either planning ahead for ourselves, or at the time of need for a loved
one. Until recently, consumers were left with no alternative, other
than relying on a funeral home for their service and merchandise needs.
The late eighties and early nineties saw
an increasing death rate as our aging population began to cross the
threshold A landmark date for consumers was 1994 when the Federal Trade Commission amended its Funeral Rule. The resulting law prohibited funeral directors from charging a handling fee or penalizing the consumer in any way if they wished to exercise their right to freedom of trade by shopping for goods and/or merchandise at a place other than a funeral home! The change in law, coupled with the exorbitant pricing of many funeral homes paved the way for the new industry of casket retailing. ORION CASKETS ….THE DEFINING SOURCE Today, there are hundreds of retail casket locations throughout the United States and Canada; many are geared toward meeting the needs of their specific community. While many locations vary in size and product offerings, most are able to save consumers up to 40% - 70% off funeral home merchandise pricing. Orion Caskets has rapidly
grown to become North America’s defining source of inventory

mortality. Quite simply….death was becoming big business with
big profits! By the mid nineties, the cost of the average traditional
