Guarantee

I build my coffins to carry up to 250 lbs. Should the deceased exceed this weight, it is the buyer’s responsibility to make that known to me before I begin building the coffin.

Unless notified prior to building, I build all my coffins to fit within a standard thirty inches wide vault. It is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm the coffin will fit the liner. A funeral director or retail casket seller can help you purchase an oversized vault.

A coffin not being used for immediate cremation or burial needs the same care as a piece of fine furniture. Wood is subject to changes from climatic conditions. Changes in temperature and humidity bring on stresses that cause shrinking, swelling, warping and cracking. Avoid extreme or rapid changes in temperature and humidity, keep coffin away from sources of heat such as heaters and fireplaces, and protect the coffin from direct sunlight. Coffin kits should be stored flat. Bert & Bud’s Vintage Coffins assumes no responsibility for damages caused by neglect or improper care or storage. It is recommended that the crated coffin should be placed in the space where it will reside for at least 24 hours before it is taken from the crate.

All my coffins and urns are built to order one at a time. Completion takes 10 days to several weeks, depending on the complexity of design and construction. I require a non-refundable start-up deposit of one-third the price of the coffin or urn before I order materials and begin building. If for any reason the order must be cancelled, including the early death of the person for whom the coffin is being built, the deposit will be forfeited.

Bert & Bud’s Vintage Coffins accepts no liability beyond refund of the purchase price
for damages incurred through use of our products. It is the buyer’s obligation to purchase insurance to cover any damages sustained to your coffin in transit. Crating/shipping charges for returned coffins are the responsibility of the buyer.

This guarantee is valid for 30 days after delivery or receipt of the coffin. No guarantees are made regarding protection of cadavers, or the life or condition of coffins after interment under ground or in a mausoleum or crypt.

This agreement is governed by Kentucky law.
