The casket was beautiful and just as presented in the picture. There were last minute snags that kept the experience from being perfect: the casket was delayed in Atlanta after a shipping mishap caused the airline to remove the casket from the scheduled flight and build a special shipping container for it. And then Overnight Caskets could not find a delivery service to pick up the casket at the airport and transport to the funeral home (check with your funeral director. Many will not provide this service.) I had to find my own "guy with a pick up truck" at the last minute. I found this stressful and unpleasant in addition to the anxiety of other funeral arrangements. "Overnight" ended up being about 3 days in transit. Not good.
