CASKETS
Koch Funeral Home offers a full size selection room where you are able to choose and inspect the exact casket you will
be purchasing. If you can not find the exact casket you wish to purchase on our selection room floor we offer customers the
option of ordering from Batesville Casket Company’s catalog. They are our primary provider of caskets and their distribution
center can accommodate us with next day delivery (except Sunday) of any in-stock casket at no additional charge.
Photos shown are of caskets with half couch lids and are not available through our Batesville distribution center for next
day delivery. Only full couch caskets are available for next day delivery, half couch caskets may take three days to deliver.
These half couch casket photos are used to allow you to see the look of the casket opened at one end and the look of the casket
if it were closed at the other end.
