Getting back to Retail casket store options
Getting back to Retail casket store options and whether the brick and mortar casket store is the answer as we move into the future for individuals and families in North Carolina NC trying to get low wholesale pricing on caskets. There are currently only a few brick and mortar retail casket stores operating in North Carolina. At the time of this article I was not aware of any brick and mortar retail Casket store locations still operating in the Winston Salem, NC, Greensboro, NC, High Point, NC – North Carolina Area. There have been a number of Retail casket store locations in the area over the years that have opened and closed. Why have these brick and mortar retail casket stores failed to stay in business over the years when there seems to be a definite need for families to get low, wholesale pricing on caskets in North Carolina?

- A retail brick and mortar casket store can offer caskets at a reduced price compared to the high price of caskets that are found at a Funeral Home. It is true that the retail casket store can offer caskets at reduced wholesale prices. However, due to the high price of the overhead of a brick and mortar location, these casket stores often can not offer nearly as deep discounts as Carolina Quality Caskets in NC or some of the other Online casket retailers.
- A retail brick and mortar casket store can offer a comfortable non-pressured environment where the family can make a confident choice about the casket for their passed family member. The quality of this non-pressured comfortable buying experience at a retail casket store will be directly influenced by the quality of its employees and their experience.

Advantages to the brick and mortar retail casket store
With all these advantages to the brick and mortar retail casket store, Why have there been so many that have not stayed open? There are a few reasons that seem to jump out as to why these retail casket stores have struggled to stay open.
- The first is that expenses for these retail casket stores are not kept low enough and are incurred too fast to sustain the kind of low wholesale casket pricing that is required in order to offer the public such a savings that they consider the retail casket store option valuable. In order for a Family to feel it is worth leaving a funeral Home and visiting a retail casket store, they have to expect that they are going to be offered a comparable quality casket at less than half the price offered at the funeral Home. The reality of it is that for the casket store to be considered worthwhile, they need to be offering a quality casket at less than half of the price that the family has found at the Funeral Home. Often the start up expense of the building and the staff is too high for the retail casket store to offer wholesale casket pricing low enough to make success probable.
- The second reason that retail casket stores often can not offer wholesale casket prices low enough to ensure their success may be that they are unable to afford to buy the quantities that they need to buy in order to be able to offer their customers a price low enough, and still stay in business. A retail casket store often has trouble finding venders and factories that will provide a quality casket. These sources often are hesitant to sell their product to a retail casket store that will be competing with the funeral Homes that also purchase from them. The factories that can offer a quality made product and are willing to sell to these retail casket stores, often require the purchase of large quantities of product to receive any decent wholesale pricing that can be passed on to North Carolina families. The retail casket store starting up is often unable to afford the type of quantities required in order to be able to offer the low wholesale casket pricing that is needed and can be passed on to their customers.
- Another problem facing the starting retail casket store in North Carolina is being limited to relying on approximately a fifty-mile radius of customers to come into their store and purchase their caskets. Depending on customers to come to your showroom and purchase from the immediate area that the retail casket store is located is often a mistake. The funeral Homes in a given area also are more likely to feel intruded upon and direct strategies towards the retail casket store in their location to try and force them to close.
