Military Caskets

The Military Casket Collection: Defining Your Loved One’s Honorable Resting Place

Choosing the right casket is an important part of creating an honorable resting place for your loved one. Military caskets pay tribute to those who have served in the United States armed forces. You can find military casket designs for any branch. 

Families often choose military caskets when they want a loved one’s service reflected clearly in the design. Depending on the model, that may include a branch emblem, veteran-themed embroidery, or a flag-inspired tribute detail. Some shoppers want a distinctly military design, while others prefer a simpler casket that still fits a veteran tribute service. This collection includes both options, and you can shop all caskets if you want to compare a broader range of styles.

Military Casket Options: Style, Size, and Design

Military caskets come in both half-couch and full-couch options. Half-couch caskets are more common, since the top portion opens to reveal your loved one’s upper half. This allows for respectful viewing, and the head panel can showcase your loved one’s branch symbol. 

Caskets are typically made from one of two materials: steel or wood. Steel caskets are highly polished and very durable, withstanding the test of time. Their sleek finishes offer a bright and reflective look. In steel caskets, a lower gauge number means thicker steel. Because thicker steel generally costs more to produce, 16-gauge or 18-gauge options are often priced higher than 20-gauge models. 

Wood caskets offer a more traditional, natural appearance. Families often choose them for the warmth of the finish and the classic look they bring to the service.

You can choose specific woods and finishes that give the casket the final look you want. Glossy finishes give the casket a polished look, but semi-gloss or matte options can be just as timeless and beautiful. These lower-profile finishes allow the natural wood colors to shine through. 

Military caskets are available in standard and oversized sizes. The right fit depends on your loved one’s height and build, and Solace can help you choose the best size before ordering if you need guidance.

You can honor your loved one best by balancing all of your considerations: military tribute, desired appearance, and budget.

Easy Online Ordering With Funeral Home Delivery 

You are not limited to the funeral home’s in-house selection when choosing a military casket. Buying online gives families more flexibility to compare tribute styles, materials, and pricing while still arranging direct delivery to the funeral home. For many families, online shopping also means clearer pricing and lower costs than traditional purchase paths. Instead of choosing from a limited local selection under time pressure, you can compare options and costs more carefully before placing an order.

However, we don’t compromise on quality. Our team takes pride in conducting in-depth quality assurance checks before each casket is sent off. You can choose to be present for the casket’s delivery and inspect it before the funeral, but this isn’t required for on-time delivery. 

We coordinate all of the shipping logistics with your funeral home. If you have general questions about ordering, delivery, or funeral home acceptance, you can also review the Help Center before placing your order. You can rely on us for timely delivery and quality guarantees to make the process as easy as possible during this difficult time.
