3. A coffin from a funeral home

Next on our list of things you can rent is a coffin. This is a thing that is most definitely used only once. Since the average retail price for a casket goes from $2,000 up to $10,000, coffin rentals can be a big money-saver.

Most funeral homes will charge about $1,000 to rent a casket, but keep in mind that salespeople don’t always tell customers that the service is available. After all, their top priority is to sell. This being said, you may need to ask them if they offer any rental options.

When a customer rents the coffin for a loved one, a wooden box is placed inside so it holds the body in the interior of the casket. The box is ultimately lowered into the ground, and the coffin can be rented again.
