This company had an add on Craigslist for someone to deliver empty caskets from the local airport to funeral homes in the area. It was part time and seems perfect for my situation. I was trying to do some research to see if they were on the up and up. Craigslist adds make me kind of nervous. By chance, has anyone on here ever worked for them. From what I can find, they are out of Dallas. Did a google search but can't find any info on the delivery aspect of this company. Thanks as always for your help.
Has anyone ever delivered for Best Price Caskets?

They're a casket company that sells caskets for next-day or two-day delivery, so they'll ship them air cargo, you'd pick them up at the airport, and deliver them to the funeral home.
Frequently Asked Questions
1) How quickly can you get a casket to me? We can usually get a casket to you in 6-8 hours by airplane. We use 8 major airlines leaving out of DFW Airport (Dallas, Texas) to deliver it to an airport near you and then we get a hot-shot courier to pick it up from the airport and drop it off directly to the funeral home of your choice. DFW Airport has direct flights to over 160 USA airports.
Their sample pricing schedule as shown on Craigslist seems a little low to me. I'd offer up $50 plus $1 a mile with a $100 minimum.
The average funeral home only does about one funeral a week, so unless you live in a very populated area with a lot of funeral homes, and a lot of people are buying caskets online (which is THE way to get your casket, BTW), then you won't get rich delivering these things. But it might be a way to pick up some extra money (assuming you actually like going to Air Cargo at the airport).

I have hauled for caskets on line out of Dallas. No issues with them. Biggest pain is dealing with lazy air cargo folks
It's much more common these days as consumers try to avoid paying funeral home pricing which can be as much as 3x more then what it would cost to just buy the casket yourself. There are a few vendors online offering air shipping to consumers across the country. Express Casket LLC and yes Bestprice Caskets are a few of them.
