Our History
In 1990, Jake Klassen had a dream to start his own casket company. To make an affordable alternative for families. Unfortunately at the time he didn’t have the means to see that dream come to fruition. But now, 30 years and 4 kids later, he finally gets to see that dream come to life. Jake never gave up on his dream, instead choosing to pass it on to his children, making Prairie Caskets a truly family owned and operated business. Two of his sons, Joshua and Jonathan, built the shop from the ground up, while his wife Sara and daughter Rebecca, took care of the admin responsibilities. Now, with a brand new shop and a hardworking family, Prairie Caskets is proud to be open for business.
