WaveDukeFan -- I don't have any ideas on Duke caskets, but I do have loads and loads of positive thoughts and vibes headed towards you and your family. I hope the Duke family here can help you with your search.

How about draping a Duke flag on the casket?

I like the idea of draping a flag on the casket.

I join DA in sending vibes and prayers your way. Spend as much time as you can with your dad, enjoy the memories you have made together, and cheer for Duke with him in mind.

Have just been through this with my surviving parent. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I wholeheartedly agree with the flag idea. However, my uncle had grander ambitions for his final resting place. Although I could not attend the funeral, am told he was laid to rest in this casket.

My dad ('47) passed away in 1992 (he got to see both championships!) We pinned a "LOVE DUKE" pin to his lapel.

We dressed him in a duke warm up jacket with a duke tie.had to nix the flag due to the American flag being on there.so i slipped a duke fathead under the flag.
