Casket Shopping At Walmart

Casket Shopping At Walmart

Looking for caskets at Walmart, now you never have to leave until…

Good to see you DT--are you feeling a bit ghoulish?

I told the doctor today I did not like brain surgery.

She said,"How strange! Everyone else just loves it."

Hi Alice. I just thought of one more area that giant business is trying to take over. If it can be stocked in a warehouse and shipped, they want the business, never mind everything else that goes along with it. I wonder if they have certified service providers like Tirerack.com has tire installers.

DT..

It's true what you say. I remember seeing a segment on 60 Mins.
years ago about the funeral industry, they showed how the funeral
industry works in the USA and how in Europe you go into a large
supermarket style place, pick out what you want and need and no
one bothers you. Here in the USA funeral directors try to give you a
guilt trip, example: When my mother passed away 20 years ago the
funeral director took me downstairs to look at coffins, the first one he
showed me he said: " This is our Cardinal line $4,500-, I may have been
upset about my Mother's death but I wasn't stupid, I said: " My Mother
wasn't a Cardinal nor a Nun, thank you."

Cheers..Joe

...remains to be seen.

It is a strange business. I'm opting for cremation (took a long time to accept the idea - I was always afraid they might light the fire before I was really dead - as if I was going to rise up from a coffin - ).

Mother has a family plot in Michigan; I told my brother to bury some ashes there so it won't be a total loss...

I think a casket might be a good idea for Home Depot. Build you own on. They might even offer a "lay- away" plan.

I can just see some poor old soul labouring at assembling their casket and finally after struggling with hinging the heavy lid they fall in dead with exhaustion.

Perhaps they will send these kits to old folks homes as a form of occupational therapy.

I heard about a coffin that could serve as a dining room table until it was needed.

How festive!

Build your own, lol. Perfect concept for a DIY place like Home Depot!

Caskets are archaic. They take up too much room and cost alot. I want to be scattered on our favorite camping and canoeing lake.

No services either. I agree with Dick when it comes to funeral services.
