Do you want to be buried in a Walmart casket?

Recommended Posts

I've told my wife bury me in the cheapest coffin possible. Anything else is just throwing money down a home. Costco also has caskets starti g at $999.99. I would be happy with a simple pine box and my pillow.


The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

When my dad passed, several years ago, I asked the guy at the funeral home about a 'pine box'. My dad had always said to just bury him in a 'pine box'. The price tag on the 'pine box' the funeral home showed us was right-up there with the oak, mahogany, walnut and etc. We settled on the 'pine box'. :)As far as I'm concerned, they can bury me in whatever they want... I won't have much say in it!;)

you know, if you really wanted to save money on a casket, build your own! How hard can it be? Some plywood and 2x4 framing, a couple of hinges and a latch, and rope handles for the pall-bearers. Then keep it in the garage or basement until your time comes. Can't cost much more than $100 in supplies.

My dad once built a casket for a school play that my brother acted in.

Hinges and latch? WTF for .. are you planing on coming back out again?

Good point, that was what my dad used, but it was for a play.

Nails work just fine.

A Walmart casket might be better than the cheapest thing that the industry has to offer right now. I buried my mother on Monday and opted to upgrade the casket from the FELT covered particle board bottom-of-the-line option. I didn't spend a lot on the casket I got, but really . . . the cheapest thing is a little scary. I even saw an option for a "rental" liner. I don't know what that meant and I don't want to know.

Since you don't want to know, read no further. For those that want to see my speculation, position your cursor here, and click & drag downward to reveal the hidden message.

I'm guessing that means that they'll have a nice fluffy liner for the viewing, but then they remove it before they close it up for good. And then go rent it to someone else...
