Their markups are obviously a hell of a lot less than what you'd get dinged for at a funeral home. If they had decent looking models (i.e. that didn't look like a "Walmart" casket), I would have no shame in buying one and getting it shipped to the funeral home handling the arrangements. That is, if I don't do what a friend of mine did, and get buried in a cardboard box (handy for allowing friends to write farewell messages on before the burial).

Not that I go shopping for caskets much, but those seem to be good quality ones made in the US, by Star Legacy. They also provide caskets to Sears™.

I like the display cases they have for the veterans' flags and medals, but for a few sticks of wood and some glass, they are grossly overpriced. Shouldn't really cost much more than a nice picture frame of that size.

My favorite--just for the name!--was the "Executive Privilege" Steel Casket. :lol:

P.S. What, no Cadillac Coffin?

I've never understood that either; I guess you're paying for the huge ceremonial value :shrug

I'm donating my cadaver to science. No need to rot in the ground when I can still be useful! ;)

I've decided against dieing, I can't see the point in it.

Donation sounds like a good call; either that or cremation, but I've yet to decide where I want my ashes scattered.

Just about anything other than uselessly preserving my corpse and storing it like it's going to be good for something later. :?

That kind of thinking, just leads to... ZOMBIES!!! Image

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. However, what is wrong with donating any and all useful parts and then being cremated and having one's ashes scattered in one's favorite trout stream?

Just saying... 8-)

At what age do they decide your leftovers are useless and not worth the risk of transplant?

I need to know because at that point I'll donate my body to a dog food manufacturer.

Was that a shot JG? I am guessing that there are people that are qualified to make that determination. Depending upon the state of your organs.

OR, how would the entire donor / DMV sticker program work?

What? We would donate corneas from a blind man to one that could not see? FO~ AYEY?

Always thought caskets/coffins a waste of money, cardboard box and a tesco carrier bag will suit me just fine.

The cash you would have spent on my coffin (which would have been a fabulous one off, lined in purple satin etc etc) can then be spent on getting very drunk, dancing on tables and having a she was fabulous but now shes dead lets disco party!!


Can empty my ashes up where we got hitched. Tip em outta the carrier bag and into the wind!

You can also choose to have a tree grown from your ashes.
