You can Buy just about Anything at Walmart

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).

What's to stop you from doing that on any other casket?

[Scooter]

Nothing, I suppose, but it's easier to write on flat surfaces made of paper than on a wooden or steel casket. Plus, on a regular casket it would seem like you were defacing something valuable. When it was done at my friend's funeral, you could see all of these messages written on the wihite cardboard in different colored pens, and it looked sort of like the inside of a greeting card that all his friends had signed for him.

[Crackpot]

valuable? it has a rotting corpse innside!

And sharpies come in different colors

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).

Why can’t one build their own casket; I mean before you die of course. If you could build it after you died then perhaps you wouldn’t need it.

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

That's what the Hatch said she wanted to do with me.

As she still loses her jewelry, I am not particularly sold on the idea yet.

The most interesting coffins in the world. For cheap.

If they don't have something off the rack I'd bet they'll make it to order:

...a tribute to what killed him?

[Jarlaxle]

I'm happy with a pine box

Actually...if I'm dead, I don't give a damn. Take my organs & throw the rest out with the trash for all I care.

[rubato]

I'll have to leave something for all the women who will be tearing their hair with grief; some little thing they can do to assuage their pain. Maybe I'll let them make a small mausoleum? Nothing too fancy. Granite, a view of Monterey Bay, understated, yet an inspiration to those who follow. Someplace the teenagers can sneak into to smoke pot at night.

[Sean]

I've already given my funeral plans to SMF. She is trying to source a gun carriage and horses with black plumes. She is not, however, so keen on the part where she hurls herself into the open grave through sheer grief...

[Gob]

Not going for a pyre for her to hurl herself on? That's kind of you.

[Sean]

I'm all heart!
