To quote the article: "All the caskets cost less than $2,000, with the exception of the Sienna Bronze Casket, which sells for $3,199. Prices range from $999 for models like 'Dad Remembered' and 'Mom Remembered' steel caskets to the mid-level $1,699 'Executive Privilege.'"

    That's no worse than costco selling caskets at their exits. They even have sample portions of the caskets so you can see what they'll look like. I saw an old lady shopping for her own once. She must have saved a bundle with her costco card.

    why does it matter where you buy it? They all look the same when they are covered in dirt

      Mmm. You're making me hungry. I'm sure it'll go down a treat. Now I want to eat myself.

      Yum...(DaniG spits out chunky part...)

      lol! Be careful not to choke on a splinter of my pelvic bone! We don't want another one dying because of me. And then your family has to get a casket at Walmart...
    6. DaniG
      Another one? You mean, I wouldn't be the FIRST?
      (DaniG chokes...)

      Nooooooo! Another gain for Walmart. Stop dying and making another casket sale for Walmart, damn it!

      Whew! You had me scared for a minute there. First DB tortures me, now THIS!!!

      I think Walmart caskets are a waste. I think taxidermy is the way to go. There was some guy who stuffed a coyote clinging to the back of his truck. I think there could be some imaginative poses for people to strike. Then, you could park 'em in the living room with all the antlers. Hahaha!!!

      Wow! What a great idea. I'd love to see some of the BC members' heads up on my wall. With their beady, plastic eyes staring back at me.

      It's a waste of money if you ask me. I am being cremated and ashes thrown in the mountains... so if your close by, don't yawn...lol

      Haha! That's funny Armywife!

    I guess that I am lucky to have two casket companies near buy. One just down the road and the other about 20 minuets from here. Their trucks run up and down the road here at all times. I can have a friend make me one. I also met someone that slept in one every night and said they were comfortable. The kicker is I met him a a church camp my mom sent me to every year.
    1. aspotofblog
      Wow. So you're basically surrounded by death.
    2. amybyrd21
      They several casket factories in this area. I know that they have the two but there are more. I have friends and relatives that work at the two. I do not want that for a job that would suck

      What Walmart and COSTCO?

    It seems to make a lot more sense to me just to take some wood, drive some nails in, and shove the body in, just like in the good ole days. Grave memorial matters more then caskets anyways - people will actually be able to see it, and the wooden casket doesn't look bad provided it's made the day before. Although I will say, "Dad Remembered," "Mom Remembered" being the cheapest caskets in the store is absolutely hilarious.
