Bargain Caskets?

[c.n.budz]

Anyone else find it a bit disturbing that costco has this section on their website?

I can picture it now:
Wife- "Honey, I'm going to costco for some groceries"

Husband- "Granny died, you wanna pick up a coffin while your there?"

I started out school to become a funeral director. The markups on caskets always make me grin.

One of the funnieast short sets I have ever seen

I like the category - caskets expedited. No rush , we can wait, the weather is still a liitle cool in the north east.

Awesome! Can you pre order them for future need?

And please expedite that. Granny is taking up a lot of space in the cooler & I have some Apfelwine that needs to be racked.

One would make a great kegerator

LOL - that is good.

If you are planning a funeral and you meet with the director, one of your options is a rental. They replace the lining between uses - it gets used a lot for cremations.

I knew someone that threw a party and used child caskets as coolers.

discount for bulk?

Odd that they would be able to be sold by Costco.

Last I remember casket sales were a closed business...meaning there are only a few suppliers and others aren't allowed to sell them.

What if you don't want to pay for the cremation? Can you just rent the casket for the funeral and then have them dump the carcass.. erm I mean beloved relative straight into the ground afterwards?

I don't give a crap what happens to my body. Sell it at Costco if you think you can get a buck.

I've always thought the Viking Funeral Pyre would be a cool way to go out

I searched the forum, I thought for sure someone had a designed a DIY casket.

I figured Bobby would've had a How-To Video on YouTube by now...

I'm thinking something like Weekend at Bernie's. At least I can freak a few people out after I'm gone...

The FAQ section is hiarious:

First Question...
"Q: Why is Costco Wholesale selling caskets?

As a service to our members. "

I thought they were selling them because they wanted their members to die.


Further Down....

"Q: Can you order a casket for preplanning purposes?

Yes, as long as the casket is being shipped to a member's home or storage facility of choice. The order will ship within the stated delivery parameters on the site. However, due to regulations and restrictions, we cannot hold on to any orders for future delivery. "

....Husband comes home with caskets. Wife says, "How long are we going to have to keep these things in the garage????"

Husband mutters under his breath, "Not very long for one of them..."

Wife, "What honey?"

Husband, "Oh, nothing...."
