CREEPY

[threeplusfire]

Apparently you can buy your casket at Wal-Mart now.

Seriously.

This one has a nice Our Lady of Guadalupe on it.

I once went along for funeral planning for a relative. The display room of caskets was by far the most unsettling part. There was one in a lime disco green, as well as several child size coffins. Warranty placards were displayed on top of several caskets. I muttered something to myself about why the hell anyone buys a ten year warranty on a casket and the exceedingly ghoulish and heavily made up assistant told me "Oh honey, you'd be surprised."

Consider this my public request to never ever ever put me in some kind of hideous expensive, warrantied box and buried. Please don't.

Ever seen The Loved One, with Liberace as a coffin salesman...?

My god - the thought sends chills. Perhaps I should rent it as my scary movie for the weekend.

Wal-Mart, satisfying all your needs from cradle to grave.

AUGH WHY

I don't know! But I can't believe people are writing reviews of it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Looks like that honor is still officially available -- there's a cheery link stating "YOU can be the FIRST to review this item". Tempting.

Presumably you rejected some poor sod's review for naughty bits?

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Yeah - they hadn't actually purchased it. But I did get a couple of the Q&A submissions.

Costco sells em, too. Apparently they come not fully assembled. WTF ASSEMBLE YOUR OWN CASKET. I was wondering if they came in multipacks....

And I guess you can store them in your garage until the dirt nap comes. Hey, it's a great place for all those LPs you never play anymore and your grade-school drawings and your unstrung tennis rackets....

Classic. Rest in peace, knowing that you saved money at Wal-Mart.

So you can buy a gun AND a casket at Wal Mart? That's what I call cornering the market. Damn.

Ugh. This reminds me of the time I saw caskets at Costco a few years ago. A seriously WTF moment. Death's gone corporate.

It seems odd, until you look at the price comparisons.
