When I think about pre-ordering one of these and storing it in my basement, I can't avoid having a vision of the Munsters.
That's a pretty good buy, and you avoid the huge funeral director mark up. I'm thinking it would make a good stereo cabinet in the meantime. I wonder if it is iPod compatible?
In for 5!
@jferry2: mother's day and father's day is coming up... two for your parents and two your significant others? Who's the 5th for...? ;)
I'd sooner build a trebuchet and launch a corpse far away than waste money on something like this.
Getting one for our guest bedroom without a bed. All it needs is a pillow and an old, stained throw blanked to complete illusion that I am part of the undead and that guests shouldn't stay long.
A deal to die for?
I'm thinking - AWESOME Halloween decoration between now and the time I need it. I wonder if there is any research about people who have these in the basement - do they die earlier? Live longer? Worry more or less?
@globalhavoc: Your logic is similar to that of the authorities in Oregon who attempted to use dynamite to rid themselves of a dead beached whale...
Where do you ship it when filled?
@thewidup: Good one!!!!
The one who makes it doesn't use it, the one who buys it doesn't want it, and the one who uses it doesn't know it...
Is it dignified to purchase a coffin on a clearance sale off the web?
I don't know. Costco has metal caskets for $1300.
@globalhavoc: I had to look up what a trebuchet is. Interestingly, my funeral/remains request is that my wife sets my body on fire and catapults my flaming corpse into the next town over. I have seriously told her this many times as well as promised to haunt her if she doesn't comply.
why in the world are any of us even looking at this thing, lol? Just put me in a balsam box, don't embalm me & let me feed the worms!!
@colbytitus: I dont know.. I'm allergic to most metals. They give me a rash. ;)
"Don't be fooled by veneer laminates when you go to purchase your casket - get only the best wooden caskets..."
It's...a...box.
Laminates isn't the big problem- spending $1K + for a box in the ground that, barring unforeseen infections, you'll never see again.
Burn me, till me in somewhere, party on the rest of the insurance money. I promise, I won't care.
@dnlkolender: I'm donating everything usable and torching the rest.. well, those are my wishes anyway. Cant say I'll have much involvement in the decision making process when the time comes. lol.
I am pretty sure nothing I leave behind will be usable in anyone else LOL I intend on having everything worn out completely
Going for the Cremation and storage in a 50.00 Tupperware container with a pink Lid, Black Lid for the first year so they all know my husband is in Morning for me. There is a little clear space so they know I am in there!
It is what Every Tupperware Lady dreams of I guess~!
Here ya go if you want a cheaper option LOL
Think I'll sleep sitting up tonight.
Leaving this existence with solid hardwood. Can't think of a better way! :)
