Get Married at Wal Mart, Get Buried By Wal Mart...

Nothing says respect for the dead more than a casket from Wal Mart!

Wal-Mart starts selling caskets, urns online

Oct. 28, 2009 12:28 PM
Associated Press

BENTONVILLE, Ark. - The world's largest retailer wants to keep its customers even after they die.

Wal-Mart has started selling caskets on its Web site at prices that undercut most funeral homes, long the major seller of caskets.

The move follows a similar one by discount rival Costco, which also sells caskets on its site.

Wal-Mart quietly put up about 15 caskets and dozens of urns on its Web site last week.

Prices range from $999 for models like "Dad Remembered" and "Mom Remembered" steel caskets to the mid-level $1,699 "Executive Privilege." All are less than $2,000, except for the Sienna Bronze Casket, which sells for $3,199.

Caskets ship within 48 hours. Federal law requires funeral homes to accept third-party caskets.



"Shoot, I can make me a pine box for less than a hunert dollars."

To think that my body would spend the rest of it's time here on earth in a purchase from Wal-Mart. Perish the thought! (pun intended)

They'll probably be imported from China...well, at least we wouldn't have to worry about being bothered by the fumes, like the Chinese sheetrock lining the walls of so many American homes, 'cause we'd already be dead!

I think its pretty creepy to see coffins for sale in a normal store. I think they should leave the coffins to the funeral homes. Just seems weird to buy a coffin at wallmart...

They're only offering them online, so don't worry about the kiddies seeing them on the shelf anytime soon.

that might mean that get funeral services for ASDA (supermarket chain Wal-Mart own in UK).
n the UK the Co-Operative which have all sorts of services like food shops, banking have a funeral service so if it comes to the UK then there will be some competition in the funeral services.

Then the Chinese will truly bury the US. Toward the end of the process, Chinese workers will be outsourced to dig the holes too. Though that service might come included with the casket by then.

I'm pretty good at digging holes with straight sides. I used to work in a pet cemetary. (Man, I hated it when someone's beloved horse died!)

I'm strongly against seeing such things in the shops, as I try to stay positive and it may spoil the humour for the rest of the day...

My wife was toying with the idea of starting up an animals cemetery as there are none that I know of where we live. But I never thought someone's pet would so large. I always thought of parrots, cats and dogs.

I would say a pet cemetary would be a good investment. People become so attached to their pets they consider them to be their children, members of the family, for heaven's sake, some people even will millions of dollars to their pet!

The pet food and pet products industry is a multi-billion $ a year industry, there is definitely money in it, a lot of money.

Doesn't matter the state of the economy, people still spend money on their kids, and that includes their pets.

So I would tell you to go for it. Find a need and fill it! You could also create a lucrative sideline of monuments, placards, grave markers and other products people would want at the gravesite.

I just had a thought. Now that Wal Mart is selling caskets and urns, Jeff Foxworthy, Larry The Cable Guy, Ron White and Bill Engval can rest easy.

They can all go to Heaven without 'violatin' the code'...

Besides, Wal Mart can't sell them in the stores. Caskets are too darned big to fit in the shopping cart!

I think everyone's trying to survive in this hard times and this firm as well. This is the service they offer. Of course it's not the thing to be kept at home, but in case of emergency you can find it even on-line.

Pretty smart really. If one of us had thought of this 10 years ago we'd have been able to make some money but I'm not competing with Walmart...

Actually given funeral homes have been in a position to prey on those close to the departed for so long, it's refreshing to see somebody else break into the market.

Wont affect me either way, I already told my kids they'd be required to do one last home project in our standard fashion when I kick. They're gonna have to make mine out of whatever materials are on site at the time, and going to home depot for wood is cheating. I'll end up buried in rip-sawed fence posts or something. It'll work.
