I thought what I would do is wait til I'm almost dead, or mostly dead. Then I'll go to WalMart and charge the box...errr... casket. Then, I'll die and not have to pay the bill! That doesn't sound very ethical, does it?

Yeah DLL, they had a story on my local news about Wallyworld and the caskets last night....hey, yanno it's not such a bad idea after I think about it.  I mean, how many people were being forced to pay HIGH costs for caskets when only funeral parlors had the monopoly on the casket thing.  Now that it is law to accept 3rd party caskets..maybe the pricing will be more compteitive.

Today on the news they brought up about Walmart selling caskets (as does Costco) and said that there is a law so that Funeral Parlors must accept 3rd party caskets. Hearing them say party and caskets gave me a visual of them being used with ice to hold the refreshments.

Just to show you guys how much I DON'T care what happens to my body after I die, I've left in our will that my heart be cremated- my hubby put it in the urn I bought for 75% off from a funeral home going out of business-owner was retiring-and the rest of my body be donated to the University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility-in other words my body is going to a body farm after I die.

I requested and filled out the proper paperwork from the university late last year and had our will updated to include my request.

I know it sounds morbid to some people but I really don't think I'll need this body in the afterlife.



It doesn't sound morbid at all. I think we are too uncomfortable discussing death, confronting our own mortality, so we don't want to have our bodies desecrated when in fact, there's nothing to stop the slow decay anyway. So I think it's a great idea what you've done. How lovely to be able to help others even after you've moved on to the land of autos that always work.

My friend lost his step mother and father within a month of each other. I was shocked to learn all the cremation details and that people actually spend a small fortune on a box to be cremated in. What's the point?
When my mother died I learned that all of San Diego is zoned not to have anything considered a fire hazard and so they take the body to Los Angeles for cremation and the "remains" are returned to the funeral parlor that sent them off. This meant special fees but it also make me aware that there are dead bodies being transported in traffic every day. Yet another reason to hate So Cal traffic.

By the way, since most of us are cheaters (in pogoland), does that mean we are going to hell?  hysterical.gif  I mean we already "crossed over to the dark side".  Even if we did get enticed by the cookies, are we gonna burn for all eternity?   Inquiring minds wanna know....I am just sayin'....

WOW..all I gotta say is wow.....seems kinda creepy knowing that Walmart is selling caskets and urns. 

My mom and dad have all their stuff prepaid for including their mausoleum crypt, opening and closing, etc....but yanno, if the place that sold me my casket is out of business by the time I croak, I would hate to think that I am (will be) SOL. 

I am like the rest of you...don't need a big whoop de doo when I pass on, just put me somewhere where I can rot in peace.  I know the soul goes somewhere....depending on your beliefs, but whether I am ashes in an urn or a rotting corpse in a casket makes me no matter.

Thinking I was doing my family a favor to lessen things at that time, I bought a service where they covered all the processes to get ashes dusted over the surf at sea. Unfortunately the company went bankrupt 10 years ago and we were all informed that we were out of luck. I have since joined The Neptune Society of San Diego. My son is a Medical Examiner here in town and we got a hefty "professional discount" when my mother recently died. I don't know how many per family before they start investigating us.

Good question. Don't want to attract too much attention, ya know.
