Big Grin Wal-Mart starts selling coffins
WTF !?!

if i've said it once , i've said it a hundred times.
you American folks are a strange bunch..

"so thats your juice, coleslaw, cold meats, and 6 pack. would you like a coffin with that? , we have a special offer on atm.. "

Quote:
The world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart, now plans to hold on to customers even after they die - by selling coffins.

Prices range from a "Mom" or "Dad Remembered" steel coffin for $895 (£540), to a bronze model at $2,899.

The retailer is allowing customers to plan ahead by paying for the caskets over 12 months for no interest. They can be dispatched within 48 hours.

Catering for cradle-to-grave needs, Wal-Mart already sells everything from baby wear to engagement rings.

A spokesman for the supermarket giant, Ravi Jariwala, said the new coffin range was "a limited beta test to understand customer response".

The retailer is offering caskets at prices that undercut many funeral homes, say correspondents.

But an industry spokesman said it was not gravely concerned about Wal-Mart's move because he said the firm could not offer bereaved families the human touch.

Pat Lynch, of the National Funeral Home Directors Association, told AP news agency: "There's no question in my mind as a funeral director for nearly 40 years that the most critical element is the human contact."

Re: Wal-Mart starts selling coffins
it makes sense if you think about it actually.
say you find out your wife's having an affair, so now you can buy the gun you'll use to shoot the bitch and the coffin to bury her in all at the same time
freaking genius!

Re: Wal-Mart starts selling coffins
They won't be stocking these in the stores..... It's for online purchase only.....


They want to cut back on returns, don't you know.....

Re: Wal-Mart starts selling coffins
Imagine the iCoffin with a built in iPod playing your favorite tunes to your dust. Of course when the battery stops accepting recharges your loved ones will have to take the product to a service center for refurbishment; where they are likely to get the wrong one back or the player filled with the wrong tunes so for the next 2-3 years your ghost will be listening to Amy Winehouse.
