Really?? Walmart has a "funeral" department?

So does Costco.
"Not sold in stores." No, I don't reckon they are! That is certainly not a product line I ever associate with my friendly neighborhood superstore.
Oh yeah, it has been going around for some time, I think I first heard about it a couple years ago......nothing new! However it is getting popular.
It is a special order. They will ship it to you. You will never find them in the stores directly.

well shoot-- with the rising cost of funerary services, I think this is an awsome idea. 
I just hope they aren't made in China with "assembly required"...if this stuff is anything like the cheap furniture they sell that falls to pieces if you breathe on it wrong-- I would hate to drop grandpa on the stairs while trying to load him into the car because the bottom of the casket fell out!

Move to Texas. Had a friend who was a licensed mortician. Here in Texas embalming is not required as long as you get the body into the ground quickly. You can be buried on your own property as long as you aren't in an incorporated area (read city). A casket and/or vault is not required. (i.e. Range law. Wrap it in a blanket and dig a hole. Yahoo!
)
Give some thought to where you want to put that "broken vessel" though. Once it's there it's nearly impossible to move legally. I can provide a picture of a few graves at the intersection of two multi-lane highways as proof.

$1000 for a coffin!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We paid £70 for my mother's coffin and as she was cremated spending more would have been wasteful and she would have hated that.
£ (British Pounds for those without a UK keyboard) indicates that you bought a coffin in the UK? They are usually much less fancy than those offered by Walmart. Brits don't go for the double lid and curved top. So I would expect them to be cheaper but you did well at £70.
I wonder what happens to coffins at crematoria. The bodies are burned together each day but are the coffins sold back to the funeral directors for resale as new?
