Kinja'd!!!

Here for my aunt’s viewing. I was searching for the Mens’ Room and stumbled onto the showroom. This is the mahogany coffin: $5700. Toast me and scatter the crumbs, please.

I just went through this with my mom. It’s a numbing experience.

If anyone spends that much on my burial, I will come back to eat their brains.

“Sure, you can buy the basic coffin. But this deluxe model has XM satellite radio, a wine bar, and stitched leather. Don’t you love your mother?”

I’m ok with being stuffed in the old box for the flat screen tv

I’m going to specify cremation and a Kirkland coffee can in my will... Give the thousands in savings to my kids or the ASPCA or the Studebaker museum or ANYthing more worthwhile than a pretty box to rot with me in the ground.

$5,700 isn’t even one of the expensive ones

The markup on those things is crazy, up to 500% over wholesale. In most states, you need a special license to sell them, so there’s just no way to get around it.

Fortunately for us, my grandparents shopped around a lot and bought their caskets while they were still alive.

Ditto. I’m going to be dead already, It’s not like I am going to be able to tell the difference. I also don’t want to take up a 4x8 plot of land for 500 years for somebody to dig me up. Grill me good.

when my dad died, we had a look in the showroom

the idea of a “showroom” for caskets is just plain weird to me

The Funeral industry is on the same moral level as Trump Enterprises

Too well. I’m going to have my ashes dropped into Trinity Lake, California. In a brown paper bag with a few rocks to make it sink. And Chet Atkins playing on the boombox.

You can cremate me in that box, TYVM. Drop my ashes in the lake in a brown paper sack.

The company was much better in the other room. And Aunt Ruth was there in a small box with Uncle Don. No corpses.

My instructions are very precise: Heavy brown paper grocery bag, doubled. An inch or so of shale or pea gravel in the bottom, ashes poured in on top. Bag rolled up and the entire thing tied around with jute twine. Parcel dropped into Trinity lake, out in the deep part, where the best view of the Trinity Alps is found. Boom box plays Space Oddity, then Blackstar, then a Chet Atkins playlist. People eat lots of food and have a swim and laugh a lot and hug each other and remember what a pain in the ass Matt was.
