Walmart To Sell Caskets
BBC NEWS | Business | Wal-Mart starts selling coffins

I really don't think this is gonna be a big deal. Although, I would fear the coffin falling apart while being carried by the pallbearers.

costco has been selling them for years, I don't see what the big deal is.

the fact that the funeral industry is so rife with dirty dealing and price gouging, means that additional competition can only help those who are grieving.

A little bit of competition will not hurt anyone at this point. After all, a lot of small towns only have one funeral home and thus there is no competition to get a better price on a casket. Of course, I don't see why they have to be so fancy anyway.

As far as them falling apart, as long as it gets me to the actual grave, I could care less.

The big deal is that Wal-Mart is evil. I mean, being buried in a Wal-Mart casket must be bad afterlife-juju.

When you buy a Costco casket do have to buy a two pack? Or is the casket just way bigger than what you really need?

While buying them from Costco or Walmart may seem a little weird, it can't be worse than this....

I guess that depends on how you discount its useful life.
