Nothing new here, except for wider availability, as Costco has been selling caskets for a couple years or so now for about the same prices.

It’s a casket, Steve. Will it matter if the paint has lead?

That is sad and ditto on the cremation, so much cheaper all around (plot, burial, etc.).
My dad is a music pastor and I can’t imagine having to trim the number of songs during a funeral but most that I’ve been to are held in the church the person attended or lives near.

I saw this on an episode of the BBC show “Dragon’s Den” where people will seek out investors for their products, development, marketing, etc from “Dragons”.

THAT’s a Wal-Mart product.

Martha, I don’t have your email address to point you over to this blog where you may want to make a comment so hopefully Michael will allow this TOTALLY off-topic comment.

Michael Patten has posted a blog challenging the Pope to be clearer on Genesis. You give such great answers to Catholic things here, Martha. I thought you may want to respond there too. Good luck if you do! If you don’t know Michael Patten, he is very familiar to Michael Spencer and has been one of the men to answer Michael’s questions given to groups of priests/ministers.

Michael, if this goes to your comments to be moderated because of the link, could you please just email this to Martha for me? Thanks!

I’m sure missing parts can be ordered on-line.

Caskets made in China? If they’re anything like clothing, they’ll run a bit small. Will they have lead paint issues?

Joanie,

I don’t remember seeing prices. However, I first stumbled across their add in a copy of Mother Earth News, and environmentalist/ agrarian/ simple living type magazine. I think they were advertising their caskets as a “simpler,” more affordable alternative. That they are beautiful doesn’t hurt .
