Cav,

If your intentions are to be cremated then you would rent a casket for the funeral. That's what we did when my mother passed away many years ago.
 
Along this line of nonsense.. a few years back when I worked for TWA and the Vietnam war was going strong, we would get a number of soldier remains almost every night. The always arrived with the casket in a grey wooden box. On certain flights, the boxes would not fit through the doors of the cargo area, so the caskets were lifted out and placed in a canvas bag.

We had a couple irreverant idiots that got the idea to get inside one of the boxes and tow it around the airport. They pulled into the airport mail facility where the guy in the box opened the lid, raised up and just looked around, then dropped the lid. It took the supervisors almost half an hour to get the mail sorters back out on the dock and back to sorting mail. I think we missed a couple of flights with some mail that night.:laugh::laugh:
 
Among other businesses, I have an interest in a wood casket business. That looks like a pretty good deal as long as it doesn't have too many scratches and nicks. We don't make presentation caskets with creamation liners, but they sell for several hundred dollars. After the viewing the body along with the liner is removed for cremation. A new liner is inserted and it is ready to use again.

Unlike wood pens, I've never had a customer return a wood casket after several weeks or months because it cracked.
 
"...as long as it doesn't have too many scratches and nicks."

Why all of a sudden am I conjuring images of zombies...? :hypnotized:
 
If it were in my area.... I'd buy it!!! What a way to save my family some money later on!!!

Besides, in the meantime I could make a bbq smoker out of it. Dead Pig Smokin!!!

Some friends were part of a Talladega group, they parked their RVs in the same place in the infield every year and had a big party, some of them even saw part of the race some years. They built a Dale Sr. cooler out of a casket they had lined with foam and mounted on a trailer. It had the number 4 painted on and looked a little like his car, it held a lot of beer too. It wasn't funny anymore after he was killed in a wreck so they retired it to a garage. The last I heard they had removed the casket and converted the trailer to a mobile hot tub.

You know, there were some things about being younger that I really enjoyed, although I wouldn't want to do them again.

Interesting story, but be prepared for people reminding you that Dale's car was # 3, not 4.
 
There used to be a shop in a little strip mall I drove by going to lunch, it was called "Caskets And More". I always wanted to just stop there some day. Never did, now they are gone. :frown:

3 not 4 huh? Did I mention that there were years when I didn't see any cars? However, I'm sure there weren't any years when I didn't see the cooler.
