Walmart Caskets

What gets me is a department store selling caskets, but for people who do not have a lot of money, this is great. And also by law, a funeral home can't charge you a fee, for bringing in a outside casket, and they must by law allow it to be used, if the family so wishes, in all 50 states. Caskets that are bought cheap are marked up to 75% more than the funeral director bought it for, for instance, the gasket that seals the casket and keeps in, microbial anaerobic putrefactive gases, are bought for 8 bucks, but is sold to you for $ 200 bucks. Plus today's caskets are designed to burp to let out the gases, because the casket tops blow off, or mausoleum seal plates sometimes will blow open, and sometimes soupy putrifacted flesh blows out or seeps out with it. And most funeral directors will tell you that this seal is to make the casket air tight. What they are doing is playing on the emotional weakened state that the family is in. They are trained to make you feel, that the dead must be protected. Also many cemeteries and some states, require a container for the casket to go in, and the deal on that is, with the containers, the soil does not sink to much at all, making it easier to mow, as well as keeping the cemetery looking good aesthetically. Funeral directors will tell you these containers are for protection from water, and they will even try to sell you one with a lid that has downward pointing edges for water run off, that alone will take up the cost hundreds of dollars, and these containers do not protect the casket and the body, water still finds a way in there. Just sharing some knowledge here.

Well Jason my good brother, I was going to be a mortician, then drugs and alcohol got in the way. But God makes morticians, because if you naturally like that work, it is He who put it in you, sort of like me being a musician, He made me that way.
