In one of the most bizarre calls the department has ever received, Prince George’s County Public Works and Transportation picked up an illegally dumped casket Thursday.

In a post on Facebook, At-Large Prince George’s County Council member Calvin Hawkins called it “among the top five unbelievable constituent calls that I have responded to as public servant over the last 30 years!”

I would have picked it up for free. How much does a funeral home charge for a casket?

$3,000? What's the markup for them?

I know morbid, flame away.

>> I would have picked it up for free.

Me too! But it depends on if it is “new” or “used”.

Probably full of bedbugs from someone sleeping in it.

“Well, we can burn her, bury her, or dump her.”

I betcha some vampire really saw red when he returned to the castle and found his bed gone.

The casket, which was fortunately empty, was found left on the curb near Lords Landing...

And we're only now reading about it on FR

three days later?

🤔

Comedic timing afoot?

After bussing began about ‘73 all the huwite fokes fled to Virginny.
Now you got peepo dumping coffins by the side of the road.

What are the rules for dumping it legally? Nothing important. Just making some notes.

What, the “Casket Dumper” never heard of Craig’s list?

Facebook marketplace:

“Is this still available”?

Funniest thing I have ever seen. A man had a trailer hooked up to his truck with a casket on it. He was in the drive thru at McDonald’s Donald’s

Second funniest thing. I saw a guy with a Christmas tree on top of his car going thru the topless car wash.

“Pine Box”
by Rossington Collins Band (former Lynyrd Skynyrd members)

Don’t give me no cold pine box
Don’t dig me a hole
‘Cause when I feel my savior talk
It strengthens my soul

My heart is a pumpin’ fast
Hot tears stream down my cheeks
Through water and through the blood
The old man is in the creek

Your treasure is where your heart is
Your roots are at the stump
Does your blood flow or did you know
You have to prime your pump

Don’t give me no cold pine box
Don’t dig me a hole
‘Cause when I feel my savior talk
It strengthens my soul
The pain of death is loose from me
Death has no toe-hold
A pine box can’t hold me down
My ground can’t get cold

Don’t give me no cold pine box
Don’t dig me a hole
‘Cause when I feel my savior talk
It strengthens my soul
