Kind of off topic, but a few years ago when my step Dad passed, I took my Mom to the funeral home to make arrangements.
She said she wanted to pick out a modestly priced casket for herself while we were there, to avoid us overpaying for it while we were grieving when she passes.
But then she starts looking at really expensive caskets for my step Dad. I asked her if she remembered what we talked about on the drive over, and she snapped out of it and started looking at more modestly priced caskets for him too.
Not bargain basement stuff, but more middle of the road in price.
I agree with that. I told my wife if she overpays for a casket or anything if I die first I'm going to haunt her and make her wish she hadn't.
Because hey, if you're dead you have bigger problems than worrying about how much your loved ones paid for your casket right? ;)

Be careful with the WalMart urn sizes. They appear to run small.

Is it just me, or does putting ashes in a biodegradable urn seem like the opposite of wearing both a belt and suspenders?

In woodworking magazines I’ve seen plans for coffee table / coffin combinations (removable top).
I like more room in my bed than I’ll need in a coffin.

I expect to see the more corrupt members of the Utah legislature try to ban Walmart’s coffin sales. Undertakers have an amazing amount of influence and have gotten a lot of laws passed to protect themselves. For example you have to buy a coffin for anyone you are cremating. Also, now Death Certificates are no longer issued by doctors but only by undertakers.

Costco has been offering caskets for a few years now:
Your search for "casket" produced 20 results at Costco website
Because of some religious traditions, embalming may not be required, as long as the body is cremated, or interred within 48 hrs, in most cases, but there are exceptions. That is true for in Michigan.

How much does a Grecian earn? I never can remember the formula.

Good for Walmart! Competition for funeral supplies is long overdue. Damn straight!
Funeral salesmen, uh, funeral directors make used car salesmen look like wee school girls when it comes to hardball sales tactics.

Hey! Maybe a good project for Norm on next seasons New Yankee Workshop.
I wonder how much Norn would charge for plans and a list of mateials.

Order today, and it will be delivered between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2. Die in the next ten minutes, and I'll double the offer! Don't think you'll need two caskets? Get a casket and an urn, one for your parakeet!

One does not have to pay exhorbatant prices for a casket.
For example, when mother died, there was not a casket in Tampa that qualified as a suitable casket for a Jewish burial. Such caskets are all wood - no nails or metal.
So - I went to Home Depot and purchased sufficient 1x12” plain pine boards, some dowels, and a dowel jig. Add a drill and some bits, and I successfully made her casket that night.
Mother was buried as she wished.
On a slightly different note, for those with a fondness for satire, Google the lyrics to the Chad Mitchel Trio’s “Funeral Director of the Year Award”.

Great story—and a beautiful gift by making your mother’s casket with your own hands.
