Zona Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 lol I work at Costco Distribution Center here in Phx. Costco has been selling caskets for like a year now. Not sure, but they are only available online, or in Illinois area I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in SC Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Bastard, beat me to it. 353977[/snapback] Yes, but we both forgot to mention that there have been no repeat customers (and few complaints). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalo mike Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 And WTF are you supposed to do with it when you get it??? 1- put it in the garage until needed. 2- bring it with you to the funeral home. 3- have your own makeshift funeral. Stick to hot-tubs Costco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sen. John Blutarsky Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I'd love to know how many of those they sell. "Honey, I'm going to Costco today." "Great! Don't forget to get some milk, oh and be sure to check out the caskets, I hear the '05 models are in." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Not for long - I understand sales have been dead. 353975[/snapback] That leads me into: "Why are there fences around graveyards?" Because people are dying to get it! Lame I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not sitting in your garage waiting for you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Yes, but we both forgot to mention that there have been no repeat customers (and few complaints). 354058[/snapback] The largest manufacturer, Batesville Casket, is located about 50 miles west of me. They offer optional leak-proof guarantees...don't want any leaking into that concrete vault, do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guffalo Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 The largest manufacturer, Batesville Casket, is located about 50 miles west of me. They offer optional leak-proof guarantees...don't want any leaking into that concrete vault, do we? 355016[/snapback] In summers during high school and college, I worked at Elmlawn cemetary in Tonawanda. On occasion they would have to "dig one out" for various reasons. Those guarantees are pretty much worthless. I saw a 7 year old dig out (the guy died 7 years prior, and the wife wanted him moved to a mausoleum). The Funeral director who handled the original and the new internment was on hand to oversee the event. He was also there to make sure we didn't say a word about the condition of the vault (saturated), casket (one side deteriorated to nothing, black water pouring out) or remains (obvoius worm meat). He had sold the top of the line package to the woman with guarantees that the vault was impenetrable, the casket 100% waterproof for 50 years and hubby would be safe and sound for years to come. As soon as the condition of remains were visible, the funeral director looked around, checked out who was there and then gave our boss an envelope. Later after it was all done, the boss told the three of us " It was in good condition? right?" We all kinda nodded and then he gave us each a 20 from the envelope. The boss kept the rest. It was one of my first real world lessons in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't keep it on lay-away until you die. So you actually would have to put it in your garage, or attic , or crawl space a la ted Bundy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the employees dont know what's going on. Sorry about the mis-info. We were told originally that all merchandise was "for future delivery" ...Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
