WHAT?! Walmart Is Selling WHAT?!

I read that, too. Before long, WalMart will be the ONLY store around! I'm wondering just how they handle that kind of thing, too, about dying and not having the casket ready yet. Maybe they want people to buy them before they're needed and kind of just blend them into the decor like a coffee table or something until they're needed. Maybe people could buy them and sleep in them until the time came when they'd just stay put instead of getting up and going about their day? I'm sure there are plenty of weirdos who will be buying them just to have some fun with them, until the time came to use them for real, of course. What next? Autos? Space ships? I'd kinda like to see them selling hovercrafts. I'd definitely buy one of those! Hey! A hovercraft would make so much more sense, wouldn't it? I mean, they could be transportation, then work as a coffin when the time came! Of course, with the way so many people drive these days, it would probably become a coffin way before the owners were ready. I mean, hovering right into power lines and stuff.

Weird! My family won't be using that service--we're all going to be cremated after our bodies are harvested for usable organs. Then we'll fertilize someone's garden or a forest as our bodies are meant to do! It's no surprise to me that they're getting into the casket business but it could also be a Halloween joke.

I don't think that is right and I really hope that they will not ever start selling them in stores because to my mind they will loose a lot of Custom, I for one would not shop somewhere where they sell them that is for sure

A person doesn't have to be deceased before having their own casket. I think it's very thoughtful of Walmart. We are encouraged to put away or insure ourselves against the day we die...it IS inevitable, I think being able to pre-purchase a casket is a great idea. Also,I think a coffin sitting upright in the lounge-room would make a good conversation starter. What a good idea for a birthday or anniversary gift...I wonder if they do his and her sets? At least, if you get a casket before you kick the bucket, you can try it out to see if it fits and looks good. How many people would turn over in their grave if they were alive to see the ugly casket they have been placed in??? Personally, I'm not worried by this as I've decided to donate my body to science.

..and they're overpriced too.my local home sells that top model for $700. no bargain there. i guess they expect people to buy them in advance and store them somewhere. but yea,that is a little surprising for walmart to be selling.

Oh well that's is creepy! I've never expected that caskets would be selling online also! I guess maybe just for the time of holloween. Hao!

That is so distasteful. It freaks me out too. I cannot imagine. You are right, the next thing we know they will have a display in their stores.

That is the creepiest thing I've heard in a long time. YUCK!! What are they thinking? I really don't want to get engagement rings and caskets in the same store. LOL come to think of it, I don't get anything at Wal-Mart to begin with so I'm not losing out, but I still think it's disgusting.

So ? If it sells and they make a good profit ? I used to deal with somebody who imported and exported caskets to Haiti in my early years in shipping. The trade in coffins is not a prominent or popular thing but it is there and it makes a profit.

Hey Mary Beth, I can't believe you are actually relaxing and playing games on the computer!! Glad to hear it. As for the casket, is it possible that it may be a prop for Halloween? Probably not. I guess they expect people to buy before they keel over. My question is, where do you store it? Maybe lay away? Hugsss Leenie

It's weird, but on the internet, you can find anything that weird and strange even once i see, the man who wants to sell his kidney, does it crazy? do you think so?? but i think it's because ogf Hallowen like you said before about the caskets, but i don't know what happen to the guy who is selling his kidney ....

That is indeed weird. I've never heard of a store like Walmart selling caskets. They must be the first one to do this. Maybe it's just a Halloween thing? I don't live in the USA, so I don't shop at Walmart, but if I would shop there, I wouldn't want to see caskets.

I think it can be officially noted that Walmart is the One Stop Shop Store!

It just shows you how stores are selling all kinds of things. I myself would be careful where I get a casket from because of problems in the past with places not really burying people etc. I myself want to know the loved one I buried was actually buried.
