I know Costco has done this for years & now Wal-Mart has jumped on the bandwagon...I certainly understand the allure, particularly in this economy but, I'm just a lil' turned off by buying a loved one a discount coffin, it sounds kinda cheesy.

I saw this on another forum. How freaky! I don't think I'll be doing any coffin shopping there anytime soon. However, as messed up as this country is . . . I'm sure that they'll do a brisk business!

It's kinda creepy to get this when your not dead yet.

There's a place down the street from me called "The Casket Store"

They have everything from coffins to cremation urns.

I gotta laugh everytime I drive by.

Hell, it's bad enough that I got on some AARP mailing list. I'm closer to 30 than I am 65, geez!

what exactly is wrong with this? Walmart is a store that sells everything right?

One of the biggest scam rackets in the world is the funeral business where people get charged many thousands of dollars to bury people in the dirt. It is nuts. People are grieving and they go to funeral homes where they get railroaded into $10,000 caskets that make no sense.

I am being 100% honest when I say this - I see nothing at all wrong with this. If they can sell caskets in mass amounts and lower the price for all of us this is a good thing IMO.

I don't think it's wrong...I think it's funny...And when I think of something being "quality", like a coffin should be, the first image that comes to mind isn't something from Wal-Mart, that's all.

Wonder what Wal-Mart's Return policy is about these?

I think you can return it as long as your not dead or there isn't a dead body in it.

I agree, it is just unusual because we are not adjusted to it yet. I told my Mother and she instantly declared, "I bet they are cheaper than the funeral homes caskets!" and she is right.

I guess you could use them as Halloween props until they are needed for the real deal.

"I want to return this for my wife, she no longer needs it" the customer said. The stunned Wal-Mart customer service rep was terrified to ask why!

The return policy on a coffin is probably much better than a return policy of an invicta watch.
