Ok, so today my mom and I were at Costco getting stuff for my kids B-day party on saturday...anyway we noticed that Costco now sells caskets. Anyway being in a weird mood, I said to my mom that with me going thru all this cancer treatment, that if something goes wrong, and I depart this world before her, I want the lavender casket with a giant Rolling Stones insignia and flames on it...then I noticed a silver casket, so I said to add shark fins to the sides and top, toss in some old license plates, bend my foot up over my head, and toss in a stuffed animal of a seal, serve umbrella drinks and play the Jaws theme...we had a good laugh in describing our casket designs and funerial party (everyone MUST get sh*tfaced)...

So play along...do you want a traditional casket and funeral, or do you want some custom-made one and a party...yes this is a bit odd, but if you let your imagination go, you may find it pretty interesting and fun.

And can you believe it??? Costco selling caskets??? I mean do you pre-order, or do they just yank one off the shelf??? Can you take it for a test drive first, then return it if you don't like the comfort level??? After all, as long as you have your receipt, Costco will return just about anything!

Maybe they are beds for Goths?????? :)

I saw something interesting on some place in Africa which makes very colorful carved coffins which reflected the personality of the "occupant"... ie and sports car or a fishing boat... pretty eccentric but interesting. I'll try to find some images...

Fish coffin.

Shark coffin.

Look at image no. 10.

Remember these are REAL coffins that are actually used, not just works of art.

Edit: Here is another: Lion coffin.

Now THAT'S art.

The reason I knew about this is they had an exhibition in Melbourne as part of the Commonwealth games. I didn't see it though and it's probably gone now...

I want to to be stored in a really cushy couch. If you pull the cushions out just a bit, there is room to fit behind the seat cushions and underneath the back cushions. If the couch is comfy enough, you probably can't even tell that the cushions are pulled out a bit. Anyways, I think they should bury me like that, couch and all in the ground.

Well .. I can't think of a better, more sporty, exhibit for an athletic event

"keep up that runnin' around jibberish and you'll end up DEAD"

and .. throw in a vending machine so you have a place to spend the change you find

With a TV too ?

and a remote in hand...cant be buried in a couch without the deathgrip on the remote!

There's a church-turned cult house in Boston Mass- it's a family, and the family car is a hearse! I wouldn't doubt they sleep in coffins. Not that i wouldn't want to or anything....

That's funny though, i would never imagine Costco selling coffins! :xD

I like the shark one, but it would definately need some license plates, maybe a piece of a boat...be rigged to play the jaws theme...for authenticity purposes I mean...the lion looked pretty cool...
