Iit is a little creepy, but a good idea. Funerals homes get their business when people are really vulnerable and if the person had not planned ahead then you can get screwed on prices. A big deal was made about it by funeral homes in my area. They were mad because they were losing a lot of money because of this. They were refusing to do business with a family if they had already purchased their own casket.
I think I am going to get the 'Ryan'

I remember reading some articles about this a while back. Actually, I think there was a thread on FH about it. The whole coffin/wake/burial routine gives me the willies, but I'm not really bothered by them selling them at Costco. I guess I figure: Costco, funeral home, what's the difference? The coffin concept creeps me out either way but as long as they're empty I'm fine with them.
I mean it's weird that a store that sells food and stuff also sells coffins, but funerals are so freakin expensive that it makes sense.
What? Do you just stick the coffin in your attic or basement until you die, then pull it out? I can hear it now, "Grandpa's dead, Ma. Do you remember where we put the casket?"
