Jeez, a refrigerator-sized cardboard box would be free.

Had to plan an unexpected funeral. They were going to be cremated but we wanted to have a service first. They have caskets, that are meant to be burnt, for the low price of $6,000. This was over 10 years ago too. I’m sure it’s much more now.

you know, I was thinkingaabout purpose made carborad caskets, and they do exit, but reusing a fridge box seems like an even more fun idea if thats something that appeal to loving peron planning thir future funeral a More eco friendly, and more evonomical as yiu metión. 📦
also a shout out to the idea of shorids, in that cade case a clean old beafheet of the right size and material, will probanly work just as well as any shroud, for a burial, while being potentially free. (For some some burial grounds, no box needed, just a shroud is perfectly fine. basically a fabric sheet wrapping)

We just rented the casket for my father’s funeral. Then he was shipped to the crematorium.

Shit. Ours were $150USD pine boxes. Ugly as sin, but they got the job done.

Only 6k? That's a steal! As in "they are blatantly stealing money from you"
