Yes, it's true...Walmart is selling Coffins and Urns online! You can get a Lady De Guadalupe Steel Casket sent directly to your home. It's nice to know vampires have a place to turn when they need lodging. This was reported to us from H K, who said:
"Is nothing sacred? Is our death now being bandied about for profits for one of the most unethical corporations around? Words cannot describe the...incredulousness and disgust I feel. I feel dirty. There's even a patriot coffin there. I wonder how long it will be until there is a Three Wolves and Full Moon" coffin and/or urn."
...or a Hannah Montana Superstar...or Martha Stewart Living...
For us? Carolanne wants something by clothing designer Alexander McQueen, Freddy would like to rest in Spongebob Squarepants, and Jason, well, he will take anything that has the Steelers on it.To read the story CLICK HERE.
To shop for a coffin or urn CLICK HERE.
I actually heard about that on the radio last week! So as soon as I got home I checked it out and sure enough it was there....I guess they just want your money dead or alive :-p

Oh wow. That reminds me of back when I used to work at a craft store there was this older lady who always brought her tiny teacup doggie in her purse every time she'd come in to shop. First time I saw him I was taken by surprise cause I thought he was a toy at first untill he moved. He was always well behaved and quiet, a good little doggie. But then one day she came in all alone and was buying a small decorative ceramic vase with a lid. As I was ringing her up she mentioned to me that her doggie had died and the vase was for him. So sad.

I thought our deaths were "being bandied about for profits" by the funeral home industry. How is this any different?

^Rod: funeral homes are usually small local mom & pop businesses, with well-trained workers who usually work closely with the family to do a good job for them, and are well-regarded in the community. I've never heard of one that was a big corporate chain worth billions.
