The caskets and urns are made in the USA by Star Legacy Funeral Network, Inc., which also supplies coffins to Overstock.com and Costco. (Funeral homes are required by law to let families supply their own caskets or urns.) They are delivered via FedEx within 48 hours of ordering, and can be delivered directly to the funeral home.
Or, like my family's former pastor, you can buy your coffin early, store it in your home, and freak out your neighbors when you move.
Walmart's caskets cost between $1,000 and $3,100. They are not returnable.

This was only recently made law in TN as coffin sales were formerly only allowed to be by licensed funeral directors. As always, a monopoly generated higher prices, so people fought and got the law overturned. Even in the Nashville area there are a couple of lower end strip malls with retail sales coffin showrooms in them...

]]>@LadySiren: No cheaper twin packs but buy two adult size and get a free pet coffin included...
]]>@Goatweed: I was going to mention that Costco had coffins on their website for several years...
]]>@jaydez: Made in USA at Wal-Mart? Sorry, I'm waiting for the $395 Element model.
]]>I wonder if they will mark 'em down on Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Would make a hell of an ad.
]]>My brother-in-law: Why is the casket all scratched and dented?
Quake 'n' Shake: It was a floor model we picked up on clearance. What the hell do you want from me?
For the record, my mother-in-law laughed.
]]>@GitEmSteveDave_ThatChickRockingKicks:
I bet they would even hold cookies.
]]>No customer product reviews?
]]>the website states they start at $895.00 what a bargain! AND they are made in the USA!
]]>I would hate to be the fedex guy delivering these things.
]]>Chinese lead, from cradle to grave!
]]>Also, will the urns hold animal ashes?
