Tasteful Celebration of the Transition from this World

Walmart style baby!
Once again Walmart leads the way to low low prices everyday. This time it’s with coffins. Starting at only $999.99, these babies are so cheap you can buy them for Halloween decorations. Or maybe put wheels on them? Coffin-Go-Kart race anyone?

Always easy to make fun of Walmart, but good on them. Funeral related costs have always been an area of high margins where unscrupulous retailers take advantage of vulnerable, uneducated consumers (how many of you know how much a casket should cost?). I hope they move into matresses next.

    Agreed! In many ways it would appear the funeral biz is quite an exploitative racket. I don’t care how fancy it is, a box is a box.

    And just in time for the looming pandemic. Nice work Walmart trends analysts!
