Just in time for Halloween!

Your loving folks at Wal-Mart have always had your families best interest in mind! Now, through direct shipping from the Wal-Mart.com website, they want to help you during your families time of grieving.

Wal-Mart is now selling caskets and urns to help you through your time of bereavement.  Quality, handcrafted burials products are available at the Online store at great Wal-Mart prices.

I’m not sure how I feel about this… I mean, on the surface, I think I would feel quite weird and put-off shopping for my loved-one’s casket, plus the morbidity of even considering the fact that Wal-Mart is trying to service this segment of the population just seems… wrong.   However, the more I think about it, the more I guess it makes sense.  Wal-Mart has continually grown into new markets as they have expanded, (SuperStore supermarkets, tires and car repair, gas), so I guess it was only a matter of time before they started supplying us with burial paraphernalia. 

I think that this is only the beginning though.  I can envision Wal-Mart taking this to the next step and getting their Sam’s Club outlet into the action, offering bulk savings on buying, say, a 6-pack of caskets, or a drum of embalming fluid or something like that.  You heard it here first!

I have decided I just want to be burned on a burning pyre, like in the olden days… pushed out to sea and lighted by flaming arrow from one of my faithful archers from the shore.
