    This just seems wrong, but then again ,maybe they can bury me under a prime parking spot.
    Rockstar parking for eternity...

    Wonder if they have handicap space available. I mean like Im dead yanno..cant get more handicap than that.

    Maybe I can get a coffin with Door protectors to stop the buggy damage....

    Wonder how Long I have to return it, if Im not happy with it.

    I'm not sure why, but when I see this topic and that popcorn emote... it just makes me cringe....

    I lol'd.

    Hmmm.... I'll get a juicy fruit... a red bull... a kit-kat... a $6000 dollar coffin... some skittles... and a pillow.

    Pssh, Walmart selling coffins is nothing. Did you know that Costco sells coffins?

    LIMITED TIME OFFER: 3-pack of bronze plated coffins only $7500!!!!

    You know I think someday in the future, Every store is going to be Walmart. Like in Demolition Man where every restaurant in the future is Taco Bell.

    "ooooooh and walmart rolls back the price yet again on premium coffins!". I pity the morbid bastard that buys one as an impulse buy.

    All I want to know is if the coffins are like all the pieces of Walmart furniture. Build-it-yourself plywood and steel pipe affairs held together with thumbscrews and glue.

    at least you can then have the kid(s) put it together, and if one gets a nasty splinter that gets infected or something.. you already have a secondary box for them!
