LMAO!

The recession isn’t no joke!

i’m down! the $895 one is probably $2,895 if purchased from the funeral home.

I think it’s a good idea….I positive that it’s cheaper than the funeral home’s price. Now only if we can find out who is the wholesaler and it would be even cheaper!

Wal*Mart

“From the cradle to the grave… literally, we have you covered.”

Im feeling the prices.

New meaning to there slogan:

“SAVE MONEY.DIE BETTER”

*their*

I wonder do they have layaway??? LOL!

thank you Jesus. someone needs to give discounts on caskets bc funerals are made expense. i hope to get coupons out to the elderly. miami will be full of old people trying to get a discount.

Disturbia

LMAO!!!

I wonder if they delivery to your home.

This all sounds funny but I am serious

you know walmart wasnt gonna miss out on that money, the way people are dying nowadays smh

next, they’ll have babysitting centers, rehabs, and in-store plastic surgeons. Ridiculousness at its best.

“I wonder if they have lay-a-way?”

LOL!!! I think it should be

“SAVE MONEY.DIE CHEAPER”

I’m so glad that Walmart came out with this because I’m so tired of folks in my office hitting me up for money to bury somebody. Family members too.

Now I can tell em that Walmart has casket and will give you 12 months to pay. It’s like layaway for the dead.

that’s what i call fighting the recession

Walmart can probably fix healthcare in America.
Since they’re selling caskets for the end of life, they can have birthing centers in the store for the beginning of life.

Walmart, was not the 1st to start selling cuffins. I warehouse name Costco has been doing for years now. Walmart has just got on to it.

@Peepeye

I like your slogan better! LOL. Im thinking about presenting my new slogan to Wal-mart..for a nice piece of change of course. lol

Walmart is doing too much for me! Caskets? I’m trying to think about how I’d feel if my peoples buried me in a Walmart casket. I know I’d be dead but I don’t know if I want the price of my final resting place to end in $****.98!

nice prices cuz at the funeral home they are 6G’s….

nice prices cuz at the funeral home they are 6G’s….that’s at Nix Funeral home….

they had a story on the news a while back about a growing trend with people having @ home funerals — there is also a class that you have to take b4 you can perform a funeral @ your home, but this is the first time i heard that walmart was selling caskets — wow

Caskets are very expensive and at thost prices…sad to say that’s a better bargain than what you gone get charge at a funeral home! i’m sure plenty of funeral homes will be mad now!

When you’re going under six feet,
Our coffin deals cannot be beat;
From cradle to grave
At Wal-Mart you save
When we mark your checkout receipt.

They also sell urns too.

Wal-Mart is monopolizing the market. This isn’t new nor surprising…

Idk if this is a new high or low..probably high. Well, they need to just have them at Sam’s Wholesale…they have the room..

WhySoSerious….ah! because Aubrey is fine!

Cause I Said So…..That’s Why!

Walmart is doing too much for me! Caskets? I’m trying to think about how I’d feel if my peoples buried me in a Walmart casket. I know I’d be dead but I don’t know if I want the price of my final resting place to end in $****.98!

Would you like them to roll back the price to.. $****.50¢ ?

Or did you want to add to the rising costs of consumer goods?

There has been caskets and headstones available online for awhile now. Funeral homes have been raping families in their times of bereavement with charging a 200% mark up on caskets. When my grandmother died, my aunt bought a 7 thousand dollar casket that i found online for 800 dollars, she nearly killed me. To bad that she couldn’t get refund.

Costco’s been selling them.

Just keeping up with the competition.

Being in the death business… it really isn’t that much “cheaper” you still have to wait for the delivery… making it almost unlikely you will know exactly when the casket will arrive AND…

They are made in China…

It just makes sense that they will sell them. They sell guns so what’s the next step. The ultimate result from a gun is death so why not make it easy for the shopper? LOL.

Only in America. ***In my Don King voice***

Good business sense.

not new …..Sam’s Club has been selling those and walmart is part of Sam’s Club

I don’t think it’s a good idea for Wal-Mart to sell caskets. It seems like a hustle to me. Every death should be documented and purchasing caskets at a place where groceries and clothes are sold is a bit ridiculous. It’s not my decision to make however, I don’t agree with this item of sale at Wal-mart.

all these yrs ppl been getting ripped off by funeral homes so at least ppl have a choice now.

You order and they deliver it directly to the funeral home and in all states the funeral home has to use a 3rd party casket if the family wishes they cannot refuse a wal mart casket.

well i hope the roll back on the price a lil more its hard out here in this recession

and i wonder when they gon start selling houses and cars hmmm

and i wonder when they gon start selling houses and cars hmmm

that crossed my mind a long time ago. You know you’d be in line. Next thing you know they’ll be doing momograms and pap smears.

I actually think it is just better to sell directly from the store. Plus, if you order online, you have to wait,..and wait..and pay for shipping & handling.

Wal-mart is getting it in!!! They are taking over every market! WOW.

Yes, funeral homes have to accept third party caskets, but funeral homes make up for the lost revenue by charging you full price for their services instead of giving you the “package discount” you get when you purchase casket and services from them. The funeral home gets their money either way – you’re just making it easier on them when you buy the casket online. Also, the caskets are made by St. Joseph Casket Company in St. Joseph, Tennessee, not in China.
