Is there no end to the encroachment of China on the American way of life and death?
Funeral home owners are now selling imported Chinese caskets. Do you want to go in a Chinese box. I sure to hell don't.
No, I want to be cremated ans carried via cardboard box to any ocean and dumped. Some of my ashes might make ot to China, but I doubt it. :smile:
I too am going to be cremated, but plans surrounding what is to be done with my ashes are presently under review. I am considering those ocean reef memorials as a potential final resting place. . . That way anyone wanting to visit me gets to look at the ocean and will be distracted from (hopefully) boo-hooing it up or anything. . . :smile:
You know, I like that idea too, actually. But at a minimum, I want the cardboard box recycled ;D
I'm with troll on this one!!!....i want to rot in an American made box....that is like the final insult to stick and American in a "made in china" box....
let's go on a "living" strike!!!.....hell no, we won't die until American wood is used for our final resting place..
(I can't go the creamation rout... :spooked: ...something about burning, don't settle with me)
Hell no! We won't go! Hell no! We won't go! ;D

I wonder when Wal-Mart is going to sell the metal one's, on the lay away plan. You buy them, we plant them, all under one roof at your Wal-Mart Store. One stop shopping.
Here's a way to insure you won't be buried in a furrin' box. Build yer own! :biggrin:

Which brings up an old poem from a casket maker......
"Some men sigh, and some men lie,
And some men die
For a maiden --
But I prefer
To build for her
The casket she'll be laid in.

It sounds as if the author was Irish to me! :biggrin:
I agree and my kinda guy :biggrin:
Even tho is hard to say, some times dying can bring relief.
My wife's brother die a little over three week ago and he have had some real health challenges. With all of his medical bills, under water on his home, he died broke. The family members took up a collection to buy a head stone. His son a large funeral bill.
So now the bill collectors are now calling my wife trying to find out where he is. When she get a call from them, she tells them he at the Lapel cemetery and he doesn't have a phone.
After a long pause, she explains that he passed away. Two bill collectors just hung up without saying a word. :wink: :smile:
