  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

Have you seen one of the Chinese coffins?  They look pretty familiar for some reason. :confused:

  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.

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:
