Found this in the classifieds on Craigslist.. Ok I can see trading things but why would you have an empty casket just hanging around?

I'm pretty sure she's got a coffee can (mebbe, they're mostly plastic these days) that she could roast my azz, burn off the lard and throw my azz in there for all eternity
probably be the dog's new hydrant!

It would make a usable combination coffee table and guess bed until it's needed elsewhere.

The weirdness never stops.
George Orwell was a Prophet, not a novelist. Read 1984 and then look around you!

Someone's grim diagnosis turned out to be incorrect? The reports of their pending demise was greatly exaggerated? Guess that's the positive way to look at the ad?

I know of some students at college who had a casket to house a pet snake. Weird having a casket in their living room.

Maybe the current owner has decided to be cremated.
Maybe it was a prize in a drawing from a funeral home doing a little creative marketing.
The big box store's like Costco, Walmart and Sam's Club have been selling caskets for a good while now. Obviously, they're for individuals wanting to avoid the big mark-up that funeral homes add on. After seeing the funeral bill's from some deceased relatives I can understand why some might consider a DIY.

A few years ago, it was all the rage to "buy a casket now before prices rise."
People did.

Sooner or later everybody needs one, when you need one you don't know it, the person that needs one, never hardly ever, buys one.

I thought maybe she didn't die like he'd been wishing for.
It was an impulsive purchase or a gift or...

My guess? It's hot. Try query ADN's history for funeral home hold-ups. (I never put anything past an illustrious (growing) few in Anchorage.)

Someone intended to be buried, but got cremated to save money.
