Found this in the classifieds on Craigslist..

Ok I can see trading things but why would you have an empty casket just hanging around?

someone finally agreed to divorce?

beats the hell outa me Annie, I got a lot of stuff around this place


but I'm fresh outa caskets

Boy Scout. "Be Prepared".

lol las

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.

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.

Some things just don't make sense.

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.

If it was wood....


I would give it some thought...


the Chi O's would be interested too

Well at least it is new and not second hand.

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.

Must of hit a sale on them and felt the need to stock up. Y2K left-over?

You don't have one? I thought everyone did. I store my do-it-yourself embalming kit in it.

Somebody didn't have nobody.

If you keep one in the garage and leave the door up where it can be seen on occasion, neighbors never seem to bother you mutch. GW

was thinking bout it for a birthday present for my mother in law.....she says she uses what i buy her....

Some folks just don't know the value of what they have
When " Private road " Dead End " Keep out " and even a " If you can read this , you are in range " signs don't stop the dumb azzes from wanting to see where this lil dirt road goes , an apropriatly placed coffin ( or coffin cover in this case ) does have the effect of making strangers really feel unwelcome and when placed in sight of the last possible place to turn around ..... well let's just say that there has been some gravel flying and we gotta go back and fill the ruts in the road the next day

"Buy one, get one free." ??

Buy before they go up?
I heard caskets are always going down , actually....

He wouldn't stay in it?

Vampire?

They could afford the casket, but not the plot?

s/he agreed to the divorce?

"You kids better behave, or else..."

"Just wait until your father gets up...."

They float, maybe its a flood contingency plan.

Personal fallout shelter?

How to sneak your mother in from the Old Country without a passport?

Cocaine smuggler?

Miraculous recovery.

A riddle:

He who builds it does not need it.
He who buys it does not use it.
He who uses it does not know it.
What is it?

My crazy hunting buddy had one in his front yard, used it for waterproof storage plus shock effect. He is 65 going on 16 and is a hoot.

I bought one for my MIL for Christmas last year, I told her she isnt getting another thing from me until she uses the last gift I gave her,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
