The price of being dead just dropped. It is a good thing, given the troubles in the economy.
Wal-Mart is beginning to sell caskets and urns at walmart.com. Some of the caskets are prices as low as $999 and ship within 48-hours. It is a shame when a family won't pay the full $1,00o when a loved one dies.
Wal-Mart, of course, sells everything on line and has the second most visited e-commerce site in the country, so caskets and urns are just an extension of making walmart.com the internet destination for all shopping. And some of the products are pretty attractive. Who could pass up the "Pieta and Last Supper Steel Casket" for only $1,599 or the "Dad Remembered Steel Casket" for $995? Does that come with free shipping?
