Morbid but genius marketing idea!


So, let's say you are living your last days on this earth, advanced in age, don't have much money, and don't want to place the financial burden of having your children pitch in to buy you a casket.  What do you do?  Well...here is this little morbid idea that I came up with that could revolutionize the way we purchase our caskets in these troubling economic times.  A self-made kit casket!  Yes!  Wouldn't this be a wonderful idea?  A casket that your family can put together on their own that you already purchased for no more than 300 dollars.  Yes.  A casket that all it takes is a  little assemble.  Heck, if you can buy a desk at Wal-Mart and put it together, why can't you put a casket your self?  Well, not your self, but your family would be put it together.  All you would need to do is go to a place like Wal-Mart, purchase the casket, store it underneath your bed, and inform your children or will executor where they would find the casket if you were to pass away.  Imagine that...Instead of spending 5000 dollars, save your money, invest in a 300 dollar self-made casket, and enjoy living the last days of your life with the money you saved, 4,700, or donate it to someone in need. 

Now, I know that this sounds sac religious, but to be honest, I wouldn't like myself to be burried in anything other than a rectangular, simple made casket, made out of plywood and nails, and then donate my saving to someone who needs it, a young man who needs money to go on a mission, or helping a starving college student, or a homeless single parent.  That makes plain sense to me. So, if you want to go into the business of making and selling home made kit caskets, be my guest, take it from here; if it works, all I would ask that you do is to donate 10% of your gross earnings to yours truly.  Thanks for your kind consideration.

  1. Good to know all we have to do is buy some plywood and make you a casket. Can we have your savings fund?
