Clearly the following ideas must be adapted to your type of business, your strategy, your clients, and the
available media and journalists, but they should provide you with a general direction you may
follow:. Those that believe that Ross Harris is guilty of wanting a child free life might say in response to that, the kind of people that want to make it look like they were not planning
a child free life. Whether it is movie reviews, a new movie,
a classic title or a movie you cannot find anywhere else, moviesplanet.

In reply to Anthony. Anthony, LOL thanks for sharing your comments. I haven't seen Lindner coffin but you should post a link to it! And you have to admit, Steve Jobs' advice is pretty good!

OMW! these guys are taking thinking out of the box (read coffin) a bit too far methinks. I guess they are taking Steve Jobs’ advice of not doing things better than the competition, but doing things different to the competition to heart. Have you seen the Lindner coffin calendar? Now they are posing naked women with their coffins…believing that sex sells everything!

My friend was looking for funeral products in Chicago like a casket, I had no idea you could just pick one up at your local Walmart. I want to say this surprises me, but it doesn't! Interesting, thanks for sharing.

I am not surprised that Walmart is selling caskets. They are a massive company that tries to enter every marketplace. Any space they believe they can make a dollar on they will give it a shot.

Walmart carrying caskets is definitely a creepy thought. Just imagining picking up one from your local Walmart and carrying it all the way through the store and out to your waiting vehicle, because inevitably the site-to-store pickup is always at the back of the store. There is just something eerie with that thought.

Also, number five is at the top of that spooky list. A great idea to pre-plan your funeral for your wife/husband/significant other, but not such a great idea giving it to him or her on Valentine’s Day. Hopefully this one will not become a regular in the Valentine’s Day gift-giving routine.

Number 1 is the only one I care about. Our small town of 10k people just had a Walmart built about 3 years ago and although they don’t display caskets IN the store itself, they have them on the website of course. I’d say on average families come in with the knowledge of the Walmart prices only twice a year, but as people get more internet savvy that number will go up. It prompted us to take $1000 off of our casket prices and tack it onto our service charge so our caskets look more reasonable. It also saves the family a little on the tax amount they have to pay. We actually should have done this awhile ago. If someone mentions the Walmart prices though we tell them that we can’t guarantee what kind of condition it will be in when it arrives, IF it arrives on time and if they go pick it up from the store some people don’t have a vehicle to do that in. What we end up doing it matching the Walmart price plus $200 since they get to pick out which one they want and they don’t have to worry about delivery. Long story short, every funeral home is going to come across this situation at one point, you just have to find a way to please the family while still making a profit on the casket.
