You actually want to die in this? I'd rather die of something else than lying in a casket to die. Or did you mean this is what you would like to be put in once you are dead.

definately.

and after all youll be buried under 6ft of soil anyway.

much better to be buried in a big sack and spend the money when youre alive, or pass the money on to your offspring.

story that always makes me smile:

my dad died of cancer 3 months after his 60th birthday.
that day, i was an absolute wreck, but my dad's best friend knew that if he could keep me busy on details, I'd be more calm....

so he took me to the funeral home to make arrangements and pick the casket. now we knew dad was being creamated so we didn't want to spend a lot. the funeral director showed us a plain pine box, which we thought was fine until he told us it was like a thousand bucks.... so he showed us a cardboard box (no, i'm not kidding)...

here's me and my dad's very best friend standing in front of this cardboard box, saying to each other "well, Dad would hate for us to waste money on something that's going to be burned"... "yeah, but its CARDBOARD!"... we both got to the point where we were giggling hysterically about cutting handles in the cardboard and slapping a beer label on it before we put dad in.

obviously, we went with the pine, but just being there in that discussion about putting my dad in a cardboard box was so surreal that i just had to laugh at the idea of it.... i think he would've enjoyed that discussion.... 🙂

That's a great story...thanks for sharing something so deeply personal with the rest of us. It must have been rough, glad you made it through.

Not only do I **not** want to be buried in this abominable thing, but neither do I want to hang out in it while in the throes of death. I needed a sarcasm font there.
