QuoteBut an industry spokesman said it was not gravely concerned about Wal-Mart's move because he said the firm could not offer bereaved families the human touch.

I take it Kennelly will be one of their first customers to get his order in before he plays Cork again?

Why should coffins only be sold by funeral directors for ridiculous markups?

Coffins are not about the price its about the person who is lying inside it. Sure if money was such an important factor we would all be making our own. It is not right to the person's memory to bury them via Wal-Mart.

Precisely the reason I am going to be cremated.

Here in Oz there's an insurance company called 'Real Insurance'. During day-time TV it is on flogging shite to unsuspecting retirees and one of the most sickening recent campaigns was that for funeral cover insurance. It starts off nice and casually with the auld bloke reminiscing about his youth, parenthood, grandparenthood and as the advert progresses the intensity of his voice increases almost to the point where he is panicking that (and I paraphrase) he doesn't want to be a burden on his family after he dies. For fcuk sake, most parents have sacrificied so much for their children; yet the insensitive b**tards in advertising are flogging the guilt complex. How the fcuk can a parent who has given their all in parenthood and grandparenthood even begin to think that way?

Makes business sense if he's a doctor though. Smart man.

Uh-huh I'm sure it is. Im fairly sure you wouldn't want to be so cheap as to go to Wal-mart for everything, even the end of your days. This is Trailer Trrash material.
