I like to shout Geronimo when I jump off cliffs

Its my job 

Might I ask, are the caskets you use made more often from oak, pine or maple or is there some other wood which is more preferrred?

 

In my recent but limited experience, the caskets currently most popular are metal.

[An Undertaker 0]

It all depends on how much you want to pay (as with most things)

 

There are some metal ones but they are very expensive, the most popular is made from MDF or micro density fibre.

I took a Thanatology class Senior Year and one of the requirements was to go to a funeral home and, among other things, price out the cheapest, average and most expensive possible funeral that you could.

 

Don't remember the exact numbers, but I do remember the starting item for the most expensive was a solid gold casket - $34,000 U.S.

Hmm - solid gold you say. Gold costs about £9,000 per kilo, so your $34,000 casket could only have had 2 or 3 kilos of the stuff in it, if it was pure. Even at 9 carats, which is less gold, more gold-contaminated non-precious metal, it would only have weighed about 8 kilos. This would give around 730 cubic centimetres of the 9 carat stuff, which would have to be beaten pretty thin (about 0.2 mm thick) to form a coffin. Are you sure this was for people, not for their hamsters?

In other words it's going to be like posh turkey foil, the equivalent of a large chocolate bar without its outside wrapper. I don't call that a box.

[Anubis the Jackal 77]

like posh turkey foil

 

If you choose cremation, would that mean they'd have to take off the foil coffin for the last half-hour to allow browning?

[Godot 149]

At least that way they could have seen Alistair Cooke

[Anubis the Jackal 77]

Or, in the future, Stephen Fry, Gay Byrne and Leslie Ash

 

Not forgetting Quentin Crisp, or at a push, the golfer Tony Cracklin.

[Godot 149]

Brilliant. That deserves a birthday wish even from someone as glum as me, many happy returns.

And to sing for you on your birthday, I give you Pavarotti:

Agh damn, I didn't mean solid gold. I was rather sick last night and my mind wasn't working properly. I heard the phrase "solid gold" so often that I forget you can use it without the "solid part"

 

Anyhow, you are definetely right. Especially since solid gold would be a bit heavy I'd imagine.

 

I think more likely just the outer layer was gold, but it was real and pure.

Good one!

[Tempus Fugit 214]

Tempus Fugit is dead,

 

Maybe is here.

[Anubis the Jackal 77]

Hello there.

[in eternum+ 22]

Tempus Fugit is dead,

Ah... it all makes sense now... I was a bit confused for a while, but then it all became clear.

 

Another born-again DLer: how does it feel? Any identity crises?

My username comes down to the fact that I won over £300 in a work death pool with the death of Jack Lemon on 28/06/01.

 

I remember the date because I broke my leg playing 5 a sides the same day.

 

Still, the money came in handy

How interesting, It sounds almost like black magick..

 

You break the leg but win the prize. I suppose the DL didn't have Lemon

on the 2001 list. Good bet on your part.

Perhaps that link should be posted on MPFC new thread.
