You can buy a casket at Costco. [1] I don’t really have any comment about this fact. I was simply surprised to see that you could buy a discount coffin (and other discount accessories for the dead). For less than $1,000, you can get the “In God’s Care Casket.” [2] Not bad, considering that the average price of a casket is $2,000. [3]
I can just imagine someone heading out the door right now, saying “I’m heading off to Costco to buy a casket! They got some great deals out there on funeral accessories.”
I’m not in the market for a casket, mind you. And when I do die, I’d like to be cremated and scattered to the winds. Maybe by then, Costco will have a drive-thru cremation service.
