Thanks for the tip. The St. Meinrad's "monastic caskets" look grand. I should probably just order one now, since that's what I'm going to want.<br /><br />And yet even here, I can't help noticing that their "traditional casket" (at a substantially higher price) includes things like "an adjustable innerspring mattress."

Oh my. I will probably pee in my pants remembering this when I'm in on picking out a casket some day in the not too distant future. <br /><br />All the funerals I've been at lately have been after cremations. Seems better than sleeping in a bordello for eternity.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.com
