One of the last callers I heard (before leaving my car on getting back to my
office) has a business of custom-built caskets that sell for less than the
funeral home ones.  He pointed out that it entirely is possible to build
your own.  He even has a brochure that tells people how to take care of the
whole process yourself (I'm guessing what he was describing involved
essentially serving as your own "funeral GC," managing the steps that others
would do).




I have actually seen where people have built their own caskets and used them
for coffee tables and wine racks, until they were needed.

Many years ago a Msgr. Hugo Pautler died in Clarkston, Washington.  The
Spokane Bishop gave a challenge to the Knights of Columbus to build a
suitable casket for the Monsignor.  They did, and after his funeral,
received 27 additional orders from parishioners who said, "If it's good
enough for Monsignor, it's good enough for me."
