Which one should I go with

[Buddha12]

I'm trying to decide which of these would be better to be put into for viewing when I'm passed away. Help me decide if you can as to which of these 3 is the best one as they all cost the same. Since I won't be able to actually see it when I'm in it, I think others should enjoy the view so which do you like?

Are you planning on passing away sometime soon, Buddha12?

[skaught]

Spidergoat hit the nail on the head. Coffins are far too expensive, and become a financial burden on a grieving family. Give the money you would spend on this casket to your family. Have them bury you in a plastic bag or homemade wooden box.

I always try to plan ahead, never know what tomorrow brings.

No, I'm paying for this ahead of my demise so that won't happen. But come on now, which is the better looking, I really need an outsiders viewpoint.

[skaught]

Well, whether you plan on buying it now or later is irrelevant, it's still money that could go to your family.

They all look the same to me...

Are you color blind? They are all different colors and have different linings. I want to spend all the money I have earned in my life before I croak because why should my family reap the benefits of my labors and blow my money on their lives?

[skaught]

Well, why blow money on something that's only going to be seen by people for about an hour and then be buried forever?
But if you insist, I guess I would go with the black one. The second one. It looks nice I guess.

Tying up real estate after I have departed is not on my agenda. Bake and shake will be the way of my passing. Throw a party at the ranch, find good homes for my horses and the rest of my assets I shall assign to those whom I deem respectful and good company, related or not.

Spidergoat even selected a 'classy' coffee can in that being known as a 'Smooth Master Blend' is kind of flattering, lol....

Here's an idea that's catching on... http://www.beatree.com/

If you're determined to go to ground in a box, then pick your own favorite color or draw straws on the matter would be my suggestion.

Sorry.

No help here on this one.

[NMSquirrel]

like spidergoat but with my own flavor..

[Shogun]

Why not use the money to enjoy life if you are not going to give it to your family or charity. I don't vote.for random cans, but maybe a gold plated box? I think it would be neat to have someone throw the box over a waterfall like the Niagara falls.

BTW, second one looks cool

I don't much like caskets, but I do like the color black. That's the best I can do for you.

I like the blue one, and I hope you've noticed that the people who suggested the coffee and peanut cans recommended blue ones. So that's three votes for blue, I suppose. For myself, I hope (years and years from now) to go down in flames so coffins aren't an issue. I'm more concerned about baby's needing a new pair of shoes. What I'd really like is to be fossilized, but what are the chances? Have you considered having your remains pickled or artificially fossilized in some way? Perhaps you could include preserved copies of all your posts - for the benefit of mankind, I mean, of course.

I tend to agree with you. There is a company that can take human remains and covert it to an artificial diamond. I'd like to do it but it's out of my price range.

Perhaps a modestly priced taxidermist? How much can sawdust be?

Are we talking just a head mount for the wall or a full body mount. I have to tell you that would weird me out just a bit. But would be hard to beat as a conversation piece.

[spidergoat]

Fact is, I just saw The Big Lebowski. No one got that reference?

In my casket, I think within a few thousand years, it will just deteriorate away and become part of the earth once again. So while that link does give me something to think about , I'm already on that track only at a slower pace of returning everything back from where it started.

Yes, I noticed the blue from the posts too. It seems that it is the popular color so far and I do think that blue is a very nice color to be looking at when viewing the deceased in a box. I will give that color careful attention when coming to any conclusions.

Pickling doesn't interest me nor fossilization but thanks for the suggestions.
