Is Walmart desperate?

They are now selling caskets and urns...no joke

http://www.walmart.com/search/search..._query=caskets

http://www.walmart.com/search/search..._value=188_All

This is great news, we think, because the exorbitant prices charged by funeral homes have been one of our pet peeves for decades. Funeral homes are required by law to accept a casket you buy elsewhere -- and can't charge you extra if you do.

I heard about it on the news this morning.

Doesn't seem to be anything new though......apparently Costco does it too.

What if you aren't home when they deliver it? Are they going to leave it at your doorstep? LOL

A plain urn sells for $200 at a funeral home. Too bad they dont have a buy one get one free sale j/k

I can see a need for the urns. The ones at the funeral homes are so expensive. I have my mother's and father's cremains in plastic boxes (they are sealed) the crematory furnished, and would love to be able to put them into urns.

Their urns are nice and I bet a lot cheaper than a funeral home charges.

They truly want to be a ONE stop shopping. lol
I like the fact that they now offer FREE home delivery on refills of your prescriptions. Because the closet walmart for us is 50 miles away right now. So now I'm thinking I will start using them.

At least, it's online and you don't have to walk by them in the store.
