"From birth 'till death, we'll be here for you, offering you merchandise for the lowest possible prices."
[quote]Prices range from a "Mom" or "Dad Remembered" steel coffin for $895 (£540), to a bronze model at $2,899.
The retailer is allowing customers to plan ahead by paying for the caskets over 12 months for no interest. They can be dispatched within 48 hours.
Catering for cradle-to-grave needs, Wal-Mart already sells everything from baby wear to engagement rings.
A spokesman for the supermarket giant, Ravi Jariwala, said the new coffin range was "a limited beta test to understand customer response".
The retailer is offering caskets at prices that undercut many funeral homes, say correspondents.
But an industry spokesman said it was not unduly concerned about Wal-Mart's move, because he said the firm could not offer bereaved families the human touch.
Pat Lynch, of the National Funeral Home Directors Association, told AP news agency: "There's no question in my mind as a funeral director for nearly 40 years that the most critical element is the human contact." [/quote]

Here in norcal there were literally protests and shit about Walmarts getting built.
You know, this could be a Halloween prank.
But, then again, Wal-Mart has no sense of humor.

I didn't mean that to sound rude it's just that most of northern California isn't really struggling to get by, dependent on the mom and pop stores they own
I wonder how the product reviews will look like.
Where are the cheap ones?

Get a black one, replace it with my bed. Sleep in it.
Shit'll be so cash man.
