    Why are coffins so expensive? I’m going to start telling people to throw me into trash when I’m dead like Frank Reynolds.

      I have done some woodworking, and I’d have a difficult time providing a decent casket for $1149. These are obviously sourced from low labor cost areas.

        What if it’s just a human-shaped crate, just 6 rough, untreated planes of wood nailed together? That couldn’t be that expensive, right?
