Lots of Youtubes of that, both leaking goo and dead people in failed vaults. Thanks, algorithm.

Yeah. They're advertised as sealed, but seal absolutely nothing. The metal vaults are suppose to create a "bubble" by trapping the air over top of the casket. They eventually corrode enough to let the air out and water in. We called it "Charlie juice" when one next to the hole we were digging would pour out.

Helped dig graves my whole childhood (still do on occasion.). I laughed when the funeral director asked if we wanted to pay up for the sealed vault. He’s the only undertaker in town for the last 45 years. We know each other. We coordinate on a burial every 3 ish weeks. We both know it is t fucking “sealed”. You’re just being predatory during a time of emotional weakness. I was unpopular in that basement that day.
 
I’ll keep you guys posted as this plays out…. He text this morning…. She’s still alive….
I’m sure he’ll be in full casket make mode today!!!

The exact opposite of 486.

:laughing:

If they bury me in one of those costc0 totes I'll be happy, hell it's cheaper to buy a massive yeti cooler instead of a casket. Spend my insurance money on other things instead of a single use display case. Like cocaine, waffles, and hookers. :grinpimp:
 
On a side note, me and some friends borrowed a 1947 Chrysler Hearse to go to a carshow one weekend, the carpentery guy among us made a human sized coffin that fit perfecly in the back and lined it inside with plastic. A lot of eyebrows were raised when six guys carried it out, and opened it to take out ice cold beer from the ice inside.
 
I stopped over after work today…. It’s gonna be a lot simpler than I imagined…. I thought he was going old school style (think Dracula coffin) but it’s just gonna be square ::edit: rectangle::….. he made a plywood box and gonna cover that with 6” pine board…. Line the inside with some stuffed upholstered fabric…. 6 decorative metal handles… 3 on each side!!!!
He had his wife lay down in it to check fitting…..


:eek::eek::eek:

Plywood box is cut (rabbit joint???) so the lid and bottom will recess halfway into the box!!!!

Anyone ever done it??? My friend/business partner mil is dying…. Month’s back she told him, she wants him to build her a pine box casket!!!!

We were brainstorming this morning, ideas on construction and what funeral home regulations might be out there!!!! Not sure if she’s actually gonna get buried in it or just cremated….. sounds like there will at least be a viewing, as he was talking about a locking arm to hold the top up!!!!

Was she a fan of Clint Eastwood? And liked the practical nature of the coffin guy in fistfull of dollars? =-)
