Looking for a hobby?

Why not learn how to build your own casket?
With the rising costs of funerals, a New York Mills family is lessening the burden by making personalized caskets at a discounted price.

They also offer classes where people can make their own caskets, and caskets that can be used as furniture, such as a table or bookcase, before the owner is buried in it.

"Oh, what a lovely armoire!"

"No! Don't open the..."

"Eek!"

Ever watch NCIS? Abbie, the forensics scientist, is so Goth, she sleeps in a casket.

I never saw more than a few minutes of the show, but I saw enough to notice Abbie. Strange.

I'm thinking I'll request cremation, in which case they can put my ashes in a plastic grocery bag and bury it in my backyard.

Because, you know, they take a thousand years to degrade, so I'll have a good, cheap final resting place.

Well, she does work for the Navy, Paco....

I never knew why I'd been saving up all those pizza boxes, until now.

I can't wait to start labeling them.

One of the ladies in my polymer clay guild said that she intended to make and decorate her own cremation urn with polymer clay. Since so many of us in the club have resolved to be cremated, we thought that was an excellent idea.

My mother asked to be cremated and spread over her beloved flowers in her yard. We did.

However, we no longer eat the morel mushrooms that sometimes grow in the yard. ;->=
