Hey, does Harbor Freight carry coffins?


Y'sure you'd want to go to your afterlife in a box made by them? Might
break when you're halfway there and well... :-p

Im reminded of a funeral I attended in the early 70s, where a friends
rather obese mom passed.

As the pall bearers were carrying her down the steps to the hearse,
for the last ride to the marble orchard..the bottom came out of the
coffin.

Mom beat the pall bearers to the hearse by a significant amount of
time.

thumpa thumpa thumpa thumpa thumpa (snip more thumps..about 25 stairs)
Crash.

She didnt seem to mind much, but the litigation went on for a few
years.
