“Departed Department”

Wal-Mart has begun selling coffins and urns on its website. Their own employees without healthcare may prove to be their best customers.

Some say it’s not a good match. Shopping at Wal-mart doesn’t even preserve the dignity of the living.

Wal-Mart expects to do well with the product line, which allows for returns of the items if they are new, but not if they are used.

The company thinks selling online makes the most sense, because it isn’t something you need to try on.

It makes sense for the business and the grieving family. Their motto is, “Your loss is our sales gain.”

Also, buying online is a lot less awkward than pushing a cart up to the register with a casket, a blender, and a box of condoms.

A Wal-Mart casket might be a smart consumer choice, but it does put a morbid spin on the stores “Faded Glory” brand.

When you get the casket delivered, it is ready to use. You just have to peel off the “Roll-back” sticker.

The retailer has a nice selection of quality urns, but if even these are too pricey, you can always check out cheaper options in the lawn and garden department.
