Reading The Star this morning and noticed Walmart is now taking on the funeral industry. Is there anything they won't sell to make money?

Isn't making money the whole purpose of selling things?

Why shouldn't Walmart offer a lower cost alternative to people than the funeral home industry who gouge people for thousands when they're most vulnerable after the loss of a loved one? I see no problem with a Walmart coffin.
 
Sam is shifting in his own coffin! :eek: But not over this...

Walmart has not been the same since his kids took over the biz... They are still obviously a very successful company, but they are making decisions today that will have incredible negative repercussions for years to come.

The Walton kids lack the foresight that Sam had...

Valid point.

But based on that theory why haven't they got into adult industry?

Lots of money there. :p

Absolutely true. But they're still conservative, so they'd rather make money off death and violence than sex LOL. So they sell guns ammo and coffins, but no nudie magazines or porn.
 
Apparently Costco sells them too.
 
Problem is when you buy at Walmart you need to buy online and it takes 48 to receive the unit. Seems to me you might need it a bit quicker.

Exactly. The funeral industry has been taking advantage of people when they're vulnerable for way too long. You're almost made to feel that if you don't want to spend a fortune then you must not really love the person all that much. Same goes for some weddings.

A family member has a warehouse filled with coffins.

They ship or deliver as needed.

They are just the warehouse not the vendor.

But they do use my photo to promote the bear hunts they organize. :p
