Default Do-It-Yourself Coffins

I was looking up wood working plans and I came across this book.

You could probably build one cheaper than you could buy one. Those things are not cheap.

Funeral home expenses are pretty high up there.
They're just like vets. Pulling at peoples heart strings
while in their time of need. Come to think of it, I think
mechanics behave in the same freaking way.

Sorry. Back on topic. Homemade caskets.
A pretty good idea if you're handy that way.

I'd just as soon be tossed on the nearest pile of orchard trees being burned. but dang, do people really get coffins for there pets?!?! shoulda seen that coming, though, as there are psychs, designer clothing, desert and party stores just for pets...all my dogs have been turned to fertilizer when they're done!
