...on the layaway plan???
Don't look for them on the shelves of your local Wal-Mart store, but Walmart.com is now selling caskets and urns at bargain prices online.
The Associated Press reports that Wal-Mart quietly added these items to its huge online selection last week. And it noted that Costco has been selling caskets and urns online as well. Who knew?
This is great news, we think, because the exorbitant prices charged by funeral homes have been one of our pet peeves for decades. Funeral homes are required by law to accept a casket you buy elsewhere -- and can't charge you extra if you do.
I agree that burial costs are too high and generally come at a time when people's emotions are raw and they could be vulnerable to making poor decisions.
So, will this give liberals more or less reason to hate Wal-Mart?
