Walmart Caskets - Halloween Hoax or Real Deal?

Walmart is a place shoppers go for groceries, clothing, electronics, sporting goods, appliances and even eyeglasses in select locations. Known as a store selling just about everything, could Walmart caskets be a reality?

Rumor said Walmart caskets were a Halloween hoax. Others thought Walmart caskets were a Halloween decoration for those who wanted to play Dracula for the kiddies. But are Walmart caskets an actual item available along with the diapers, feminine products and socks?

Not exactly. Most people can't transport caskets on their own. Walmart caskets are offered online along with urns. Whichever your preferences, Wally's World will ship them to your home or funeral home in 48 hours. Guess what? There are no returns...unless, of course, your final resting place is damaged during shipping.

Are the prices low like other stuff at Walmart? You have a selection of 14 Walmart caskets under the funeral tab at their website. Prices start at $999 and go up to a little over $3,000. Caskets cost about 100 bucks to ship via FedEx to your doorstep. Imagine what your neighbors would think when that huge package arrives? Do you think they would ask your elderly neighbor to accept it if you weren't home?

I never imagined there would someday be Walmart caskets...though I suppose we all should have known.  As for a beautiful resting place...well, that's another subject.
