I built a casket back a few years ago, it was made from solid oak and a little bit of cherry. It turned out absolutely beautiful, the upholstery proved to be the real challenge, my wife and I used 22 yards of high sheen white satin to line the inside and the bottom of the lid halves. It was what is known in the industry as a "half couch," that being said, the lid is in two pieces. It was a lot of work, we ended up giving it away to a woman who passed away in our church who had no family and very little money. She had no idea about the casket and on her deathbed she said that the Lord had shown her that someone in the church was going to give her a casket to be buried in. She said that she was so afraid that she might be cremated because she didn't have the money for a casket. You can never tell me that God doesn't care for the little things just as much as He does the big things.

Are all of those casket bespoke to a certain customer? Or do they go to a retailer that has (albeit a bit grim) a show room? Admittedly it’s not something I have looked into the uk, but I do know that our caskets are not as flashy, after all the end customer will be buried or burnt, I mean no disrespect to the makers or the customers, the wife wants to be freeze dried like coffe is, then everyone will receive a coffee tin (new of course) with her name on it saying, instant Suzi , just add water.

Let it burn down. Grandma and my father worked for this company. I grew up without a father home growing up because he worked the night shift. As a very young child I took tours of the factory as often as I could just because I wanted the same career my father had. I job shadowed for this place in high school it's achieved in the local paper. Applied so many times I lost count. Remember getting turned down after 2nd interview at the age of 24. It hurt so hard the grief and frustration made me cry all the way to new Mexico driving a big rig because there was nothing else to get to do here. Eventually lost my mind and went insane. One day I snapped and maneuvered the trailer wheels afire and off onto a few illegal immigrants. I lost my sanity and will to live because of being denied the chance to have something rare. Words can't decribe but this company has some admirable benefits that are rare and non momentary something 8 years of college cannot guarantee.
