THE "TERRORIST" AND THE MEMENTO MORI

This ad came up when I chanced to look at the Chicago Tribune's story about Jose Padilla.

DIGNITY IN THE MIDST OF DISASTER.

The EveryBodyTM Coffin provides response organizations with an alternative for managing mass fatalities by using a recognizable and traditional solution to a nontraditional problem. This unique coffin, with its patented, all natural wood design, allows for flat storage, assembly without tools and efficient stacking. For around $200, municipalities, hospitals and others now have an option when dealing with this public, yet personal issue.

Available in two sizes:
Large (MC4042): $195.00
Small (MC4043): $185.00



They REALLY want to keep us from thinking "outside the box" here.

I'm starting to think this is a hoax. On the product information sheet "forklift compatible" is (if you'll forgive the expression) a dead giveaway.

Being a pine box and/or cremation kind of guy, I wonder if I could buy one, stain it mahogany, store records in it and use it as a coffee table until the Grim Eventuality presented itself.

But I do not want to be stacked!

I looked at the rest of the website, and it is most certainly NOT a hoax.

This stuff is almost too ghoulish.
