I was a funeral director. People rarely provide their own caskets even if they have the legal right to. Nobody wants to manage the purchase and delivery of an expensive product right after their loved one has died. Funeral homes will also make it difficult by requiring delivery at certain times, inspection by the purchaser at time of delivery, and requiring the purchaser also get liability insurance on the casket.
More like falling apart while someone else is carrying your dead ass. Could you imagine poor uncle ted having his little toe smashed by a corner when a handle rips off… Or a lid lock that doesn’t work and it springs open when they dropped you and now nanna can see your bum since funeral homes generally dress the remains but cutting the backs of the clothing open so it can all be slipped on from the front and don’t have to roll you over… But you did when you flopped out like a fish.
A reminder to everyone that Costco sells caskets: https://www.costco.com/funeral-caskets.html
And every funeral home legally has to allow you to purchase the casket elsewhere per the FTC: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/ftc-funeral-rule (That doc also has a lot of other useful tips in it.)

Can’t have the casket failing and killing the occupant. /s

Nice try Costco. Your casket sales are down and now the guerilla marketing starts.
