Glenmore

Hey guys not to be morbib or anything like that. I'm looking for a simple pine box casket plan. Intend to make me a coffin for myself. Checked with the local funeral home and it was almost $1000.00 for a burnable coffin for me to get cremated. So I figured this would be my project for this year and put into storage when my beloved has to bury me. With all the health issuses that I have figured better be a little prepared for it. So I hope someone can help me out with this one.

Hi Glenmore

Not to be morbib but how about a match and a can of gas, in that way you only need to buy a putty knife and a dust pan ,and a jar maybe.. ( a dust to dust thing)

Plan - Infant Casket,just make it a bit bigger for you

Just as a side note,,,, I was watching the best show on TV called how -it's-made and they showed how they made Caskets,,,I was amaze how cheap they are made...they look great on the out side but real junk const.on the inside...cheap 1/4" plywood ver.and some pine...and tons of junk plastic hardware....saw dust (chips) in the bottom for the bed and some nice silk material on the inside and you have a $5,000.oo casket..

To be checked out. Some states hold hands with the funeral business. You actually have to "buy" a casket from a "authorized". licensed funeral home just to be cooked in.They even get you when you don't even know it. Good luck and I hope you don't need it for a long time. As a foot note. Hang on until December 21 2010. That is when the Aztec Calender says the world will come to a end. Who Knows??

nope going to make my own but I'm to check with regulations.

Here, Here! I have wanted to make mine for some time now. I hope it will be buried on my own property, but I have a long way to go before I accomplish that. Plus, I actually need to learn to make stuff with wood first.
Hank made one on King of the Hill.

Knowing you as I do Glenmore, I find it difficult to participate in this discussion, suffice to say that I hope it will have a use-by date that is a very long way off.

Well Harry not planning on using it for awhile but it will be done when it happens. Figured I can build one for about 50.00 instead of paying 1000 plus. Incrediable how they take you over even in death. Figured I got screwed all my life they aren't getting one over on me in death or my poor wife. After all she won't have to spend the money for this item she'll have more money to spend for the party she keeps mentioning.

For storage you might consider tacking the lid to the back. Standing it on end and adding a few of shelves. You could use it in a family room, foyer, bedroom - whatever.
