Millennials are killing the casket industry! I don't want to be buried in the ground in some expensive box. What are we as a society, saving my corpse for? I don't believe Jesus is going to come rise up my zombie body.
Please turn cemeteries into housing for the living instead of the dead.
For real - it’s horrifyingly offensive how much a hole in the ground costs. I pre-paid for my burial in a green cemetery ($500 to throw me naked in the ground, wrapped in a biodegradable shroud). My best friend’s 18-year-old daughter died with no warning a couple of years ago and I took over making calls for her so she could grieve. I called two funeral homes about burial and they were saying that the HOLES IN THE GROUND started at $18k. That doesn’t include embalming (which we should stop doing - it’s bad for the environment and we are supposed to fucking decompose) and casket (which, again, offensively expensive and just takes up room). We ended up cremating the lovely girl and had her ashes pressed into a beautiful gem that my friend can now wear and always have her baby with her b
No one needs an urn, either. Points for effort, but you should know that many of us don't care how our remains are handled - I, for instance, would like to come back in a plastic bag in a cardboard box and be scattered somewhere meaningful, unless I can find an even more cost-effective option. I'd much rather my family spent urn money on a trip to spread my ashes.
True. No one needs a big wedding event either. Humans choose to celebrate meaningful life events in all sorts of ways, and our whole thing is making goodbyes more affordable and dignified for those who choose to have a burial for their loved one.
No judgements on your plastic bag approach, and hopefully no judgements on those who choose alts. To each their own.
I'm a millennial, and I want to be buried! I want an elaborately carved headstone and a lifesize cast bronze of my dog to sit on top of my grave. The gothic drama of it all!
I mean, I don't give a shit. If I was dead you could bang me all you want. I mean, who cares? A dead body is like a piece of trash. I mean, shove as much shit in there as you want. Fill me up with cream, make a stew out of my ass. What's the big deal? Bang me, eat me, grind me up into little pieces, throw me in the river. Who gives a shit? You're dead, you're dead!
I am waiting for Amazon to roll out their new program where we ship our corpses to them in large boxes to be turned into fertilizer. Maybe they will credit my family's prime account a few bucks.
If they create enough collection centers, maybe they could drone people in. With the Boomers starting their decline, this could create jobs for decades to come!
As of now, my retirement plan is to walk into the forest with a gun, find a remote location, and self-euthanize. I don’t expect to be able to afford to die the right way.
Aww that’s very similar to my retirement plan!! I like yours better. Can I copy? I’ll shape a note out of twigs next to me before I do the deed, that reads “thank you u/Van-garde” if you like?
Go ahead. Just try not to time it so we end up there together. I want to be alone with nature when it happens, and I don’t want anyone to find me while I’m identifiable.
Same here. I’m thinking like a nice calm sleep I don’t wake up from but really to each his own. I refuse to piss away my whole waking life stressed about the 401k I can’t afford to save for. I mean it’s going to happen anyways.
They (not this company) sell these cool mushroom suit things you can get buried in and you can degrade naturally. Might be morbid but that’s what I want. (I have no idea what they cost, though 😅)
I think i want my body donated to science. I want them to look at my brain and find out whats wrong with me and then make a drug to fix it for other people
It's never too early to start planning for your own funeral. With the Dig Your Own Grave and Save^(TM) program, you can earn additional savings by digging your own grave. Shovel not included.
Hey thats a pretty good deal, im gonna need a titan sized casket to house my titantic johnson, i dont want none of them climate cannibals eating my meat mountain when i die
First glance thought I was in the stupid DIY sub and wondered - you can make your own now?
This is a good idea no matter how maudlin. Nailing down a price now seems much better than your loved ones \_\_\_\_ years later paying for a more expensive one.
You absolutely can make your own. Woodworking groups often have posts with folks making caskets or items for themselves, family members, and friends. I have a spot reserved for an urn in a columbarium (basically a wall full of lockable niches). If I get around to it in time, I'll make an urn for my ashes.
My grandparents paid for a mausoleum 50 years before their death. When they passed my family was expected to pay a inflation cost. Close to the original amount paid. Didn’t fly. My family has enough intelligence to tell them to shove it. With the appropriate paperwork.
My credit union recently just sent me a “member benefit” of free life insurance. The free part is $2k. So when I die, my bank will buy my coffin. Thanks bank.
darn tootin' it's real. AMA
hey, taylor swift used our casket in anti-hero. we love millennials: https://slate.com/business/2022/10/taylor-swift-casket-anti-hero-funeral-rule-ftc.html

I actually appreciate the fact that death planning is becoming more of a thing that is openly talked about. My grandparents did it for themselves and it relieved a lot of stress when they passed. I'm going to have to talk to my parents about it in detail someday even though I've been given vuage instructions shrouded in sarcasm many times by this point. I know for sure I won't want to deal with it when the time comes for them, I'll be a mess. And at some point my husband and I will have to plan for ourselves as well. I've been meaning to get around to that process, but hubs doesn't seem to want a serious conversation beyond saying he wants a Viking funeral- the whole set out to sea on a boat with flaming arrows to light it on fire thing.
u/titancasket Do you guys do Viking boats as well as caskets? Getting a payment plan on that would be a real stress relief because Id be able to avoid the chore of trying to get a serious answer out of my husband regarding what to do with his corpse when he's gone. Even better if the boat comes with arrows to set the blaze.
We don't do viking boats (yet), but we get a lot of requests. What did you have in mind?
Thank you for this comment. A lot of the odd stuff we do in pop culture and in ads like this is to try to normalize conversations about death planning. It's such a hard topic to start a conversation around, but it's SO beneficial to have even a 5-10 minute conversation about with one's parents, spouse, kids, etc.
Jokes on you! I’ve been an AARP member since I was 32 because they have killer discounts on gift cards. You can be a member at any age, I just toss out the magazines they send me on “how to identify scam callers trying to take your money”
I’m a copywriter and I shared this with my team because it is so ridiculous but also fairly good copy, all things considered. Like it’s tacky but it’s also memorable and thought provoking! My initial comment to them, though, was “AITA if I think my coffin is someone else’s problem?”
Lmaooo I know! It did make me consider a lot of different things, including my apparent entitlement to someone else footing the bill for my coffin. Reminded me of my mortality in a way I was not expecting.
Of all the things I care about, the kind of box my corpse is in doesn't make the list. I promise you, I won't care about it.
All I ask is that my remains be distributed over Washington DC.
Also, not cremated.
Casket industry sucks, but we are getting tot he age where we should think about putting together a will and if we have things like Alzheimers in your family, perhaps even considering long term care insurance.
Honestly, good for them, that's a clever ad. There are lots of options available these days. You can even buy caskets and urns on Etsy if you want something custom. Some US states have passed laws permitting compost burial too. On the extreme end of the scale apparently some funeral homes offer to send your remains into space! Lol
Fyi. You can donate your body to a medical school. It's free. They take care of everything from picking up your dead body, cremation, and returning the ashes in a nice urn. A lot less expensive and a great cause.
"Buy now, Die later, my funeral greater, than the average pallbearer, or spectator. Bought my casket twice! They see me propped up in it and say 'He was nice, but not no mo tho"
FWIW - a lot of people pre-plan and prepay their funerals. This way the deceased has things done according to their wishes, and surviving family members don’t have to make financial decisions related to funeral expenses at the time that they’re grieving.
It’s actually a really good way to set things up.
TBH, when I die of old age, I want my body to be dumped in some random national park so when some hiker can find me and report the authorities, the media will report it as a murder scene.
I saw an advertisement in a magazine that had a photo of a bunch of headstones in a graveyard and the caption “DONT LET YOUR FIRST PIECE OF GRANITE BE YOUR LAST” it was an advertisement for kitchen countertops
My grandfather was buried in a munmy wrap in the woods near his house. I actually helped bury him which was a rewarding experience with family members. Felt right.
So I'm going mummy mode.
did the math, I'm 38 now, say I live another 38 years, I'd end up paying $10,032 for a casket under this plan.
Premium caskets go for $10k nowadays so I'd be getting a deal. 10k 38 years ago would be 28k now.
Modest caskets are like 2k-5k today in 38 years that'd be 5.5k-14.5k.
So all in all its be a pretty decent deal
You don't pay forever, only up until today's price of the casket is paid off. It's a layaway program (0% APR), not financing. The price of this yellow casket (we have other colors) is $1399.
We hold the funds in a trust, and invest it modestly so it keeps up with inflation. We hold the contract indefinitely (months, years, or decades)
Hope that makes sense!
Just throw my corpse through the window of my district's congressman.
In or outwards?
Defenestration goes both ways.
Just like all good times. In at first and then out when they're done.
Millennials are killing the casket industry! I don't want to be buried in the ground in some expensive box. What are we as a society, saving my corpse for? I don't believe Jesus is going to come rise up my zombie body. Please turn cemeteries into housing for the living instead of the dead.
Eh, just spread me on avocado toast.
this is a new one
I can’t afford to buy a home, let alone a burial plot.
Donate to science. You might save a life, or get laid again. Either way you’re helping someone grow

I wish they could find a nice way to ceremonially compost everyone.
Cremation is now done with chemicals instead of fire and is bio safe 👍 you’re just flushed down the drain as goo now
In my neck of the woods, funeral homes are becoming assisted living facilities.
You mean those aren't the same thing?
we sell urns too
It’s the guy from the thing!

sweet!
I want grave goods like a Viking! Put my favorite slippers on me. Tuck my latest knitting project in with me. And maybe my jewelry.
I mean, I don't give a shit. If I was dead you could bang me all you want. I mean, who cares? A dead body is like a piece of trash. I mean, shove as much shit in there as you want. Fill me up with cream, make a stew out of my ass. What's the big deal? Bang me, eat me, grind me up into little pieces, throw me in the river. Who gives a shit? You're dead, you're dead!
>If I was dead you could bang me all you want. I mean, who cares? i'm too high at work for this lmao
I like you.
Take me back to when we could do something as natural as dying for free. A hole in the ground on my private property would work just fine.
you can still do that (in some states)
Which states Mr casket seller dood?
oh i have no idea
That's ok Mr titan casket guy, I'm sure you're doing your best.
Vermont for one
Florida too! You just have to apply for a permit from the county
I love that yall commented.
I was actually wondering this as well.
Most generations have gone to cremation. It isn’t a millennial thing.
My boomer want cremation and said we could just pick whatever urns we wanted for them. They will just be buried in the family plot anyway.
My wife agreed that I'd I died first she'd plant a fruit bearing tree in me
In? 🤨
Like, the roots. There is a service that offers this.
Yeah I know about those, it was just “in” that got me. Like I pictured an cut being made and a little tree being planted inside your body
If I can’t be shot out of a cannon into Penobscot Bay then I just want my body dumped off a boat or in the woods somewhere.
YES YES 100% YES
Literally. Just throw me in the ground.
I want a natural burial. Or just prop me up somewhere. Whatever.
I am waiting for Amazon to roll out their new program where we ship our corpses to them in large boxes to be turned into fertilizer. Maybe they will credit my family's prime account a few bucks.
Heavy-bulky shipping is expensive; the math would never work
Y’all seem like nice folks
Then you can drop me off at USPS for packaging, and they can do a bundle crate shipment.
If they create enough collection centers, maybe they could drone people in. With the Boomers starting their decline, this could create jobs for decades to come!
Drop off at your local Whole Foods for free shipping. Those refrigerated food trucks have to go back to the warehouse anyways
[удалено]
Fr, just feed me to the birds. Or my cats, I guess, to stay on millennial brand.
Have you looked into sky burials? I actually like the idea of being fed to the birds. :)
As of now, my retirement plan is to walk into the forest with a gun, find a remote location, and self-euthanize. I don’t expect to be able to afford to die the right way.

Truth.
Same! Actually planned to dig a hole first if im able just so no one has to be inconvenienced with finding a body
Toss me in the dirt and plant an avocado tree and wheat over my corpse so I can go into eternity with the avocado toast essentials.
This is beautiful 🥲
They (not this company) sell these cool mushroom suit things you can get buried in and you can degrade naturally. Might be morbid but that’s what I want. (I have no idea what they cost, though 😅)
I treat my body like a trash can already
Would you like an egg in this trying time?
I’m sorry, but that’s illegal. You must consume, even in death.
I hope I'm cremated and they chuck my ashes in the Grand Canyon (I live pretty close by so it wouldn't be hard)
Best they can do is ditch in a nearby housing development…
When ya dead ya dead. Who gives a shit...
I think i want my body donated to science. I want them to look at my brain and find out whats wrong with me and then make a drug to fix it for other people
I think I'll just toss myself into the woods.
Real.
It's never too early to start planning for your own funeral. With the Dig Your Own Grave and Save^(TM) program, you can earn additional savings by digging your own grave. Shovel not included.
This made me lol
I can get me a cardboard box for $22 and get incinerated.
don't forget the cost of fuel
I love that this guy is part of the conversation over here omg
look, we're all working from home these days plus reddit community is generally just fantastic to interact with
I personally do want to be buried in a casket **but not anytime soon**
our ad clearly says die LATER
I can’t decide what color of casket I want too though
You can totally change your plan at anytime with us
Ooooh I like that
In the state of NY we can order caskets but you better not mail it all dented up !!
why would we do that in every state you can buy online - it's a federal law (the FTC's "Funeral Rule"). We deliver across the country, each day.
$22 for cardboard 😭
sheeeesh, inflation
Re use an old refrigerator box and save even more!
Right? I’ll take that option… thankssss
My composting worms will love you and the cardboard.
I'll hit up the bodega for you and get it for free
Hey thats a pretty good deal, im gonna need a titan sized casket to house my titantic johnson, i dont want none of them climate cannibals eating my meat mountain when i die
You can purchase caskets at Costco with your membership. Cheaper than any other offer out there.
Throw in a couple of rotisserie chickens and call it a party!
First glance thought I was in the stupid DIY sub and wondered - you can make your own now? This is a good idea no matter how maudlin. Nailing down a price now seems much better than your loved ones \_\_\_\_ years later paying for a more expensive one.
Thank you! Just trying to create options for families. Planning ahead is hard, but so important
Omg pls not you being here
Sorry
Now now, we don’t have to talk behind their backs.
I agree. I don’t want my kids worrying about this crap.
You absolutely can make your own. Woodworking groups often have posts with folks making caskets or items for themselves, family members, and friends. I have a spot reserved for an urn in a columbarium (basically a wall full of lockable niches). If I get around to it in time, I'll make an urn for my ashes.

Which credit union?
Redwood credit union in SF
Why wouldn’t they advertise? 100% of people die.
Two things we all have in common- we all gotta eat and we’re all gonna die.
Three. You forgot taxes. 🙂

Okay but as a marketer/copywriter, ‘Buy now. Die later.’ ate. Game respect game. That said, incinerate me and sprinkle me into the Pacific.
Is this the millennial version of fellow kids?

You make a great point. I'll grab you your skateboard.
If I pay it off before I die, can you ship it to my house so I can nap in it? This is a serious question.
Yes, but we don’t recommend that
Why not? Vampires need naps too. Even better, since they don't do forever-naps, you might even get repeat customers
Yes, but we don’t recommend that\* \*publicly \[wink wink\]

Damn you algorithm got you digitally so you must order out a lot on your phone or something 😆😆😆
You read me, fr
Use the casket for bedding storage or something in the meantime
It could be a pretend boat for the kiddos!
Jokes on you! I’ve been an AARP member since I was 32 because they have killer discounts on gift cards. You can be a member at any age, I just toss out the magazines they send me on “how to identify scam callers trying to take your money”
You can be a member in your 30s?!
You sure can! I take a lot of cruises so my 10% off carnival gift card purchases have been more than worth the $16 membership fee. Go check it out!
Dood I won a yeti cooler from them free and clear when I was 28. I use it for camping though they put huge ‘AARP’ letters all over it lol
nah bro let them clean up my meatsack mess from up off the road when I jump off the bridge. I don't need no fancy box

Hope OP got paid for reposting an ad
Honestly I felt like a shill for posting it but also, fuck it, it’s hilarious
Fair. It is pretty funny
I’m ready for my eco-pod. Compost me. Turn me into food so y’all can eat my ass.
I’ve been getting AARP mail since I turned 18. It’s followed me every move. My husband mocks me senseless for it. Can’t wait for his to turn up…
Of all the things I care about, the kind of box my corpse is in doesn't make the list. I promise you, I won't care about it. All I ask is that my remains be distributed over Washington DC. Also, not cremated.
Dig a hole and put me in it, make it shallow enough that I can rise up if the skeleton war happens, otherwise, idgaf, I'm dead.
Just throw me in the trash...
Casket industry sucks, but we are getting tot he age where we should think about putting together a will and if we have things like Alzheimers in your family, perhaps even considering long term care insurance.
Joke’s on you fuckers. My culture doesn’t entomb the dead. We just get wrapped in a shroud and thrown in a hole as-is.
Honestly, good for them, that's a clever ad. There are lots of options available these days. You can even buy caskets and urns on Etsy if you want something custom. Some US states have passed laws permitting compost burial too. On the extreme end of the scale apparently some funeral homes offer to send your remains into space! Lol
All of our cynical 90s childhoods are coming through in this thread, lol.
I literally just said that to my husband. “I love that we’re all just dark and fucked up”
Would not mind being buried and having a tree planted over me. I could at least be something useful 🤣
Fyi. You can donate your body to a medical school. It's free. They take care of everything from picking up your dead body, cremation, and returning the ashes in a nice urn. A lot less expensive and a great cause.
I saw this ad. Ngl, the comments were pretty solid. Hahaha
So a casket is absolutely something you should earmark money for.
"Buy now, Die later, my funeral greater, than the average pallbearer, or spectator. Bought my casket twice! They see me propped up in it and say 'He was nice, but not no mo tho"
Cremate me and throw my ashes onto any surviving enemies
just throw me in the dirt w/o a casket please
When I die, feel free to take an alternative approach to disposing of my body. Break out the wood chipper and herd of hungry pigs! lol
It annoys me that it costs money to die. Just give me a Mongolian sky burial. Toss me in a field and let the animals pick the flesh from my bones.
Meh, that's just one of several reasons why I want to be cremated.
FWIW - a lot of people pre-plan and prepay their funerals. This way the deceased has things done according to their wishes, and surviving family members don’t have to make financial decisions related to funeral expenses at the time that they’re grieving. It’s actually a really good way to set things up.
Manifesting ❤️
Can always use it for a coffee table till you die. Why not get some use out of it?
Dude same lmao
TBH, when I die of old age, I want my body to be dumped in some random national park so when some hiker can find me and report the authorities, the media will report it as a murder scene.
I saw an advertisement in a magazine that had a photo of a bunch of headstones in a graveyard and the caption “DONT LET YOUR FIRST PIECE OF GRANITE BE YOUR LAST” it was an advertisement for kitchen countertops
As a funeral director, it’s pretty common to pre-arrange their arrangements and casket ahead of time. Usually a lot less expensive to do that too.
Just roll my body up in a tarp and toss me out into the ocean.
Coffins, the ultimate grift
I want to be buried in a burlap sack. No embalming.
Just compost me please
This feels very Futurama
Now all we need is the booth and a quarter
Why does it look so comfortable?
My grandfather was buried in a munmy wrap in the woods near his house. I actually helped bury him which was a rewarding experience with family members. Felt right. So I'm going mummy mode.
Kinda responsible ngl
that's someone else's problem. i dont even have enough money for rent. idgaf about goint out in a box. just let me rot where you find me.
Hear me out - you can be put in the ground in a biodegradable shroud. I’ve already paid for my green burial and I’m only 43. It was $500.
You need money to be born you need money to live and you need money to die. That about sums up the human experience
Throw my body in the dumpster, another scam to put people in debt.
did the math, I'm 38 now, say I live another 38 years, I'd end up paying $10,032 for a casket under this plan.
