A teenage boy and his mom come into the library looking for information on how to build a CASKET...aka...coffin...
You would not believe how many Internet sites there are about DIY funerals. http://www.deathonline.net/what_happens/body/diy_funerals.cfm
It boggles the mind.... Here's some fun facts:
A typical funeral costs $5,000, not including burial plot and tombstone.
Cremation usually costs $700, including the required casket.
Only Eight states in the U.S. require the services of an undertaker.
Ramsey Creek Preserve in Westminster, South Carolina is the home of the Nation's first all-natural DIY cemetary were your loved one must be buried in a biodegradable casket and embalming is not permitted.
There's a man named Out-house Charlie who makes DIY coffin kits that range anywhere from $800 - $3,500.

Out-house Charlie? What the hell kind of name is that? He's probably the weridest man ever born. Why the heck would anyone want a DIY funeral? Hell if I go to all the trouble of dying could you atleast spare a couple dollars for a casket, is that to much to ask? Good lord! Love ya you sexy library lady!
