Wal-Mart has started selling caskets on its Web site at prices that undercut many funeral homes, long the major seller of caskets.


The move follows a similar one by discount rival Costco, which also sells caskets on its site.


Wal-Mart, based in Bentonville, Ark., quietly put up about 15 caskets and dozens of urns on its Web site last week.

Prices range from $999 for models like “Dad Remembered” and “Mom Remembered” steel caskets to the mid-level $1,699 “Executive Privilege.” All are less than $2,000, except for the Sienna Bronze Casket, which sells for $3,199.

Caskets ship within 48 hours. Federal law requires funeral homes to accept third-party caskets.

The caskets come from Star Legacy Funeral Network, Inc., a company based in McHenry, Ill., that sells the same caskets for about the same price – some less – on its site, along with many others.

As we live, we are always trying to reach for a perfection. As a graphic designer, and I can’t deny that the search of perfection never ends. As in our daily activities, we demand the perfection in about everythings we eat, things we do, things we buy, things we wear, the perfection in the surprise party, wedding day, and so on. On the contrary, most times, we don’t get what we had wish for. Should we get disappointed? Shoud we stop looking for a perfection and just do ‘whatever’ attitude? How would you react?

A television ad commissioned by Singapore Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports is answering the question. I admit that this advertising campaign is one of the smartest and most touching advertisement. There’s a laugh, there’s a touch, it’s life! This must have been done with real love!

“these small things you remember, little imperfections that make him perfect”
