Wicker coffin from the Coffin Company
Coffins have been coming up for sale on eBay from time to time for a few years, but not in a dependable flow. That may be about to change. Carl Marlow’s Coffin Company has a nice selection at keen prices and I guess he’s in there to stay. You can always tell which is a Carl coffin. He likes to photograph his standing up.
And, I see, my old friend Granlite of Clickfunerals is back with a couple of nice ones plus a good selection of ashes urns. I last corresponded with Granlite over a year ago. He/she has been a bit on and off but is back, I hope, to stay.
Carl’s prices look pretty good to me. The opening bid on his two wicker ones is £195, the Buy It Now price £275. He has a trad oak veneer, lined, with an opening bid of £175 and a Buy It Now price of £235. There’s an additional delivery charge in all cases of £30.
But Clickfunerals are offering a lined oak veneer at an even keener price: £199 + free delivery. The product description leaves a heck of a lot to be desired and does not necessarily inspire confidence.
Undercut that, though, and you’re in business.
Coffin Co here. Clickfunerals here.
hmmmm oak vaneer = horrible glues, really heavy, no usable handles so 6 creepy blokes in cheap suits and squashy shoes bearing your Mum in and then sloping off for a fag.
