NU #8 Do It Yourself Casket by JL


Do it Yourself Casket

            It's just ironic that as we prepare for our future to have a wonderful life and we also prepare death. Isn't that sad? As much as people spend to have a wonderful life so as spending a big amount of money on your death. I just remembered an old joke that there was once a man trying who wanted to commit suicide because he thought that his life was useless then suddenly a relative appears shouting "Wag! Mahal ang kabaong!" isn't that pathetic? Until your death bed you think about these expenses.   Reality bites caskets are really expensive isn't it, so I'm thinking how it can be cheaper, affordable and less of a burden to poor Filipinos who can't hardly afford a decent casket. The idea is to have a Do it Yourself Casket where caskets can be assembled easily for those who intend to buy in a cheaper price. Since casket factories spend so much in transporting caskets, sending them in parts would save space and transportation cost. With this, the price becomes cheaper added to the labor cost you save in assembling it. Don't get me wrong the caskets will still look classy and decent it's just that it can be assembled by anyone who intends to buy caskets in a more affordable price. This will also address increasing production cost of casket factories and help poor families afford a decent death bed. 3
