Don't want to buy a casket? A Russian undertaker with the grim name of Necropolis will soon offer its clients coffin rental. The company is so committed it has already applied for a patent.

“This is the first such service in Russia. The relatives of the deceased may borrow a beautiful, well-decorated casket for one or more days. After the burial or cremation it will be substituted for a plain one. We plan to launch this service later this year,” said the Commercial Director of Necropolis Ivan Moiseev.

The company will charge 10 percent of the coffin’s retail cost; the rental fee will range from $8 to $105 dollars per day, depending on the splendor of the coffin, he added.

Necropolis has also applied for another trademark registration. It will produce flat-pack caskets that can be easily assembled and disassembled without nails from five to six pieces.

That's an idea for cremation.
They have a club here where they make their own coffins and decorate it .
It's called the coffin club.

if it's cremation why bother with even a plain lane coffin

I'm going to decorate a coffee can for myself.

Necropolis lol
That is creepy, what about lingering smell?

A bit whack a doo for my taste

i dont think the dead will mind the smell
oh wait
thats not what you meant
<smurk>

I don't blame the guy. Why not make some money on a silly thing because peeps are going to continue spending it. IMO...Peeps are absolutely CRAZY for wanting to spend thousands on freakin gold and silver bobbles for the deceased!!!

When I had to arrange the funeral for my Husband, I told the lady "he was very down to earth and not flashy...I will not spend good money on extravagance that He would disapprove of anyway". I absolutely believe He would have awakened and strangled me for spending our heart-earned money on such silliness.
As it was, He was being cremated so the funeral home simply "lent" a simple coffin for the funeral.

Cremation in Russian Federation lost its popularity, due to increasing influence of the Russian Orthodox Church and growing numbers of people devout to this way of Faith that forbids cremation.

If only they had a Costco.
Some Costco locations actually sell coffins.

they already offer this service at our local funeral homes.
renting a coffin costs a hundred dollars less than buying the cheapest one.
