Searching around for information on septic systems and what to do when the fail (this’ll be an upcoming Dethroner post, don’t you worry) I ran across this awesome but morbid article from several years back: Homemade Caskets: You can create simple,beautiful and inexpensivewooden caskets.

The article gives you all the information you need to build a lovely, affordable casket out of a hardwood-veneered plywood. You or your loved one will rest in peace, snuggled warmly inside this bad boy (hated people can be thrown in a ditch.)

Mother Earth News followed up the article, FOUR YEARS LATER, with this: Country Lore: A Casket to Live For which only goes to show that creativity knows no limits.
