Thread: Casket love

Tweet

I got a real casket for my Dracula production! I'm totaly excited! I should get it in some time this weekend and I'll post some pictures for you guys. Also I belive we're getting another towpincher coffin to add to the additional one we already have. So thats 3 coffins!!

Cool ! Where'd you get it ?

Another school. They got it from a funeral home so its the real deal. Lynn, it's nice to see someone else on the forum at 11:30! lol

theres usually a few of that pop in now and then !

I just bought my 5th (see photo). I already had two open toe-pincers, 1 large, insulated "coffin cooler", and 1 ready-to-animate lidded casket.

The one in the photo is not the exact one I just bought, but VERY close. Different handles.

Technically, this is my 6th. I bought one at a rummage sale a couple of years ago, but later disassembled it.

Its gorgeous! wow. Six? Thats immpresive. And you got one at a rummage sale? Some rummage sale!

O.K. I don't have one realy coffin So How much do these things go for? If you have six you must have invested quite a bit huh?? I'm not sure I could afford one and where do you guys keep all of these coffins. I mean its not like they collaps like the cardboard ones

A real hard wood one like the one I'm getting goes for about $ 3,500. But others can be around $500 or so. Just do what I did and search for local funeral homes online and they should have a type of casket catalog so to speak. They usually have a picture and the price for the casket. Lucky for me mine was donated and I didn't have to spend a dime. Also sometimes funeral homes will have caskets that have defaults like cracks or wrong orders that you can purchase for a bit cheaper. Sure caskets don't fold up into storage but hay, you can store props in them. Its kinda like a twofer!

Could be a 3fer when it's your time to go, why not customize it while you've got the chance.

I've heard that the big box stores are thinking (trying ) to get into selling coffins. That would really force the prices down.

When I go, I want a plain old pine box

spooky mama, they keep them in the basement. nice place to sleep. why else do you think they are on this post after dark? heeheehee
