Hey guys I'm based in LA and looking for an old (or new) coffin. I know its a really weird thing to ask for but if you are a studio or have one in your garage (ok kinda scared of you if you do but hey..) Please get in touch.
I only need it for three days, I will pick it up and return it in same condition.
thanks as always

Ask Don. I know he was a mummy once.
Have you tried Craigslist.com?
Michael
would you like the body still in it or should I remove that first ?

old or new? Do they sell them used?
I recommend you first try eBay - I did a quick check ... they have - and if there is nothing for yah there, contact a casket manufacturer and see if they offer factory seconds or blemishes.
Why don't you check out companies that rent stage props? In college I was the Prop Mistress for the show, Pippin' that required a coffin. It was a hard find and cost prohibited - since health laws prohibit the reuse of coffins unless the interior is stripped and re-fitted.Originally Posted by ArmpitLover
So we built one. A simple box was made and addition matching panels cut for the interior sides. Some foam rubber, cheap valour yard goods, a little botton sewing (pre glue guns) & Wa La - almost nice enough to put ole Aunt Edythe in.
Cool - Thanks guys.
Ebay - had already looked there is a guy who does 'em for $450 plus $150 DHL
Craiglist - checking today
Used or new - Oh DEFINATELY NEW, maybe old, but NOT USED LOL eeeww!

I would think it is to protect the morticians, and the next Family at a wake. When I arranged my Mother's funeral and cremation, I opted for that service. She'd have been Proud to know her burial cloths cost WAY more than the casket rental and that we sent her off in style. :angel:
Hahahahaha!!! I knew a guy back in Pittsburgh who had built a full sized coffin with a flat surface (you know, the old Dracula kind) and used it as a coffee table. Then he decided to throw his own funeral so he could enjoy it while he was still living. So we show up and there he is laying in it. All I could say was "Well, were are we supposed to put our drinks now?". LOL!Ask Don. I know he was a mummy once.
The invitation said that he was cleaning his chainsaw when it went off, so on his front porch he had a chalk outline of the body with half on one side of the porch and the other half on the steps. It was really funny.

LOL! I luv your stories Don, they're hilarious!
Heh heh, thanks Robin. I had a friend in college who was a drug addict from Philly. He'd had a really messed up life but had the most amazing stories. I was just in awe of him (in a sort of William S. Burroughs sort of way) and wished I could be a storyteller like him. I don't know if that caused me, subconsiously, to be open to incredible things or it was just in my nature. Or maybe it was just because I grew up in a small town where nothing ever happened. But I'm drawn to bizzare characters and situations, which makes LA the perfect place for me.LOL! I luv your stories Don, they're hilarious!
