Is there nothing they will do to make a buck?

Quite honestly, I don't have an issue with it. The traditional ceremonies that come with the passing of our loved ones are rediculously expensive and let's face it, a significant portion of americans continue to not prepare for it. Likewise, many folks that are left with the responsibility of preparing a respectful ceremony on their own dime simply don't have the dimes to do it, or do so and pay the long term price. I actually think WalMart is doing a great service by offering less expensive burials to those who can't (and really shouldn't) be affording them from more traditional outlets.

If I read correctly, they are not selling the burial,just the casket. The funeral homes will make up the loss in higher service fees.

Yes, and besides there will always be a segment of folks that simply won't purchase something like that from WalMart. No offense to the company, I'm just sayin. Some people drive Mazda's, some people drive Maserati's (sp?).
