Auto supplier builds plastic caskets – reduces funeral costs

Funeral Plans – Plastic Caskets = low funeral costs

Move over Batesville, your funeral plans may include a new product by a Michigan automotive parts manufacturerthat is helping reduce funeral costs. Clarion Technologies, which specializes in manufacturing plastics for cars and home appliances, is now building caskets.

These plastic caskets will cost 30 to 40% less than the traditional ones, and are supposed to have the same durability as wood or metal ones.

So far I haven’t found an outlet that sells them, I have seen suggestions that by June 2010 they will be in the market place. I’ll keep you posted.

One of the things I have noticed is that they are producing some very beautiful caskets. The exterior is decorated with graphics such as marble finish. No other casket manufacturer has done this.  I wonder if they do racing stripes or may be a GT model?
