The Golden Casket

Many people think the golden casket is not a very popular item for the general public in this time of recession. When one thinks of this extravagant item, generally they usually think “Ancient Egypt.”

After all, in today’s day and age, gold is now selling for a thousand dollars an ounce. An entire chest made of bullion would be a bit pricey. However, if you have the money, why not take it with you? They say you can’t, but what do “they” know anyway?

Specialty companies can build a 14k or 14k plated burial box, based on your budget. Those looking to get buried in gold at a discount can look into the less expensive real trim around a traditional wooden structure. People looking to balance green burial and a golden exit can always consider a coffer creation made with metallic paint instead. This option can be more practical and in the end you won’t have to worry about getting woken up from your eternal sleep by grave robbers.

Think of poor king Tut. His fancy tomb not only got him dug up, but put on display on a museum road show. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to end up traveling when I’m a few hundred years old. It would make me dead tired!
