what up Theo what up Nick this is Daniel from Tucson now I know little Boosie
turned down the idea of getting into the casket making business but I wanted to
ask your mortician what is the most outlandish or extravagant casket you've
seen a customer walk out of your store with you know did that thing have some
spinners on it mm-hmm you know was it a translucent waterbed hitter I'd like to
hear about it anyways gang gang dang bro what they put in there with the most
extravagant casket you know what I'm saying something with some cat toys
hanging from the ceiling or you got you know you got something with a little
hot
tub at one end of it what's the wildest thing you put somebody in well be
honest
well well most of the time the people that are buying your real upscale caskets
are gonna buy either a bronze casket or a very fine hardwood such as
you know a mahogany that might be you know where that wood was imported from
africa and then depending upon the finish work that goes into it because you
know
whether you know it'd be flat top and you know part the finished parkade and
everything else that's that's a very expensive casket and then also you know
they've got some that are 48 ounce bronze you know kind of look like they've
kind of
they almost look gold almost you know and you can see like some of the
celebrities have been buried in
you know some of those like um I'm thinking of Michael Jackson and you know I
think um let's see
Whitney Houston I think was in a um was in like a millennium that that baseball
makes and so you know
they some places will use that as a selling point you know because the casket
companies used to
furnish a list basically every year every couple years of recent celebrities
and what caskets that
they used really uh-huh and what happened to that list you think I think that
you know as they've as
things have come come on they've just quit publishing it but you know for
instance there used there's a
company it's now owned by Batesville casket company but it used to be called
Marcellus casket company
and they made the finest hardwood caskets in the world and oh yeah amen and so
what they would do is
they would make um they would make these caskets and one of them was called the
president and the other
is called the president carve top and the difference between them is the one
that's the carve top
it has a lot of carvings on it but you know JFK and you know a lot of those
presidents were buried in
those two different caskets and so it was called the president carve top and
the president now when
Ronald Reagan died he was put in a Marcellus and it was called the masterpiece
and the reason they
called that the masterpiece was that because it had barbecue sauce in it that
casket was so big
that it would not fit in a standard burial vault and so you know of course
Ronald Reagan was put in a
mausoleum that was designed to where it would accommodate that casket but you
know that's
that's a little bit larger casket than your standard casket and so you know
that's that's
probably you know you see that you know we sell some mahogany caskets and if we've
got somebody that's
going to spend a lot of money most of the time they buy a mahogany casket
because the look of mahogany
you know it looks really good oh yeah and you know that's what oh god that's
what that's what they
want they like that warmth and the beauty of the wood some people find metal
whether it be any type
of metal to be more cold what rather than you know warm like woods so and how
pricey does that get
what's the priciest deal you guys have ever put in the ground man
probably you know somewhere over 50
you know 50k huh man and do people on average spend more money put burying men
or burying women
probably women because a lot of times um you know the men will care less but
now because they will say
you know because if you think about it most people are thinking well you know
of all the sacrifices mama
made and you know what mama did for you and everything else and you know daddy
always said just put me in a
in a pine box or throw me in the ditch or whatever but mama i mean this is mama
mama took care of you
every need you know we got to do a little bit better for mama yeah mama love
you yeah we got to do something
for mama mama and jesus always loved you theo yeah amen man so once you get the
body you got it you got
it embalmed what do you guys what other things you have to do to the body to
make it look presentable
if you're going uh open casket well we do their cosmetics and of course we'll
dress them in the
clothes that the family brings and sometimes that's suit and tie and sometimes
that's overalls and you
know flannel shirt whatever the family wants can you go full naked or not can
you go nude if you want
uh that's probably i'd be frowned upon you know because you know that we wouldn't
want to make some
people feel bad you know if they weren't you know as well endowed you know if
you were full nude and
you know they'd be like uh or might make them feel better about themselves you
know i just really don't
know it'd be interesting to get a look at that body fully nude at the end i
think it almost would make
it a little bit more like okay they're headed they're part of life than they
are like it's trying
to make them still look alive but you know you think about maybe maybe more
people have seen you fully
nude and more would expect that but most of the time you know they want that
image as close to how
they can remember that person so unless you know america's used to seeing you
fully nude they probably
would much rather see you with clothes on yeah yeah that's true i think and
especially if i'm going to eat
after yeah because you know a lot that's a big thing is you know the meal after
the funeral because you
know a lot of times either churches will host it or a family member will host
it at their house
and do you guys get invited to that or no sometimes and a lot of times we'll
get invited and if we're
not really busy then we'll go but you know sometimes you know right after this
funeral we've got another
one getting ready to start so we don't have time to hit up all those meals and
have you ever
accidentally had the had the wrong body in a cat in a closed casket no no
because we take we have lots
of procedures to make sure you know that we don't do that okay and then
especially since you know we're
a smaller town you know a lot of times we'll know the person and so it'll be
like oh yeah that's so
and so you know so randy that's randy so he goes in this casket that's theo he
goes in this casket
