NEW YORK (Reuters) - From the cradle to the grave. You can buy baby food, groceries, computers, furniture and a whole host of things at Costco -- now you can even find caskets at some of its stores.

The world's largest warehouse club operator said on Tuesday it began a test program that offers caskets at two of its Chicago area stores.

Issaquah, Washington-based Costco Wholesale Corp., known for selling most of its products in bulk quantities, said the two stores are now offering 6 different models of steel caskets that are made by Universal Casket Co. based in Michigan.

1. Awesome

How cheap are they? I'd love to decorate with them.

3. They are around 800.

About the same as cremation.

2. I won't ever need one.

I am either staying in a box with Transylvanian soil......
or using the willed body program.
I'd say let the jackals and hyenas have a go at me too if they'd prefer.
do NOT believe funerals are more than a waste of money.
