$700 / 30 = $23.33 a day to sleep in a wood box... brilliant!
And when your are done, you get to sleep in one for free.
lol someone has never bought a coffin and it shows.
Just throw me in the trash
Yes, you are right. But no way in hell am I going to pay for my own coffin.

Dying isn’t free either
