I really don't see the point in buying an expensive coffin to just bury in the ground. Why go to such elegance? A simple wooden box would be fine for me, what the fuck am I going to care, I'll be dead. |

I wonder if it's similar to the beliefs the ancient Egyptians had that the more nice things you were buried with, the better your afterlife would be? |

I'd be willing to say it's more connected to Victorian England. They had some really elaborate death cultures, and I think there were some fees associated with burials that, if not payed, made your death less "important." I'll dig through some notes tomorrow and double check, I guess. |

Yeah, but Egypt came long before that. It could have indirectly been passed down. |

Those that believe in God probably don't think that. I think the majority of people in this country believe in some sort of god. You aren't taking anything with you when you die though, so there's no point to me to have a bunch of extravagant gifts. |

@Ronin, I believe in God, I'm just saying, maybe that's sort of the basis. I have no idea, just throwing random shit out there. |
