Can't remember if I posted this or not. If I did already, sorry. If I didn't then read on! I got a casket! Yes an honest to goodness full size bury in the dirt casket! My husband was working (actually doing his job for a change LOL) next to a junkyard. In a pile of debris sticking out was a casket. When one of the junkyard guys walked past he asked him about it. Of course the guy was flabbergasted that he would want it or care about it but he told my husband he could have it for 10 cents a pound. That was on a Friday. So we made arrangements to go pick it up on Saturday morning. It's funny everyone else was dumping stuff at the junkyard and there we were picking something up. So we pulled in and weighed the van and then picked it up, then pulled out and weighed again. Now we got it home and I figured I would put it under the house right away after I cleaned it up. Do you know where it is still sitting a week later? In the middle of my living room! I love it. It is a steel baby blue 22 guage with silver handles. Gorgeous.
It just needs a little cleaning. All the bedding is there, including the spring bed. The cover for the lower lid is inside, the pillow is there, the edge covers are pushed inside. I'm going to take some turtlewax to the top and hopefully that will take some of the scratches out of it.
It was actually used for about 2 or 3 hours. The family wanted a viewing but most don't realize you can't use this type of casket for creamation. Federal law prohibits says they have to dispose of it. Even though it could be reused. It's ridiculous.
Now for the sad part.
My husband bought me a hearse for Valentines. It has some damage and I need parts for it. When he found the casket he got to talking with the junkyard guy and the guy said he thought they had a hearse in the yard. He called the office and found out that it had been crushed. Come to find out it was the exact match to my car. I could have had the replacement parts for my car. I could have screamed bloody murder when my husband told me that.

because the level of talent here is simply amazing! And Madam Hooch's JOL car is my dream car ( a sage green Taurus just doesn't scream Halloween!). I'm happy if my grave stones don't fall over every year...and no, I don't make my own...they're Target specials. 
My co-workers think I'm the Halloween bomb but they do not know (and will never know if I get MY way) about this website and all of the talented folks on it.
