The “pine box”

Jamie, Dad, and I all went to the funeral home.  One of the things Mom is being buried in a pine box.  The discussion of the “pine box” came up.  We thought her interpretation of the “pine box” meant for us to get something cheap because she was not going to “be there.”  The coffin we saw was great, only to find out the coffin was just to be used as a rental for people who wanted to be cremated and their body to be viewed in the casket.  We saw a pine box, but it was not what we thought Mom meant.  We ended up getting a coffin which was cheaper than the “pine box.”
