ejcapulet, have you ever had to deal with the costs of a funeral? From a funeral home, caskets run around a $1,000 minimum. Even cremation urns start at $400-$500. Unless you’re dealing with someone who has made all their arrangements beforehand, the funeral industry has you over a barrel and is profiteering off grief. You’re dealing with a recent loss and you have very little time to make decisions that involve thousands of dollars. Having a low-price alternative like Costco is a good thing. To me, they’re not stooping - they’re extending a helping hand to people in a difficult time.
Let me know when you lose a spouse or someone similarly close to you unexpectedly. Maybe my own experience will let me help you though it.

they’re stacked right next to the pick-axes, shovels and spades.

Unfortunately it is coming to this.
Next it will be urns for the ashes.
