creepy Wal Mart Caskets comments stopped on Casket Page-Your funeral Guy

Comments and Reviews have been disabled at the Wal Mart selling Caskets page due to jokes and pranks.

Wal Mart selling caskets has brought quite a few comments at their site: strange creepy and bizarre reviews. Wal Mart has put an end to the mocking, jokes and creepy reviews at their casket selling page. This is a good thing for Wal Mart Customers. Walmart has build its brand on its pro customer promotions.

In the meantime strange comments and commentators continue on the Web both in the News and on the blogs.

But far from silly, the comments posted on Walmart’s casket selection were creepy — and creepiness, presumably, is not a trait Walmart wants its customers to see when they’re choosing a burial option for a loved one. Before Walmart shut down the caskets’ review section, Advertising Age documented a few of the reviews, like this one: “I picked one up to bury my cat in. Other than having room for about 100 cats, it worked well. Oh, had to dig a really big hole too, and that was rough on my back. But at least when my dog dies I can just open ‘er up again and stick him in too.”

Wal Mart selling caskets continues to go viral both in the news and the blogs. This is indeed a turning point for funerals in the United States of America. It spells a better future for the funeral Consumer. Funeral Directors an Funeral Homes as well as the traditional casket companies continue their opposition to third party caskets. Some quite vehemently.

President Obama will take on the role as Healer in Chief as he speaks at the Fort Hood Memorial Service on November 10th. It is a role that President Bush filled well, but unlike Obama his condolences were for the most part done out of view of the camera. Obama will be front and center in consoling the Fort Hood Shooting Victims Families.

In fact President Bush has already met with the wounded at Dover, quietly.

Here is a snippet on the Barach Obama Healer(Griever) in chief moment:

For the first time since winning the White House, President Barack Obama faces such a moment Tuesday at Fort Hood. It his job to offer comfort, if not answers, after the shooting that left 13 people dead and 29 wounded on the bustling Texas Army post five days ago.

Bush did His  Healer in Chief well whether it was 911, meeting with the Wounded from IRAQ, or meeting with the families of those killed in action.
