This is the dream. Being so rich that you can sell a wooden box for almost a thousand dollars.

I mean coffins and ceremonial urns aren’t much cheaper.

They're a little fancier.

I think a basic pine casket wouldn't run for 1k

Sure, if you don’t value a persons time at all, nor care about the person you’re burying and just screw plywood together that’ll fall apart when you go and move it.

The material alone would be around $400. Two sheets of 3/4 plywood is $100.

It's one sheet of plywood, Michael, how much could it cost? 50 dollars?
