I, for one appreciate the effort. That casket alarm is totally bizarre. No one gets buried alive anymore unless they're turned into some sort of undead creature. Then they can damn well stay down there.
There's all sorts of weirdness marketed to mourners. When my mom picked out my dad's coffin the experience was a bit surreal. A couple of months later she picked out her own coffin and planned the service well in advance so that one of her more histrionic relatives (my brother) didn't request the robin egg blue coffin and multiple days for viewings.
Totally agree with you about the trip to an exotic locale. 'Cept I want to spend the money before I'm gone. Don't be sorry! Let's have fun while I'm still here!
