    Does anyone have connections to an egg carton making factory?

    If so, how difficult would it be to use the papier mache stuff in a different mould, and churn out a few egg carton coffins? It wouldn't cost much, surely?

    Part of the spiel - "Egg cartons have a long history of protecting the most delicate items. With this new innovation, you don't have to worry if the pall bearers drop it..."
