If you are able to carry a chair at the same time you need a casket, you technically qualify as a zombie.

You pay for the casket ahead of time, they just don't build it until you need it. But you get the chair right now so you feel like you're getting something for your $$$.
You can probably ask for the casket immediately but I don't think it would go well as I'm pretty sure the Amish can't abide a vampire living in their midst.

Yes.
Everyone I know knows that I want to be put in a cardboard box and/or just a large hole. I have zero interest in my meatbag when I'm done with it.
But I think maybe a high-quality coffin isn't so much for the person going into it as much as it's for the people still alive who want to feel good about sending them off.

It's not as bad as you think. Basically the way farm kids were raised in the 1800's. They work really hard, but they eat really well and grow up with an incredible work ethic. Honestly wish I had some of that (should be coding right now instead I'm on reddit).

don't laugh. I did once lose my job to a Mennonite developer when I first started!
He drove a sports car and was way cooler than me. That was the day I realized I didn't know anything about anything.
