December 20, 2007: Sex sells!

[glatt]

If I had a terminal illness, and was making all the final arrangements for myself in order to not be a burden on my family, I can see getting a kick out of this advertising. But if my loved one died and I was frantically trying to line all the stuff up on short notice, I would be less receptive.

Gloomy Glatt.

If I see this ad on TV, then I'd be pissed.

Pretty fancy coffin. Cremation for me. Throw me in the ocean so I can travel.

I've read that you can be cremated and shot up in a firework-thats the way I want to go

That's what happens to most people and how many people know the name of even one coffin maker?

This way they get the brand before the public in a upbeat manner. Then when the frantic time is dropped on you, one name might prompt a glimmer in the back of your head.
I'll bet there normal sales tools, for the frantic people, are much more subdued.
