May 17th, 2017: Coffin Club New Zealand

Pine down here is cheap and low quality. My father was a woodworker and he loathed pine; when he died, with my brothers we went shopping for a coffin. We had a blast joking about getting him a half finished pine coffin, and throw in some tools so he could fix it in-place (he always made mistakes measuring things and had to fix them on customer's premises.)

At the end, and after a lot of jokes, we went for a damn fine coffin in the best wood available :-)

(Love you, dad)
