Host_John: pushing bronze not copper caskets
Host_John: same price as copper
Fred-RI: had a copper sale last week
VicS: I thought I heard the big casket mfgs were moving away from copper
Host_John: I think they are Vic
brud has joined.
dave_b: if you go with a person with initial T as compares with a B then u get what u pay for
VicS: They can produce bronze for about the same price
Host_John: a very popular copper is offered at the same price in bronze, so we take it in bronze
kj has joined.
VicS: I know the unit John. Why not get it in bronze? makes sense to me
dave_b: John if you get a big discount on one manufacturer do you pass it on to consumer of just pad the pockets?
Host_John: we make up according to our cost
angel: Does anybody want to talk about the bailout? They should have given all that money to us American citizens, then watch the trickle up theory.
Host_John: is we save the customer saves
dave_b: my hand is out angel
fluidpusher has joined.
angel: Your hand is out but your wallet just got taken
Host_John: it is sad how wallstreet are bigger crooks than the politicians
VicS: Wood caskets sure have been going up in price
angel: You think? I say it's a draw
brud: labor intensive
exeterrr has left.
dave_b: heheheh u got that lets fire all the politicians they allowed it
angel: Has anyone out there had trouble with tight banksters?
VicS: But one major casket company found a way to produce them less expensive, but they too are climbing
brud: all they did, as have many suppliers, is to not make them out of solid wood. There is a "core" of particle board - or "beaver puke" as a customer told me once
angel: We are one of the few industries that can not have Our jobs exported.
angel: How can you tell that it's the fake wood?
VicS: Ripples in the surface sometimes
brud: if you know where to look - it sticks out like sore thumb
Fred-RI: inspect from the inside, they wont veener both sides
angel: And the interior cloth is cheaper too?
S_Moore: smell the difference when you first open the lid
brud: look under where the "silk" is stapled in, or look under the casket at the bottom of the "sides" of the casket
VicS: Sam....you still sniffin those coffins? Lol
angel: There will always be a family that will find that too--just one
S_Moore: yes..cant smell anything else but the wood and glue dont change
VicS: Angel....i think you must tell a family when it is a veneer.
brud: industry term is to call them "select Hardwood"
angel: Well you certainly can't tell them it's solid.
VicS: Thats right
Host_John: most customers don't ask and buy on looks "I think"
VicS: agreed John
VicS: But, I make it a point to let the family know they can purchase the veneer at one price or the solid at another
shawn has left.
shawn has joined.
Host_John: we ask the casket company to describe their product and we represent it as they have described it
S_Moore: We had a family bring in a used minimun plastic cremation box this wek
VicS: But wouldn't the family hold you accountable
Host_John: did you use the urn provided Sam?
S_Moore: absolutely. I did put in a fresh plastic bag
VicS: Did they scatter?
Host_John: good choice
S_Moore: no it went into the niche
Host_John: family will bring in their own urn often
dave_b: gotta run folks have a good nite
VicS: Nite dave
Host_John: we tell them we don't know if it will fit all the ashes
dave_b has left.
Host_John: we use sand to proove it
S_Moore: we often have urns come in..it was the 1st time I had seen a used minimum
Host_John: we pour sand in their urn, then pour that sand filled urn into a temporary urn most are very surprised
VicS: In Ca if all the cremated remains don't fit in the urn, we must attach another container to the original urn when giving it to the family
S_Moore: Vic I found a box of larger minimums
kj has left.
Host_John: good way to handle it Vic but I'd rather proove to family the cremated remains wont fit
VicS: But the larger minimums usually don't fit in a niche
S_Moore: Have been working in the storage closet all week. Al has everything
VicS: I like your method John
Host_John: thanks Vic
Host_John: we stay positive on the issue telling them that is beautiful lets check it's size
Host_John: if it fits great if not we work it out at that point
VicS: I like it
VicS: Do you keep one of your displays full of sand?
Host_John: no we have a bag of sand and use it when we need too
VicS: ok
VicS: Ever had anyone scatter at sea off a cruise boat?
Host_John: one woman brought in a light house, it was way too small so she went back to the store and got a dozen of them, she gave one to all in the family and kept the extras for herself
POG70 has joined.
angel: That could be messy depending upon the direction of wind
Host_John: yes I did that twice vic
POG70: Evening, all
S_Moore: Hello Pog
Host_John: best trick there is to find out how the wind is blowing
VicS: Did you do the scattering John?
Host_John: yes I did
angel: Night Pog
Host_John: here is the trick
POG70: Ran her off?
VicS: Did you get permission from the cruise company?
Host_John: go to breakfast cereial
Host_John: rice crispys
Host_John: I get my bowl
Host_John: and see if the contents blow into the sea
angel: snap crackle pop
Host_John: once I get my location I am all set
Host_John: corn flakes would to the job too
POG70: until the wind shifts
Host_John: boat is traveling at a good clip POG
Host_John: I did not ask cruise line for permission
Host_John: I just did it
VicS: When no one was lookin?
Host_John: I get up very early
VicS: Sneeky John
POG70: Over and done before anyone knew
Host_John: 5:45AM nobody is around
Host_John: yes just as the client wanted
angel: That sounds like an Algebra question, speed of boat, velocity of blowing ashes..
fluidpusher: We had a family charter a boat and scattered into Lake Erie today.
Host_John: both knew I like to cruise and pre planned with me because of that
Host_John: Nice Fluid
Host_John: I suggest the cerial test to anyone doing a public scattering
angel: Nice day for a Lake Erie ride
Host_John: one of my colleagues did a public scattering and they blew back onboard all over the boat
Host_John: bring some rice crispys
VicS: Ouch
fluidpusher: get the broom, sweep up, and try again?
POG70: Holding a wet finger up in the air doesn't work well
Host_John: if that is working for you POG
POG70: it doesn't work
angel: As everyone is choking
VicS: Pet crematories are on the rise
Host_John: the rice crispy is the best I have heard so far
POG70: Never been asked to scatter
Host_John: we do scatterings every summer
fluidpusher: we had a family dump, not scatter, on an existing grave. boy was the cemetery caretaker mad
POG70: Don't offer it, so I guess no one thinks we would do it
fluidpusher: i went out and checked it out, it was just a pile of dust and bone fragments in a heap on the grave.
VicS: The Navy will scatter veterans for free
POG70: gag, fp
fluidpusher: I have sent cremains to the Navy for scattering, very nice service
VicS: Yes, it is very nice
fluidpusher: I told the family that something would have to be done about it
Host_John: what is process Fluid?
angel: So have I, they send a letter to the family with details, very respectful
fluidpusher: I cannot remember the exact process, John, call a certain phone number, fax them a few forms, then mail the cremains to them. They will send a letter to the family when it is completed.
angel: You need to pick the naval base you want to use
Host_John: Vic how do you get Navy to Scatter?
fluidpusher: http://www.navy.mil/navydata/questions/burial.html
Host_John: nice thanks Fluid
POG70: Does the deceased have to have a Naval connection?
angel: They will do it for a Naval veteran
POG70: like burial at sea
angel: I'm not sure of other branches of service
VicS: They tell me that they will hold them until the next navy ship leaves to sea and then ceremonialy scatter them
VicS: I remember delivering them to a Navel Hospital in Long Beach, Ca and they processed it from there. Right Sam?
S_Moore: Shouldnt make a difference Angel
Host_John: good to know I never heard of the Navy scattering cremated remains
VicS: It has been a few years since I did that
S_Moore: Reight now we send them to Sdv
S_Moore: they will also take a navy casket
Host_John: what is Sdv?
POG70: Burial of a casket at sea is restricted to /naval connections, isn't it?
angel: I just never thought to consider them scattering for other service veterans, that would be cool
S_Moore: I think so Pog..not sure
Host_John: Sam what is Svd?
S_Moore: you have to pull out all the bedding and they cut holes in the casket
Host_John: there are casket prep guidelines for burial at sea
POG70: I had one years ago...retired Naval officer...seems that was one of the requiresment, being ex-navy
S_Moore: San Deigo
S_Moore: mis spelled that one
Host_John: OH ok Tx
VicS: You were making it an italian city Lol
S_Moore: east coast you could probably send them thru Boston, or Norfolk
POG70: It has to be strapped, yoo. The Navy doesn't do the drilling and strapping. You have to have that done before delivery to the ship
Fred-RI: newport Ri
S_Moore: right Fred
S_Moore: You might get Squantum to fly it down. (is Squantum still there)
Fred-RI: dont know
POG70: The one I had went out of Norfolk
angel: Same for me Pog
Fred-RI: does the coast guard do scatterings
S_Moore: probably
VicS: Marines?
S_Moore: heck no, we leave them in the field under a spruce tree
angel: semper fi
S_Moore: you could get a pilot to do it
fluidpusher: i am a pilot, trust me, it is tricky business scattering from a plane
Tom: I've never had a problem
S_Moore: When it comes to the military the troops are always willing..you just have to find some one willing to give the order
fluidpusher: Tom, that's because you know how to do it
Tom: Some people that do it on a regular basis build a shout to drop em out
fluidpusher: yep
Fred-RI has left.
Tom: Just be sure to take the medal tag out
fluidpusher: that would hurt if it hit someone
angel: Well, I need to mosey on into the sunset, woops missed that by a few hours. Good night all and have a great week
POG70: Wasn't there a pilot a few years back who had a whole lot piled up that he was supposed to have scattered, but didn't?
VicS: nite angel
S_Moore: nite
angel has left.
Tom: Might hit a fish in the head and the tree huggers will be after you
VicS: Pog...yes he was in San Francisco area. He went to hide, but when he returned he shot himself. It was a mess
POG70: Too bad
Fred-RI has joined.
Host_John: best handle the scattering yourself if you can, this way you know for sure it was done right
VicS: I just don't understand why someone would let the accumulate
