Designing for Batesville Casket

Monday December 3, 2007

Back to work today. I am working on a design for a lid for a casket for Batesville Casket Company. This is not one the more enjoyable parts that I have design. I am not fond of having a casket in my office. It’s not a completed casket, just the metal stamping without the covering. I don’t have a fear of death, probable less than most people, but I don’t care for the morbid either. I know somebody has to do this stuff but I had rather it not be me. I have design some weird stuff before but this is my first casket. I have design a vase for funeral flora arrangements. That was okay, it had other uses also. You might have had one at your wedding, not that there is much difference. I had designed a part for baiting Ballyhoo which I had frozen so I could work with them without spoiling. Thank God they didn’t send a corpse with this job. I usually get educated on any project that I work on but this one I am trying to avoid knowing anymore than is necessary. Some of the parts that go into this you don’t want to know. I never realized what happens after you are in the casket. Cremate me and get it over with. Well I will get it designed and move it out.
