Currently, (according to poor stats) there are about 900 people dying of HIV/Aids in South Africa everyday. With the other deaths (natural / motor accidents / murder, etc) it must be close to 2000 plus a day.
Not everyone can afford those hideously expensive boxes, and as such there must be a market for cheaper, but nice, versions. Now I know there are guys out there already servicing this market (that sounds weird / sick), but there must be a space for one more. Cheaper / faster / neater.....
Let me tell you what, there is a lot of info. to be had on line, but not too many places give sizes and / or drawings, but I have found some and will be putting together a materials list for a friend in the hardware business to give me a quote. Then we can work on less about 10 - 15% for bulk buying from the wholesaler and see where we can come in.
A call to the local funeral parlour should give me an indication of current market pricing, and then we will have the information required to make a decision one way or another.
Basic, entry level model - can be plain or spray painted
A bit smarter, again plain or spray painted.
Something different - also simple but smart - plain or spray painted.
Got the pics off the net. Thanx to the contributing companies.

Hi
If you sell them as a package deal,what I mean is meat, drinks and coffin. Package deal !!!
I have a friend who has the contract to bury all the "john does" that nobody claims
He can't keep up with the demand, maybe look at that tender, all you need is a farm (which you have) and 2 guys to dig holes evry day.
I will try to get the cost of what he is paid per body
Where does he buy his coffins? how much does he pay? what do they look like? How many does he buy a day?
It is cheaper to buy them! But you have to buy 1000 at a time. The cost then comes down to R420.00 one. If you can get a market for a thousand you can make a substantial amount of money.
