You did a lovely job on the photos, Mai.  I also love the traditional casket.  I've been to way too many funerals in my lifetime and I just don't get the American tradition of the big, shiny metal box.  When we had to choose something for my father a casket like this was nowhere to be seen among the choices.  Maybe I need to start working on my own pine box now?</blockquote>
