Walmart now wants to be your casket supplier of choice when it is time for you to make your way into the next life. The company now has a new line of caskets starting at just $999.99 for its Lady de Guadalupe Steel Casket collection. Walmart describes this low price leader as:

Made of Superior Grade 18-gauge steel, Lady de Guadalupe’s exterior is hand-painted by experienced craftsman in an exquisite slate blue metallic color, complemented with individual appliqués of the Lady de Guadalupe. The interior bedding, so soft to the touch, is sewn and gathered by hand in a sky-blue chalet crepe adorned by an embroidered figure of the Lady de Guadalupe. High-polished hardware and carry bars for easy handling complete this religious-themed edition.

  • Made of Legacy Premium 18-gauge steel
  • Premium one-piece, stationary handles — end-capped — for easy handling.
  • Adjustable bed and mattress
  • Gasketed rim
  • Contains memory tube
  • Half-couch design with square corners
  • Embroidered Lady de Guadalupe image on interior lid cap
  • Exterior dimensions: 28″W x 83″L x 23″H

  • Ships via Federal Express
  • Made in USA

These caskets are available only online and are not available at your local retail store. You should confirm that you are aware of Walmart’s policy on casket returns:

Due to FTC regulations, Walmart.com can only accept a return of a casket, urn or memorial jewelry due to freight or cosmetic damage from shipping. Walmart stores cannot accept the return of any casket or urn.

I guess that buying a refurbished model is definitely out!

    This is the most craziest thing ever. Why would Wal-Mart out of all the places sell these. I mean, it’s totally different, but they shouldn’t be selling them. haha

    I had no idea they sold those. How do you find this stuff?

    So, Wal-Mart has gone into funeral services? What’s next? Wal-Mart Cemeteries behind their shopping outlets? Oh great Lord have mercy on sales!

    Costco. Was the first to do this, I believe. They used to have them on display but no longer do as you have to order them out of a catalog now. Maybe a few people including employees thought that was a tad tacky. I wonder if deceased Wall Mart employees will get their employee discount on one “beyond the grave.” Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.

    “seperate”?

    Well, it’s a start. Only 1 more year to go to decide whether I want one or not.
    The addition of cameras is a step in the right direction!

    I am stationed in Germany with the U.S. Military; B&N doesn’t allow me to DL books from them to my nook but the Kindle app does allow me to DL books. Now I can use my nook to DL books directly to my nook, they just come from Amazon. Great DIY article, THANKS!!!

    After successfully completing the process above I arrived at the same place. I then
    successfully installed a couple of aps. Radar Weather was one of the aps.

    However … the first time I ran Radar Weather if performed perfectly. Every
    successive time I ran it I got a notice saying that location services needed
    to be turned on. I checked and noted that I was indeed connected to my
    network, so that should have been enough, but I was never able to get that
    or any other ap requiring location services to run.

    I searched on the net, and found that this is indeed a problem (the note
    listed unable to enable location services as a “signature” problem.

    Has anyone else encountered this, and is there a solution for this problem?

    NOOK-CWM3028-imgfiles.zip doesn’t look like it’s in the XDA thread anymore, unless it’s named something different and I don’t understand it.

    were can I get the files needed to do this

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_AFVC6RE77ZZI3T26YM72F3PGJE Karin Bash

    This seems simple, however I can’t get my card to work. I have a mac. Do I put the manualnooter file on the CM7 disk or the boot disk (2 partitions of SD card?) Do I have to rename the image files? If so, you can’t replace them in the zip file without opening (thus unpacking) the zip file). Where do I put the image files? Lastly, do I need the “nightly” that the dev site talks about? Thanks

    I love you man. I wish I had seen yer video before I rooted my sweetheart wife’s Nook. OK, it’s all good & she’s got her Angry Birds and I’m a hacker deluxe.

    So I downloaded it all and now it’s stalled on the opening “nook color” writing across the screen when your reboot. Anything to fix that?

    So do you use Win32 Disk Imager on manualnooter? Or just CWM? It says to copy, I don’t know if that means to make it an image on the MicroSD.

    Thank you for sharing the instructions for rooting a Nook Color.

    I had my NC (v1.2.0 blue dot) rooted by following your instructions. Some of you might have fared better but yesterday after updating to v1.3.0, I lost connection to two of the five programs/icons on the home screen (if you can call it that). Also, I could not connect to the Android Market. So I had to reset (by doing the 8 Ns) and revert to stock v1.2, updated to v1.3 and rooted (again) using the method above.

    It works fine now.

    I just did this, however, gmail does not sync, and there is no “accounts and sync” location to set it up. What did I miss? Everything looks good so far.

    Has anyone done this and gained access to the Amazon App Store? I can’t find the option to allow third party apps.

    Software: Version 1.3.0
    Problem: After powering off, on start up, hangs at “Nook co”.

    Here’s my experience and solution (not sure if it works for you):

    After rooting, everything works. I could turn off/power off my Nook Color without any problem. But after a day or so, the NC would auto-update the following programs:

    Superuser (updates to v3.05)
    Adobe Air (updates to v3.0.0.408)
    Gmail (updates to v2.3.5.2)
    Adobe Flash Player (updates to 11.0.1.153)
    ROM Manager (updates to v4.7.0.5)

    This is where the problem starts. After switching it off (power off) and re-starting, hangs at the words “Nook co” and goes on an endless loop. Grrrrrr.

    I re-rooted my NC 7+ times to isolate which of the five updated apps was causing the problem “hang.”

    It was the two Adobe apps causing trouble.

    Solution: Uninstall Adobe updates

    Adobe Air from v3.0.0.408 rolled back to v2.6.0.1912
    Adobe Flash Player from v11.0.1.153 rolled back to v10.3.185.22

    Works fine now :-)
