The Walmart Casket

At first, I thought this was an Onion joke. But no.

Walmart is selling caskets. Here's the actual product description:

Generously sized, the Star Legacy's Regal Wide Body has extended dimensions width combined with an adjustable bed. Exceptional quality, sleek design and squared corners add to its contoured look. The hand-tailored white crepe interior and hand-painted, high gloss antique gunmetal finish is complemented with classically designed hardware and premium swing bars. it is the perfect match for the person who lived life to its fullest.

And...

Contains memory tube

I don't know anything about caskets, but what the hell is a "memory tube?"
