neighbors casket

A neighbor came to me and asked me to make a casket for him. Unfortunately, he has terminal cancer. His good wife is in remission for cancer and so I am sure that the money is on the slim side. He brought a drawing of a casket that was constructed from 2x4s and plywood. After looking at the situation, I asked him if I paid for the wood if I could make it a little nicer. He said ok. I just feel that we should go out in something other than a shipping crate. Three ladies from the church lined the inside and we used packing peanuts for the bottom.
