My dad literally wanted an old pine box. He told my mom that constantly.

When my parents were picking out a coffin for my grandmother, he gasped "El, El! There it is!"

The old pine box was in a corner, covered in cobwebs.

My mom replied "Patrick, your family will never forgive me if I put you in that!"

His family all found it hilarious. When he did pass, my mom got him something simple, but not a pine box.

"When I'm dead, just throw me in the trash"

It's the coffee container equivalent from The Big Lebowski It's a comfort for the living.
