Think about it.

If the government wanted to get rid of thousands, even millions of people in FEMA camps, why would they bother putting them into coffins?

Why would they bother making special cars to transport these people? Why woul they make the effort?

They wouln't. They would simply dig a hole and throw the bodies in it. It's fast, it's dirty and it's cheap.

They aren't going to spend large sums of money and disposable citizens.

Interesting. I see two stories about this. On one hand we have the coffins and liners, on the other hand we have stories about cremation setups. Will you folks make up your mind? Why would the US want to go to the trouble to bury millions of citizens when they could cremate them? This smacks of impracticability, inefficiency.

My guess is that someone bought a bunch of these for the funeral industry from China or something, and they are sitting around waiting for sale.

They may be in reserve for future use in national cemeteries, also. The government will have a lot of dead veterans to possibly intern over the next twenty years as the WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War vets begin to die off and select a national cemetery for their permanent resting place.

I'm with what the tenth power says, in regards to they wouldn't respect our dead bodies. But what if they don't want our "contaminated" bodies polluting the earth and groundwater and that's why they need these coffins? The contamination could be from anything, like the toxic things most Americans eat or a bio attack or even piggy flu.

They need them for every american citizen.

Because those serve 3 purposes:
To get you easier out of the grave if you need to be transported
To prevent the ground from caving in when your coffin deterioates and breaks in. (purely cosmetic, but still folks can get upset when they are in a graveyard and the ground moves)
To pervent ground water contamination.

It's a standard product used in the funeral industry.

Those coffins are supposed to be for all the British agents that refuse to leave their ill gotten homes and return what they have stolen; its an inside joke. Its kind of way to make a very serious threat without making a threat.

Of course no bodies will go in the boxes because the bodies are going to be disposed of at the site of the murder. Wood Chippers or something.

These remind me of the size of concrete boxes they place the wooden caskets into. These containers would likely hold several dead bodies, especially if they're emaciated like the ones in concentration camps.

I had met an owner of a construction container business that produced various containers for holding and moving certain construction materials, such as natural large rocks for foundations and chimneys.These would likely also be water proof. These might also be used for ground spills such as contaminated soils. I suppose there could be several uses for these.

I'm also reminded of the containers they showed being used on Star Trek.

Some might even believe these could be used on alien bodies such as a District 9 scenario.

I think that is what vaults are for to keep the ground from collapsing in on the casket and to keep casket intact. I don't see a problem with these things bodies laying around like during floods have to be contained in something until claimed. Caskets go in a concrete vault, then a tamper is used to pack down dirt, then more dirt, tamp, dirt, then grass put back when grave is closed. It is pretty interesting procedure.

Agggh, Twenty years as a funeral director gives me no credibility on this issue? Every time I conduct a funeral at a National cemetery we use one of these. The flat part of the burial vault is the bottom and the curved bathtub looking part is the top. The flat part, lets call it a base, is placed in the grave first. The casket is then lowered into the grave. After everyone says their goodbyes the cemetery workers bring out the top and place it over the casket. The grave is then filled in and the sod is replaced. Yes there is some settling of the earth over the first week, so more dirt is added. It's called perpetual care, cemetery workers have some job security keeping cemeteries looking nice.

Don't get me wrong here people, I'm a believer in the KBR containment camps. These (vaults/grave liners are just inventory for future sales, that's it...

I would have to say The Undertaker seems plausible to to what he claims to be and common sense.
