FIMA Coffins

[Touch Of Death]

A friend of mine took the time to show me some websites the highlight the fact that their are thousands of coffins, stacked one on top of the other, in each major population center in the United States. Yes, it sounds creepy that the government is ready for mass death anywhere in the nation, but would it not be more horrible if it weren't?

CLAIM: "500,000 plastic air-tight coffins in the middle of Atlanta Georgia. Apparently the Government is expecting a Half Million people to die relatively soon, and the Atlanta Airport is a major airline traffic hub, probably the biggest in the country, which means Georgia is a prime base to conduct military operations and coordination. It is also the home of the CDC, the Center for Disease Control. I don't want to alarm anyone, but usually you don't buy 500,000 plastic coffins 'just in case something happens,' you buy them because you know something is going to happen. These air tight seal containers would be perfect to bury victims of plague or biological warfare in, wouldn't they?"

FACT: The black polypropylene products purported to be coffins are grave liners, or burial vaults, manufactured by Convington, Ga.-based Vantage Products. (In this case, they are examples of the company's Standard Air Seal model.) The use of a burial vault, which prevents the collapse of cemetery ground and protects the casket, is a common requirement when a body is interred.

The filmed lot in Madison, Ga., is a Vantage storage facility. Of the 900,000 or so in-ground burials in the U.S. each year, a small percentage of those people prearranged their own caskets and vaults--which Vanguard holds at the storage facility until the appropriate time. According to company Vice President of Operations Michael Lacey, there are approximately 50,000 vaults in storage in Madison. "It's nowhere near the quantity they talk about on the Internet," he told the local Morgan County Citizen newspaper. Furthermore, Lacey has said the company maintains detailed records of product ownership and is audited annually, to insure all vaults are accounted for.

Bodies have to be dealt with fairly quickly after death, there are these things called diseases...
That the government might have the means to deal with a lot of dead bodies is kinda troubling, in one sense and somewhat comforting (cold comfort is better than none) in another.

true, but since that is the manufacturers storage facility....

BTW, that vault think is not common every place else, and a generous helping of lime curbs most diseases in a crisis...

So going by preordered items in stock to open stock for immidiate purchase...I have no idea how long it takes to make such a box, but considering that people are generally buried within 3 to 7 days....makes sense to keep a few on hand.
