Now what?
Who in the heck would send me a coffin wrapped in cardboard and what the hell am I supposed to do with it?
I hate when that happens.

So, what is it really? Did you forget to tip the solid waste management people who collect the trash in your neighborhood?
I tried rolling it over to read the tag - I think it's for someone else because I don't remember ordering a coffin, but it is way too heavy for me to deal with by myself.
But it does say BATES COFFIN SUPPLY on all the sides.
It will lay in the driveway until someone claims it.
Hopefully, it disappears while I am at work tomorrow.
So, you opened the cardboard wrapping and it's a coffin, huh? I think I'd notify the cops. It might be a harmless prank but it also might be a crazed lunatic. You're working on the WTC right? All kinds of emotions could make somebody skip a cog and lash out at some unsuspecting person. I hope I don't have you mixed up with somebody else and I also hope you're not going to explain that it's some harmless BS after I post this serious reply.
Not exactly a six foot five model. I think this is meant for a child.
See, that's not good. That would make me nervous and my wife would probably move into a hotel if she saw that.
It's amazing what UPS will leave out in the weather. I had them leave $10,000 of GPS equipment just sitting there on my front porch; fortunately when I got home it was still there.
Your picture also has four of those white circles that ghost hunter TV shows call "energy orbs". That's solid evidence that your coffin came with friends.
So, does it have a tracking number on the shipping label?

You're so practical. It's much more dramatic to run around and assume that somebody is threatening you by leaving a child's coffin on your driveway. Buzzkill!

Well, Scott is in the New York City area, which we all know is just run by one large organized crime family from Wall Street on down. The obvious explanation would be that some disgruntled former coworker's brother-in-law had arranged the shipment at his wife's urging. I always try to look for the less obvious possibilities, such as a misdelivery.
Nah, I see 2 orbs and a pair of dead pixels.;-)
That casket thing would freak me out....

That is definitely weird! Especially when I come online to check in before going to bed after finding out grandma is on her last hours and breaths. (And shedding a few tears) Maybe she's trying to tell me something? 😐 (I was the one who went with her to pick out her coffin 4 years ago.)
I see the orbs too. Funny, I thought I was the only one who thought those things and I've never seen 1 episode of Ghost Hunter or Whisper or any of them shows. I see a lot of them orbs in old churches.
I feel awful for the family that it is intended for. Probably already basket cases because of the death and maybe they didn't have a lot of $$ so they had to order the coffin online and then it gets lost, and now how do they have a funeral and bury their loved one? Yikes!! Hopefully this isn't the case and it is just a funeral home stocking up.
Keep us posted! I'm curious to see how this pans out.
"Contents Coffin"
that is one way to disguise a big box of Christmas gifts.
Consumer alert: Don't try dying on your own, let the professionals handle it.
Keep it and sell it on Ebay. Those things cost a fortune.
I'd open it first....just in case.
An Empty Coffin Should Not Be Too Heavy...
Unless it were filled with drugs.
It may have been intentionally sent to your address, for a pickup by persons you do not want to meet.
Bates Coffin Supply is a made up name, the real name is Batesville Casket Company. I see their trucks on I-78 from time to time.

I was starting to get suspicious also LPL. A google turned up nothing by the name of Bates Coffin. It could be a load of uzi's for all we know or drugs or something very innocent.
