Was it their most modestly priced receptacle?

This scene kills me every time. Walter does the whole sunglasses-off audit, sees the $180 urn charge, and immediately goes “what is this.”
For 1991 that feels… not exactly modest. Like, is that actually the cheapest option, or is the mortuary guy just trying to upsell two guys who clearly have no plan?
And the best part is they fully reject it and somehow end up with a Maxwell house coffee can. Which means they had to leave, go to Ralph’s, buy coffee, dump it (??), and come back like “yeah this’ll do.”
Honestly would’ve loved to see that whole side mission lol. But yeah, was he being serious about “most modestly priced,” or just trying to upsell them?

This is a mortuary… not a rental house

You don't go out looking for a receptacle dressed like that? On a weekday?
New-Lingonberry8029@reddit
I thought it was Folgers , Walter ?
DFWUnhinged@reddit (OP)
Oh it might’ve been, I didn’t remember exactly
New-Lingonberry8029@reddit
Maxwell house in the blue can , worthy adversary.
Sitting_in_a_tree_@reddit
The receptacle has been described as strongly vaginal.
2wheelsThx@reddit
Yeah, Dude, Maxwell House is not the preferred nomenclature. Folgers, please.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Cremated remains can be given to families / next of kin etc. in a plastic bag placed in a cardboard box.

Sir, this is a subreddit, not a rental house
recovery_room@reddit
Bunny is the most mostly priced receptacle.
Brave_Educator5934@reddit
"I'll suck your cock for $1000" doesn't seem modestly priced to me dude.
WhatIsTheAmplitude@reddit
They range up to $3000.

Just because we’re horny doesn’t make us saps!

Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Donny. Donny, who loved bowling. And so, Theodore Donald Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince.

Goddamnit Walter! You fucking asshole!

I work at a funeral home and for the first 2 years whenever we were doing something with urns I’d ask if this is our most modestly priced receptacle. No one ever got it. Pisses me off to this day
hickory-smoked@reddit
Were they listening to the Dude's story?
greving@reddit
This scene makes me sad because the dude and Walter were Donny’s family
Sufficient-Lab-5769@reddit
Yeah, I think about that too. Was there not anyone else they even notified about his death? Siblings, parents, anyone?
sci-fi-rec@reddit
Makes me think there’s a lot to Donny’s backstory, and the dude, Walter, or both, knew it
peauxtheaux@reddit
I just watched an episode of Schitts Creek last night that had a VERY similar scene to this one in it.

You want a receptacle? I can get you a receptacle. Believe me. There are ways, Dude, you don’t wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a receptacle by 3 o’clock this afternoon, with a lid. These fucking amateurs!
Soulless--Plague@reddit
Maxwell? Were you listening to the Dudes story?!
john-tockcoasten@reddit
Well they range up to $3000 bones or clams.
Lenin36@reddit

Neither-Bag7127@reddit
You can use them to buy any number of caskets that do not have sentimental value to me.

I worked for a cemetery doing sales and this shit is too real.
Jodanmawashigeri@reddit
Aha! So you are in a unique position to confirm or disconfirm OPs assertion that it is NOT a modestly priced receptacle.
Momik@reddit
Yaaaah but that TruCoat—see, they put that in in the factory..
2wheelsThx@reddit
Holy shit! We looked at cars this weekend and every fucking dealership had their version of "Trucoat" and I scoffed and heard Jerry Lundegard every time!
pollyswee@reddit
I can promise you it’s not, you will pay 350+ bones or clams for said receptacle, very un dude like

chaimsteinLp@reddit
No. They knew there was a Ralph's nearby which is filled with modestly priced receptacles.

It doesn't matter because we're scattering the FUCKING ASHES!
Commercial_Set2986@reddit
You know Dude wrote a post dated check for the Folgers. Walter left his wallet at Cynthia's place, you know how it is.
trumpeting-farts@reddit
With the money saved on the receptacle, he can buy any number of rugs, none of which have sentimental value to me.
