I didn't know that the Chinese government had banned coffins and burials and required cremation ever since the Communist takeover in 1949 until I read law professor Gerry Beyer's posts on China and Coffins and Made in China Coffins.
However, the coffin-making expertise was not lost. China is making coffins for the US market and about 25% cheaper too. In less than 3 years, they've captured 2% of the market.
They may not take American Express; they certainly won't take Hell Money.
