Funeral potatoes? Yep, this is a real thing and most of us have tried this tasty dish but most likely did not call them ‘funeral potatoes’. In my family, we referred to this dish as ‘Potato Casserole’. They are one of my favorite side dishes! And I know many wonderful church ladies who delivery these on a daily basis to many grieving families. This is what Walmart’s website says about the dish:
What are Funeral Potatoes? Having originated in the West this delightful dish is anything but grim. In various parts of the USA, it’s also known as Potato Casserole, Party Potatoes, Cheesy Potatoes, and Mormon Potatoes. Commonly served at funerals and social gatherings. So good they’re to die for! This isn’t Walmart’s first funeral Product Back in 2009, Walmart began selling caskets online through Walmart.com. This sent funeral directors into a ruckus and start conversations about Walmart planting its flag in the funeral arena. However, little has come of this and in all honesty, it hasn’t really hurt the profession as a whole. Although, in some isolates areas it has been an issue. Walmart also carries many cremation urns and now funeral potatoes!! What if Walmart is planning to take on other areas of the funeral planning process? What if they launched an online preplanning site? They could sell the casket, urn or plastic vault (no sign of this yet) and now the reception or comfort food. Ok, that is a stretch and really isn’t going to happen, or could it? The post Walmart Takes One More Step Into The Funeral Industry With Funeral Potatoes appeared first on Connecting Directors.
