Death Care Shopping Coming To A Mall Near You


Wichita, Kansas

A video on YouTube has gone viral, bringing unexpected attention to a mall in Wichita, Kansas, featuring a unique shopping experience.
‘Til We Meet Again has recently opened a store in a Wichita shopping mall, featuring custom caskets and urns for sale directly to consumers.
The video is also leading to a second store, this one in Hutchinson, in what owners Nathan Smith and Traci Cone hope will be a franchised chain.
“This whole thing has just taken … off and just taken us all by storm,” Smith says.
Smith says he’s also closed a deal to license Kansas State University logos on caskets and urns and is working with Wichita State University to do the same.
Smith says he’s getting help and advice from Pizza Hut co-founder Dan Carney, who is on his informal board of advisers.
“He’s guiding us in making this thing work the right way,” Smith says.
