COSTCO COFFINS — One of our best pals recently was on a shopping mission at Costco in South San Francisco.

She was somewhat taken aback by what she saw near the exit: cut-rate coffins.

Yep. A Costco experiment for those dealing with the Grim Reaper that began in 2004 in the East has shifted west.

Fittingly, perhaps, this particular Costco branch is located not far from Colma's cemeteries, where more than 1 million already are interred.

Hey, the smart retail merchant goes where potential business can be readily found.
