[/font][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It won't be death that parts them, so Dixie Fisher is trying to sell the casket her soon-to-be ex-husband planned to use when he dies. Fisher placed a classified ad in the newspaper last week hoping to sell the steel casket the couple kept in their garage. [/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]"Marriage died before husband did," read the ad.[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Fisher and David Budd, who are divorcing, bought the gray casket a year ago from a friend who works at a metal salvage business. Budd said he agreed Fisher should sell the casket.[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]"There wasn't anybody in it, and it looked like it had never been used," Fisher said.[/font]
<!--startsubhead-->[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Taste for the macabre[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Fisher plans to be cremated, but the couple thought the casket would come in handy for Budd.[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]"I told my husband that, if nothing else, it was a good investment for the future," Fisher said.[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The couple also said they have a taste for the macabre: married on Halloween in 1997, they had a party the next day featuring bride-and-groom skeleton decorations.[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]"I'm really pressed for money, and I'm hoping I can use some of it for attorney fees," she said.[/font]
