Personally I want to be dog food. Or let cannibals eat my ripe, juicy organs.

.That would be a conflict of interest. They would have an incentive to design their furniture to be deadly so their customers end up buying their caskets

Yes it's kind of the same reason diamonds are so expensive. If they didn't cost so much your wife wouldn't want one on her ring.

But they're not fake names; kills the joke.
