The Big Bopper” Richardson’s casket, made of 16-gauge steel, was exhumed last year so the singer’s remains could be moved to a more visible location with a statue and historic marker.
His son Jay Richardson, the singer’s son (born three months after his father’s death)is willing apparently to sell the casket because of it's historical significance. EEEWWWW!
Need a ‘Big’ casket?

I know we sell sarcophagi to museums, but this just seems to be tacky. I don't know, perhaps I'm not fully understanding where the won is coming from. Perhaps it isn't simply about getting money from the bones of his father. But it certainly looks that way, doesn't it.

I just read the details and the comments at the end..It is indeed crazy and as they said not even Gene Simmons would do that, and from his own mouth he would do anything to do money, but I bet he would not do this. I know it is just considered a casket by some but still He had laid in that caskey since 1959 and I think he shouldn't have been disturbed. My opinion anyhow.

That is something else. How in the world could they think about selling something like that? It does not matter who was in it.

Boy, this speaks volumes about his respect for his dad, doesn't it? Ugh! Some people will do anything for money, I guess!

I'm not so sure its as gross as it is disturbing this perons needs serious counceling to think that he should sell his fathers casket and make a profit
