This is a twist on the old shop cla$$ now vanishing from schools, casket cla$$ Students build their own casket as a cla$$ project. This definitely will not be cla$$ified as a "life skill."
Link : Cla$$ Allows Students To Build Their Own Casket
The student in the story had liver cancer and two years to live. One can imagine this as a shrewd budget move, but it is still a bit creepy. In Karla Stromgren's words, "I wish I had done this earlier in my life ... It's not too late." Exactly when and how much earlier Karla? A casket is not something you exactly keep next to the coffee table.
On the other hand, this cla$$ may be a hit with the vampire set, the Goth. set, .... and the modders (see below). Let's hear it for public education!
I'll pass on it for now as I am dead tired.

I guess I was a morbid teen (goth did not exist in my time... we called ourselves alternative then 
), but I think that's pretty cool and I would have taken the class. Then again I did think of being an embalmer as my career (I wish I had chosen it).

Reminds me of this car from Harold and Maude. 
This is way too focused on death for high schoolers. They're too young for that.
