It is insane to expect anyone cherishing his own death. And now this insanity can soon to be seen as a wishful reality as a company called Creative Coffins, known for developing customized coffins has an exclusive deliverable for geeks. Well, with the launch of iPhone 3G lately and its fever still on what is your choice of an eternal slumber? Say iPhone Coffin and the company have that for you. So, do you like to ride in a Vista wallpaper-themed or Halo coffin? These coffins aren’t “legitimately” listed as “goods” from the Creative Coffins squad but am sure there won’t be any questions for thrashing up the design for you, as they guarantee any form of design starting from “the decorous and gorgeous to the idiosyncratic or hilarious”. T3 has put collectively some breathtaking design renditions of coffins that may relax your exhausted imagination and you can come up with the demand of a Star War-themed coffin. And if green is your choice then free feel to eye ecopod coffins.

Bette Davis has well said: “The only place one can feel legendary is in coffin.” And it seems Bill Bramanti has heard this or god knows if he is fortunate enough to meet this level of coincidence and intellect. His coffin is certainly going to be marking his history. He love for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer is so obvious that he wishes to get buried in a coffin structured with na appeal similar to a can. News is Bill has already materialized his raw thought and has made a casket for himself after trying his fit into it. Till the time this beer-can welcomes his actual owner, this would be up for alternative usage of serving as a beer cooler for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.
Those who wish to reside in a coffin formed like your favourite beverage shall go ahead and experiment with this wild yet exciting thought. It wopuld be an exemplary consumer-brand allegiance. Do tell us what would your revolutionary coffibn look like?

Agreed Earth Day is meant to make initiatives to prevent our dear mother earth but does this mean that the passing over of Earth Day stops lowers down your responsibility towards eco-friendly drive. Today, around 90% of coffins used in committals are made of chipboard roofed with a shield that breeds formaldehyde and glue into the groundwater and relieves toxic gases into the air. This is a clear indication of the fact that there is a whole set of people engaged in driving electric cars and caress endangered species, responsible for showing a posthumous middle finger to Mother Earth.
And here we have the Ecopod, a preferred alternative made out of 100% recycled paper and is absolutely ecological.

Available in four shades and multiple forms, they come at a retail price of $1500 to $1900, depending on which you order. On a first look it looks like an extraterrestrial cocoon but that’s a bonus if you consider.

Call them coffins or couches; they very well deserve this tag. I somehow have a deep inclination for weird stuff especially furniture accessory. Days back, I put across alien furniture and now this Coffin Couch worth $4,500 each would surely compliment them.

Designed using recycled 18 gauge steel coffins; the raw material was gathered from local funeral homes based in Southern California. Against the health and safety law that doesn’t allow funeral homes to resell used coffins, these coffins were sold to public as the idea of recycling sound quite interesting.
These coffins cannot be used for burial purpose due to some aesthetic discrepancies. It was that recycled coffin that underwent a sm,all process of refining and the result is elegant coffin couches.
