    Unusual Coffins & Caskets

    Do you know of anybody who has been buried in a unusual casket?

    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    I like this idea: http://www.thethinkingblog.com/2007/...y-returns.html

    A simple cavity dug into the red earth of a southern pine forest, bunches of needles and rose petals strewn into and around the hole. No concrete burial vault lined the grave, with its wood coffin and unembalmed occupant

    I don't know anyone that has had an unusual coffin but I do think green burials are the way to go and that is certainly what I want.

    I've always wanted to buy a...

    ...Krazy Kasket, by Wham-oâ?¢, but they don't seem to have gotten round to making them yet.

    He he I dont know of any crazy caskets but my father in law owned a small engineering shop and had lots of customers who paid for small jobs with produce or car parts etc. Once to my MIL's horror Pop arrived home with a coffin on the roof racks of his car it was hilarious! MIL was not impressed as Pop said he wanted to use it as a coffee table/ storage unit. It stayed up in the shed for a few years until eventually we had a big bonfire and we put a Guy Falkes in it and burnt it!

    Also very cool, except the fishies would die & that would just be depressing at the viewing.

    You could even take that jello salad to the funeral to let it chill for the after-dinner. Talk about a time savings!!

    It makes sense-at least for Japan. Supposedly, they frown upon embalming. Yet,
    many people want closure and to view their loved ones one last time.
    There can be a viewing and by renting this, they can have a viewing without embalming.
    Now, the small animals part, I don't know. Someone evidently would be holding a memorial service for the animal(?)

    They come, they go. Happens all the time.

    I am thinking that if you could embed some objects in plexiglass and use them for coffin lids there could be a market. Expensive I would expect.

    Super Neil saves the death hags' day! Thanks Neil!

    ETA: I wouldn't want to buy one of these. After you put the person who died in the casket they will be burried in, what do you do with the glass one?!? Use it keep your meat and cheese spread cold at parties? But then again, I really wouldn't want to rent one because you don't know who used it before. Yeah, they were dead and so is the person you'd be renting it for but it's all too oogy.

    To me it looks like a cross between the aforementioned salad bar and aquarium. Sushi anyone?

    I suspect this is not the picture that was taken out - there was one with a body in it that we are not getting to look at and that's just wrong.

    Taking a chill pill.... You're sure? No dead body was taken away? Because I wanted to be righteously indignant.

    Did you look at all the caskets? They have 'papery' caskets that look like wood! And, they have masculine steel caskets, even in pink. The pet caskets made me sad. The glass ones would be fun if you filled them with jello and your loved one. But, only if your loved one was a fun loving person in life.

    Judging from this merchandise I'd say a coffin's bound to turn up.

    But, what if when you bite down, the kitty doesn't match up with your bite? Is that why they have a gun, because you'll be so cranky from uncomfortable teeth you'll want to shoot your dentist?

    I know they have a Hello Kitty Electric Guitar, I saw it at the Beverly Center Hello Kitty Store. It was cute. But, I like Chococat better than Hello Kitty. Chococat rules.
