Ok. I’m all for the unique, the innovative and the “out of the box” type thinkers.
But this thinker was thinking WITHIN the “box” (and that’s the problem).
For a mere $30,000, a company in Sweden will set you up with a fabulous coffin complete with surround sound and unlimited playlists.
There’s more, but honestly it is so creepy, I’ll just let you read about it yourself here on the company’s website.
Or watch this commercial.
(Warning: Don’t look at this commercial at work, because you’ll probably shriek out loud with all it’s creepiness).

/ January 24, 2013My sentiments, exactly! I hardly know what to say!
Marcia
/ January 24, 2013O. M. Freakin’ G. Hahahahaha. I’m freaked out, but I’m also laughing my head off. (And other bits.)
“Life after death entertainment?” What the…? Are we supposed to imagine that we pass on and then lie in our caskets for all eternity, wishing we’d brought along an iPod? DANG. I woulda never thought to include that in my eternal arrangements. Who knew? *thinking, here* Why stop at speakers and playlists? Why not order a slightly larger coffin and bring along live entertainment? Dream big, I say.
I’m going away now to ponder yet another thing I never knew I needed.
sharechair
/ January 24, 2013It is ridiculous, isn’t it? Why not add a flat screen tv, too?
Marcia
/ January 24, 2013OH, yeah. And let’s not forget the KINDLE. Paperwhite, of course, so there’s LIGHT!
sharechair
/ January 25, 2013You are tooooooo funny! You’ve got this all figured out!
Marcia
/ January 25, 2013I’m OOOOOLLLD. I need to be prepared.

/ January 24, 2013Ha! I guess there is a bit of precedent, here, kind of …….

/ January 24, 2013unbelievable! maybe it covers the miserable voices of the mourners
sharechair
/ January 24, 2013Now that’s a thought!
Nicole
/ January 24, 2013I don’t what is more ridiculous… the idea of having music in your coffin or paying a company $30,000 to set it up for you. Awesome post!
sharechair
/ January 24, 2013I’d love to know how many they have sold. I don’t think I’d be surprised at either a high or a low number.

/ January 24, 2013I’m sure there is a market, Kathy… Vampire lover’s (with money) will luvvvv this one…!
sharechair
/ January 24, 2013ooooo…. never thought of that!
Marcia
/ January 24, 2013Not THIS Vampire Lover. Of course, I don’t have the money, either, so it’s a moot point, I reckon. But me, I think it’s crazy. And I can’t help but wonder if anyone is REALLY buying this.
sharechair
/ January 25, 2013Me too. I’d love to know.
Long Life Cats and Dogs
/ January 25, 2013You have got to be kidding me! My word, what people will think up in order to make some money (well, quite a lot by the looks of it). What gets me more, though, is that anyone would actually pay for that!
sharechair
/ January 25, 2013and I wonder if anyone has bought it…. I’m guessing probably yes. Weird as it is.
joyfullyrenewed
/ January 25, 2013Is this for real?! Wow! I think that might be the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen… Makes me think of that show, what was it? Where they would say, “what will they think of next?”
sharechair
/ January 25, 2013You are so right! I’m surprised they didn’t include a flat screen tv and a dvr!
Sarah Angleton
/ January 25, 2013Oh, no, no, no, no, no. What really creeps me out, though, is that my loved ones could choose songs for my playlist. Nothing good can come of that.
Marcia
/ January 25, 2013Hahahahahaha. I hadn’t even thought of that! I could be consigned to an eternity of gag songs like Peanut Butter Jelly Time and The Hamster Song. Or worse…since I live in the Land of Disney…It’s A Small, Small World! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggghhhhh.
sharechair
/ January 25, 2013ha! Didn’t think of that! Now THAT would be really spooky!

/ January 26, 2013So a sexy puss sells coffins too.
I like the idea of being entertained eternally, I think I’ll go for Beethoven’s NInth Symphony, and Handel’s Messiah – and if there’s time for any more, -maybe Les Miserables. I’ll invite my family and friends to bring a foldup chair and an umbrella just in case, a flask of brandy, and come and listen to my concert with me. I’m getting quite excited at this whole new dimension to dying… to think I’d been planning on a cremation!

/ January 30, 2013Creepy but purely moneymaking thoughts really, adn I guess people will buy it, well I shall take my mp3 player with me wherever I go even to my last journey with my epic songs on it, no need for surround sound……..keep it simple….
