Title: Coffins are dead boring...
Post by: shank_ali on January 17, 2009, 15:46
I think it's about time our coffins were modernised.I would like to see them made in different shapes and manufactured out of latex rubber or pvc.
I would also like to see headstones upgraded to include audio output and as you visited a loved one with  flowers we could press a button and hear our deceased voices.

They even got a flickr stream filled with pink coffins... flickr.com/photos/fressis/

You can already buy a custom coffin!

Just close your eyes, shut out the world and remember, then you will hear thier voice and see thier face.

If you really like complete strangers pressing a button to see or hear a clip of a loved one?
There are sites like http://www.gonetoosoon.org/ where you can setup a page and send a link to friends who with strangers can leave a comment.

With 2 deaths and a murder in the extended family last year lets hope it's not someting to think about for a while.

Next you'll be putting in burger vendors and coffee machines for those who want to dig their own plot.  ;D

While I like the idea of audio output, some nocturnal types do like to visit cemetries at night and I can only just imagine what would happen if you had an audio malfunction. Increasing the body count overnight is one downside the other is how do you control the content.

"I told you I was sick" is what I want on my audio AND on my mother's "where the f**k have you been for the last 6 months, don't you bother visiting anymore??" ;)

When I die, I want my body to be launched in Earths orbit (by private Chineese rocket launch company), so I circle arround planet Earth like a satelite. I will pay a lot of money for that.  8)

you are this close to the chinese new year. according to their folklore and or superstition it's bad luck to mention the c word. a curse even. so if your sales sink like a rock in 2009 and the year of the ox, you know why.  ;D
