Coffin Lets You Party To Spotify In The Afterlife

For those of you who cannot keep still, this might be just the ticket.
Swedish company Pause Ljud & Bild is offering coffins complete with speakers and a streaming Spotify account to keep the tunes rocking in the grave.
For $30,000, audiophiles can jam all afterlife long in one of these special coffins, known as the CataCombo Sound System and featuring two-way speakers and a “divine” subwoofer.
Might even be enough to bring down the House of Usher

Actually, the following is what I really want to do with my coffin.
I have one ready, mainly because I got for free from a student who was doing a holiday job at an undertaker’s. (We carried it into the house on our shoulders with much curtain twitching from the neighbours across the road…)

Chinese student Zeng Jie staged a ‘rehearsal’ for her own funeral because she didn’t want to miss the festivities.
My idea is to rent out the whole funeral experience – so we know what our loved (and not so loved) ones really think of us, and we can join in the party.
Friends could have the whole thing – the wake, party and speeches.
It could all be filmed, and the film could be shown at the real event when it eventually happens.
This could also be a great way to let people know what you want to happen at your funeral e.g. what music and readings

I have had this idea for 20 years or so now. Any takers? Or undertakers?

 

While we’re at it, do you know what happens to your digital stuff when you die?

And Why You Can’t Bequeath Your Digital Library?

In case this is all getting a bit weird, I will return to guitar-type stories soon.
And yes, I do still keep the coffin in the house!
I was considering leaving it to someone in my will.
