The subject today speaks for itself. No elaboration needed from me.
The award goes to...Etsy.com for it's...Coffin Soooooofa
From its website, the following is offered:
Why not enjoy the comfort of the afterlife today? Through the miracle of modern carpentry you too can have your own little piece of heaven. This little gem has a velvet covered thick foam cushion and classic metal spring construction seat. It folds up to a fully shut position.Available in purple, red,or black fabric. Drop me a line for more information.
Sigh...if they just had it in Mediterranean Blue, I could be enjoying it today. Shit, I so had my heart set on it.

Dovetails nicely with the new season of True Blood.
I was thinking Morticia Addams, but I could see it in Fangtasia.
If it is funeral certified $3500 ain't so bad. If you die while watching re-runs of Jon and Kate or other mind killing tripe they can just lay you down fold it up and send it off.
Beyond WTF?
I once temp'd at a casket manufacturer, doing data entry. I was amazed at how luxe the boxes were. Creeped me out that they warehoused them standing upright, though -- like fancy fridges.
Anyone read Jessica (Decca) Mitford's The American Way of Death? A real eye-opener even now.
Surely they'd sell loads of the coffin sofas to Goths if they did them in black?
$3,500 isn't so bad if you can actually use it to be laid to rest in. Also, would make a great gift for the old codger in your life as a not-so-subtle hint at "how much we love you and wanted you to know it before you're gone. Now just lay down here aunt Emma and make yourself comfortable. There, there. Ain't that nice?" "And see here, you can just close this lid when that mean old sun gets too bright now..."
To ALL---see, I told you it needed no comment from me. You all go funnily with my coffee.
It has to be delivered by hearse, and carried in by six guys in black.
If it's funeral certified, does that mean it won't leak fluids, body or otherwise...?
Creepy
Lou---Me?
I think it's kind of nifty looking -- don't care much for the legs, though. And it makes as much as sense as some of the other things people do with custom coffins, like using them as coffee tables, while they're waiting for the day to come when they get to occupy the box.
And, yep, if it's funeral-certified that means it's got the plastic lining under the padding to make sure nothing disgusting leaks during the visitation and/or funeral service.
Doug---coffee spills, things such as that?
Anon---"funeral-certified"...as if the occupant gives a shit.
