Some people prefer to call them caskets, or coffins, some go with toe pinchers or sarcophagus. A burial container by any name is still holder of person’s remains for all eternity.
Then again is it real “just” a container? To some it is representing an aspect of there life. This is your resting place for all eternity so you might want to take the time and visit a local funeral home to preorder your casket. Would you really want the people with Elvis TV trays and book selves made from old lumber and cinder blocks found out back of the Piggly-Wiggly picking something you will be in for eternity? You know that will pick one you wouldn’t want to be caught dead in (sorry had to go there)!
Here are just a few ideas…
An Australian company (LifeArt) has come
up with this stylish line of casket that can be custom designed to reflect the occupant inside.

An Australian company (LifeArt) has come
up with this stylish line of casket that can be custom designed to reflect the occupant inside. Next we have the most earthly looking eco-coffin are Capsula Mundi, created by a pair of Italian designers who want to remove the taboo from the burial process by giving it a new conception. 
The egg-shaped container is made of bioplastic and is designed so the deceased rests inside in the fetal position. The capsule is then “planted” in the earth like a bulb with a shallow circular depression dug above to symbolize the presence of the body and then tree is planted in this depression. The location of these burials will take place in groups with sites becoming “sacred memorial groove.” These groves are quintessential representation of a sprouting seed, perfectly encapsulating the designers’ goal of death as an opportunity to nourish the earth for the future.
In this economy people are looking to get the most bangs for their buck. So why not pick a coffin that you can use now and later. These coffins are made to be used furniture… book selves, tables, couches (and this comes with its on added bounce anything you find under the cushions goes with you to include the remote control), there are love seats (for people that are vertically challenged) and beds. A bed you say? Why yes a bed is great idea. If your family should find that you expired peacefully in your sleep (or any other activity you might be doing while in your bed) they just have to slap the lid closed and bingo your ready to go with no fuss. I would strongly advice against getting this type of bed for a child. It’s best to stick with the big scary clown beds (sorry I digress). The possibilities are endless.
