Does anyone else remember the show on Nickelodeon where a family was sleeping in tupperware at night? Was it an episode of 'Are You Afraid of the Dark?'

Where's the NASCAR coffins? After I went through all the trouble of getting this "3" shaved into my back hair, I want a dang NASCAR coffin.

If I have a big red racecar as my bed, I want it as my coffin too!

"Eerie, Indiana"


I still have the book version of that episode in my attic.

Meh, they're just taking a standard coffin and painting it. I was expecting something that looked like a car or a set of boobies or something.

Those suck, this one is cool though:

Fueled up for the highway to heaven(pops)

All these modifications and never the obvious one, wheels. Why carry the fatass out when you can push them?

wasn't there an old episode of Eerie Indiana that had Tupperware Coffin's, well "Life Preservation units" made of tupperware

do i smell a photoshop contest?

Cremation, Ashes crushed into a Diamond, Duck Tape, Deep Space mission vehicle!

Coffin? Pshaw!

So...its all the same style coffin...just with different pictures on it.

I guess that can be considered creative.

I want to be ground up into mulch and used to fertilize something.

The Tupperware coffin: takes 6 men to carry it, but only 3 to burp it...

"I'd rather be buried in a Chevy than drive Ford."

Meh, I've seen weirder.

There was a National Geographic article awhile back about African coffins taking the shape of the hobby of the dead person..

Like a car coffin.. Its a coffin shaped like a car.

/too lazy to google search for the actual article and link it.

whoops, mine is second, and crappier

All the coffins in the article are 'shopped. I got an email of a similar sort using a tractor trailer.

Too lazy to do linky linky on sidekick.

When I die I don't want my wife to go into debt just to put me in the friggin ground. Dig a hole, dump my corpse in, fill with dirt. Leave a marker if you want to. I won't care, I'll be dead.

Just a Glad Bag for me, thanks.

My tractor trailer driving instructor said when he dies he wants to be cremated and have his ashes spread from the back of a flatbed at 65mph, Breaker 1-9 I got Gary in my grill!!

Here's a link to the "Foreverware" episode for you Eerie fans:

Waste. Of. Money



JUST BECAUSE WE'RE BEREAVED DOESNT MAKE US SAPS!

UVbLue: If I have a big red racecar as my bed, I want it as my coffin too!

Yeah but it's a farkin' sweet car. My roommates said they might be getting me some spinners for christmas, or maybe a CB so I can talk to other carbeds.

I agree with some others those are poorly shopped pics.

Here's a link I saw earlier this year RE: coffins...
Costco to sell coffins

I'm not sure about my coffin, maybe a mirror polished seamless titanium ellispoid. But I DO know what I want my grave marker to be. One of those Crystallix 3D glass things. With a a scale 3d image of my head. That would be cool.

I saw a Doonesbury originally published in I think the 70s in which one of the characters said they knew the baby-boomer generation was on the way off this mortal coil when designer coffins started showing up.

Never forgotten that strip... and I knew it was going to happen.

I refuse to die until they can create a holographic image of my head floating above my burial site, with an AI programmed to be just like me only more cantankerous and grouchy, yelling various things at passersby.

"Hey! HEY!!! Come here! I'm bored, someone come talk to me! I'm a disembodied head, I can't rightly go walking around and socializing! fark your grandpa, come talk to me! Yeah yeah, drop the flowers on his grave, but ignore me. You BASTARD!"

I'd rather be buried in Tupperware than one of those cheapass coffins. Better yet, that much-less-expensive fake Tupperware at the supermarket.

\giving her body to science.
\\cheap and helpful

I don't want a coffin to be buried in. I want one to sleep in. A nice, air-conditioned one with filters and ionizers, a waterbed-and-memory-foam mattress, and a surround-sound and HD video system patched into my computer.

When I die, I want to be recycled or left for scientific study or such. No sense wasting resources on a corpse.

Akaziel
wow, i laughed for a good 5 minutes when I read that....

That's lame... now THESE are creative coffins.

occasionalcontributer, holy shiat thank for the link. The internets are great, didn't think I'd see eerie indiana again.

As for me, I'll go for a 50/50 if they can. half in a pine box in the ground... half off of a boat for the fish.

Oh dear jezzus why do I let such ideas dwell in my head?

/has family in plastics engineering
//time to accept the absurdity and just go to step 3?

Eternal rest under a stay-fresh lid, fanbladesaresharp?

Just a pine box, thanks.

Why spend money on a corpse? Give it to someone who can use it.

I am going to be cremated, have my ashes put into a pinata and let everyone get one last shot in...

I wanna be blown up!

/obscure

/cheaper
//Respect Mother Earth, recycle.

For me:

Cremation followed by a muffin mix.

At the wake...a large tray off muffins to snack on

geoffb91: now THESE are creative coffins.

Okay, if I can't go with the disembodied holographic head, I wanna be buried in a giant fiberglass uterus. That's awesome.

the tupperware coffins....will they 'burp' when being closed?

Pfft, why destory the body? Taxidermy for me, and add joints and moveable parts so I'm the giant dead-guy action figure.

I can't remember the name of the movie, but did the scene end with the narrator girl saying "After it stopped raining grandpa..."?

As I tell anyone who offers to buy my 86 IROC-Z, I'm gonna be buried in it.

Perhaps smitty is being a bit obscure, but this reminds me of an episode of MST3K. During the new technology segment, the Mads unveiled some sort of Tupperware Coffin designed to "seal in pop star freshness". Inside was some guy done up like Morrisey. When they opened the container, his one line was, "Did I tell you I cried?" Priceless. I lost it after they sealed him back in and burped the lid.

Kinda hard to bury something up on blocks, no?

I liked the one about toe nail disease, especially if that's what kills ya.
