What a wonderful idea! If I wasn't set on being sewn up in a piece of hemp and planted under a tree I'd want a personalised coffin. No idea what - at the moment a Tardis would be cool, and at least it would make my brother smile.

In Kenya the relatives of the deceased beggar themselves by placing large newspaper announcements. They also cost the equivilant of months worth of wages, but the more people that chip in, the larger the ad and the more expensive it is. Many of them have photos of the person "Promoted to Glory"

I prefer the coffins.
