In what mode of transportation do you plan on traveling the highway to heaven? A pine box? Coffee can? Stomach of a shark? Some automotive enthusiasts will be taking the (high or low) road via a vintage, custom-built Mercury coupe or Mercedes-Benz sedan.
Cruisin Caskets is the manufacturer of the Mercury coupe caskets, complete with a painted fiberglass shell. Each casket offers the choice to customize everything from the paint and upholstery, to the style of rims and personalized license plate. For those who like to enjoy their hard earned dollar in the here-life, they can also choose to turn their coffin into a bench, centerpiece table, or tailgate drink cooler.
If a couple thousands bucks for a show quality piece sounds a bit overpriced, the Kane Kwei Carpentry Workshop in Ghana can build just about any vehicle out of wood, for the cost of only $600 a piece, not including shipping. One of their most popular items is the Mercedes sedan, although they are also quite skilled at fabricating coke bottles, lobsters, cell phones, roosters, and airplanes.
Who says you can’t take it with you?
