Would you like a coffin with that?

Yep, you read it correctly, coffin, sooo without me even realizing it the last two years for my birthday I have "on purpose" surrounded myself with death even though my birthday is suppose to be about the day I was born and celebrating my life... anyways... not sure how this happened...

Last year I took my second verger lead tour of Westminster Abbey (a must!) if you don't already know (and you should) Westminster Abbey is jam packed with thousands of very important dead people...

This year I took the Mister to see the "Crazy Coffins" at the Royal Festival Hall near Waterloo/London Eye area... the "Death Festival" was going on, but I just wanted to see the "Crazy Coffins".  It was pretty wild to think real people had these made on purpose, but whatever floats your boat, you only live or in this case die once (or so I believe)

I'm not going to go into detail about all the coffins because I actually didn't read all the stories. After all, it was my birthday and I didn't want to completely depress the sh!t out of myself.

All the coffins were either made in Ghana by the famous Paa Joe Workshop or Crazy Coffins in Nottingham, UK.

The exhibit ended yesterday so if you missed it, don't you worry because I took a picture of every one of them ENJOY! :

This is for a lady who wants to be buried in the fetal position

This is for a lady who thinks she's from "Viking Stock"

bargain coffin... made of cardboard...

this was a bit creepy to watch ...

A kite? really?

Looked pretty uncomfortable, but I guess if you are dead you are not going to care...

A train...

This was probably my favorite one

The plane was for a pilot, he wanted to be buried in a plane that was especially made for him. When it's time the wings and tail with come off so that it'll fit in his pre-paid plot.

This was for an 11 year and I will not share the story.

yep, that's a skier.
