Instead of stuffing your lifeless body in a boring old box, why not get buried in a giant guitar? 160-year-old Vic Fearn and Company, based in the United Kingdom, has created an art gallery dubbed Crazy Coffins. The caskets are for people from all walks of life, including skateboarders and skiers, a building contractor who wants to be buried in a big yellow dumpster and a woman who'd like to get stuffed into an oversized egg. Check them out. [Crazy Coffins]

Bury me in a Star Destroyer and i'll be happy
Oh thank god, now I don't feel as weird about getting an NES controller coffin.
As long as I can be buried on the moon, I don't care much what my coffin looks like...
No iPhone coffin? BAHHH HUMBAG!
Ah, I see. They're going for the "casual-lifer" demographic. Blue-Ocean, baby!
Am I the only one who finds the idea of putting a dead person in an egg... kind-of ironic?
I'd Like to be buried in a butcher-paper covered box wrapped in twine, with a big stamp on it that says RETURN TO SENDER.
do you have to get mashed up post life to fit in some of these?
I bet the grave diggers will be unamused looking at the size of some of them.
real case mods haar haaar
what would elvis be doing if he was still alive?
scratching to get out!!
What does this have to do with gadgets? I thought Gizmodo was the digital gadgets blog, not the "I just got another Press release" blog.
At least you could have shown us the porn star casket.
They should make one of these shaped like a phallus, because that's what you're going to look like laying in one of these things.
If memory serves there's some SE Asian country that uses elaborately carved/created caskets to bury their dead. The ones they make typically have some deep meaning for the dearly departed, usually having to do with what they did in life. I think it's in Indonesia ... anyone?
Are you really going to care what you are buried in? You are dead ya know?
I also remember seeing a story in the National Geographic about a region in West Africa where that's popular. Some fisherman had a coffin shaped like an enormous fish.
@Xeno...
Yeah, that may have been it. I guessed Indonesia 'cause they're so into intricate woodcarving but, yeah, could well have been an African country.
Seems that they put the "fun" in funeral.
