Buried in Style: Cruisin Caskets

By on January 14, 2013 in Inventions


Cruisin Caskets is a casket fabricating company that creates custom car designs for the car lover that wants to leave this world in style. They are currently taking orders for a 1950’s style “Mercury coffin”.

The specially designed, car-shaped coffin opens as conventional coffins do, with a hinged top portion, and features the same type of upholstered interior as standard coffins. Cruisin Caskets have a fiberglass body and may come in a variety of paint colors and designs.

They were featured in episode five of the television show Invent This! in 2003. Video after the jump.

    Those are simply amazing! Talk about going in style. :-) I am not surprised there is a market for unique things like this. It reminds me of the “My Name Is Earl” episode where the funeral home posed the dead bodies in unique positions, like the dead guy that was sitting back in a chair watching a football game.
