Dr. Who Coffin for the Timelord who has run out of time

Posted in Sci-Fi by Conner Flynn on April 19th, 2011

Even Timelords die eventually after 12 regenerations, and when they do they need an appropriate send off. A coffin fit for an explorer of time and space. One like this, displaying his Tardis and some of his deadly enemies.

This Doctor Who coffin comes from the guys over at Creative Coffins. They will take any theme you want and create a coffin that will make your funeral a bit more lively. Seems a shame to bury such a beautiful bit of art, but if it’s the only thing you are taking with you, why not.

Xbox 360 Coffin

Gamers love their consoles. When a console dies, it’s like mourning a dear friend who you have spent years with. So you have to bury it appropriately. When the Red Ring of Death strikes, don’t just throw your Xbox 360 in the closet. Bury it.

This coffin, designed by Alexis Vanamois, will allow it to rest in peace in video game heaven. It even has space for an accompanying controller, even though your controller will likely outlive the console.

The Screw Coffin

They screw you in life, so why not in death? Life is just the turn of some giant screw anyway. Screw it. The Screw coffin puts a new spin on coffins and burials. It works pretty much how you would think. Insert the body of your loved one into the large screw, screw it into the ground and you’re done.

One cool thing is that the lid is your grave marker. Not only would such a system save space in cemetaries, but it’s also bound to be more economical. I would imagine it’s also easier to exhume bodys as you just unscrew it.

Coffin mousetrap makes it easy to dispose of your kill

Coffin mousetrap makes it easy to dispose of your killThis is a brilliant idea for a mousetrap. Normally you’d set the trap out, come back later to find the corpse stuck to the trap and toss it in the trash or in your neighbors yard. This leads to trouble with your neighbor and if you throw it in your trash can, you now have to take out the trash because that’s just gross.

But with this coffin mousetrap by Sarah Dery, the trap sits in the rat’s final resting place, the coffin. No muss, no fuss. So all you need to do is bury the coffin. In the trash. Or throw it in your neighbors yard. Whatever. That twitchy rat bastich got what he deserved.

Star Trek line of Urns and Caskets

Star Trek line of Urns and CasketsWe knew about the coffin that looks like a photon torpedo, but the urns are new to us. You can now feel free to die and STILL pretend you are in the Trek universe. At long last the caskets will be available in early 2009, so that all your friends can get in costume and stand over it, reciting classic lines from ST II.

But that’s not all. Monuments and vaults will also be available soon from the company. They are really working hard to profit from cold geek death. Maybe their next trick will be tricking out your corpse in all kinds of Borg gear. That I can get behind.

Coffin modded car makes for one morbid race

Coffin modded car makes for one morbid race
Here’s a car to die for…I bet the engine croaked…These things are normally kept underground to prevent 3 coffin pile-ups on the highway. Bad jokes aside, where do you get the gonads to make a car out of a coffin? Isn’t that like thumbing your nose at death? It can only end with a high speed chase,with a very unhappy grim reaper on your tail. Of course it’s a fairly easy mod. You get a new coffin.(Yeah. Don’t go digging up relatives.) Add an engine,wheels steering etc and you’re off.
