    Interested in starting your own coffin club? We did a followup interview with Katie as well as Kate & Kate, the founders of a coffin club in the UK to get their stories and advice. www.freethink.com/articles/i-want-to-build-my-own-coffin

    "Underground Furniture"
    This is the first bit of light-hearted morbid humor that I've ever laughed at with a genuine smile and no guilt.
    Thank you for the laugh. xD

    This is a great idea, these people have come to grips with transition from here to there.
    It does not have to be a fearful journey.
    I would love to participate in a club like this, absolutely mentally freeing.

    Old folks in the US used to build their own coffins, and sleep in them to make sure they fit comfortably.

    Such a great idea on soooo many levels. Kindship from the group, creativity, you can show your personality, reduce costs, make a lasting impression / statement, the list goes on.
    Not to mention, what it must do to help your prepare mentally, being around a whole bunch of like minded people preparing the same way.

    If you like this series, you might also like ‘in a nutshell’. I like it more because they’re really good at making complicated things easy to understand. As well as telling you about solutions to big problems. And predicting the future with the power of science.

    I’m a chirpy chippy and I’m making my own and it’s going to be airbrushed with slayer decals and im going to put my iPod on repeat with every slayer song with speakers and a battery backup and a solar panel on my headstone. My family have my two songs to be played for my service the first is god hates us all and second is south of heaven may even have time for post-mortem at the end but this is what I’ve requested and if it’s not respected I’ll be back each night to wake them ⚰️🇦🇺👍hopefully when / if anyone visits they can still here the guys banging away

    You know the one guy is a traditional old carpenter, he's missing a finger on one hand, and two on the other. When I was a kid in the 60s-70s, old men missing fingers were a common sight.
