    That was both morbid and appaling, why would anyone want such products???? (I'll take IKEA kitchens anyday...)

    Two of my brothers work at the St. Meinrad Archabby in Southern Indiana. I suppose you could say that I grew up in - or near - its shadow. For many years, the priests and monks there were able to buy or even build their own coffins often with humorour results: monks use their empty coffins as coffee tables or stand them on end opened with shelves inside.

    The archabby has started commercializing their caskets. You can see them here:
