If you want to make a big exit then a top, no holds-barred funeral would not be complete without a totally bling coffin.
Gold, of course, can be the only way forward but then what else?
Well, just in case you need to place some pizza orders in the after life, this crass casket comes compete with a mobile phone and GPS just in case someone wants to melt your resting place down.
I was going to comment on how good phone reception’s going to be 6-10 feet below the topsoil and encased in gold – but I’m thinking that there’s not going to be many complaints being texted into the funeral directors.
The price? 280,000 euros.

Mobile-Review seems to have a bit of a scoop – this, they say, is the new Vodafone 360 phone.
Dubbed the Vodafone Compass (which may confuse people as Vodafone Compass is also the name of a GPS app), it could well be the third Vodafone 360 social networking phone.
What makes this interesting, apart from the shape, is that the previous phones have been Samsung touchscreen numbers but here we have a square thing rocking a QWERTY board a-la Nokia 7705 Twist.
Vodafone 360 gives you a bunch of social networking niceness such as the geographic coordinates of friends, the address book yanks in Facebook updates and all sorts of contact options like IM and email.
Apparently some of the functions on the Compass 2010 will be gesture controlled using that centralised button on the back.
It should be able to cope with music playing and internet browsing.
So – is it hip to be square?
