Want to be buried in an iPhone coffin? How about a Vista, Halo 3, or GTA IV casket?

You wouldn't be seen dead without your iPhone, eh?

We're not normally in the habit of perusing coffins, as even with the excessive amount of beverages consumed last night at our T3 Summer Party, we still feel we've got a good 60-odd years ahead of us. However, when a CD full of images of post-life habitats lands on our desks from Creative Coffins, we obviously got thinking.

 

- See the new iPhone 3G S from Apple 

- See the world's hottest Halo gamer

 

How many people would want to be buried in a coffin made to resemble an iPhone? Surely all those fanboys literally can't live without their Apple handsets? Wouldn't it be apt to be ensconced in a Microsoft Vista desktop wallpaper coffin, after having a heart attack from seeing one too many Blue Screens Of Death? Maybe those who had a killer case of D-pad thumb would fancy one styled after a Super Nintendo controller?

 

 

Granted, these choices aren't actually on offer from Creative Coffins, however the environmentally-friendly company promises a full bespoke service, where they're able to "create almost any design from the dignified and beautiful to the quirky or humorous". What about from Halo 3's Master Chief, to a GTA IV-inspired design, though? We mocked up six images of coffins we'd love to be buried in, take a look through the gallery on the right.

 

 

Any why not let us know which one you'd choose to accompany you when six feet under, by voting in our poll below? Personally, I've selected the Vista coffin, and have just added my request to my last will and testament.
