Society's obsession with death is undeniable. This cluster of funeral innovations shows that fear is not always at the forefront of our death-related thoughts. The perfect casket or funeral theme can be a great way to express your zest for life.
These funeral innovations feature all kinds of ways to celebrate death. From iPhone-inspired coffins to burger boxes as caskets, I hope you enjoy scoping them all out.
Implications - Consumers in the modern age are looking for products that express themselves. Items with personal details injected in them are appealing to those who want to differentiate themselves from other customers. Focusing on this aspect of detail could help a company grow their brand.
