British comedian Karl Pilkington recently commissioned a rather unique coffin. In a comedic travel show called The Moaning of Life that is hosted by Pilkington, one episode took place in Ghana. While in the African country he met up with a custom coffin maker, which inspired him to commission a double casket for he and his girlfriend.
This unique coffin is in the shape of his favorite chocolate bar, the Twix. Outside, the casket looks exactly like the famous candy bar. Even the edges are zig-zagged to look like an actual wrapper. To go inside the morbid confection you lift the lid off and just climb into one of the two beds. The inside is in a plush golden yellow material. This is definitely a sweet way to be buried.
