From Beyond the Grave: €23,500 Coffin Plays Music in Your Casket After You’re Gone

If you’re worried about the lack of music underground after you’re gone, the Catacomb Sound System might be something to invest. Well, that is if you’re into listening to music from beyond the grave.

This unusual invention designed by Fredrik Hjelmquist, uses Spotify to route music to speakers that are built into your coffin. The playlist then continues to play forever.

According to its creators:

“Customers can compile their own personal playlists before they die and the music will be streamed into their coffin.”

“And even when they have gone relatives can update the songs for their dearly departed via Spotify and a 'Catatomb app' using a touch screen built into the gravestone.”

“The music is piped into the casket via two-way front speakers, 4in mid-bass drivers, 'divine' tweeters and 'a hell-of-an-8-inch subwoofer.' They are all powered by a custom 2.1 amp and fine-tuned to the coffin's unique interior acoustic space which is fitted with an external cooling system so they don't overheat."

Not only that but people above ground can add a song to your playlist to “spare you a thought” when you’re no longer with them.

Here’s a video demonstrating the coffin in action:

At €23,500, would you fork over this amount of cash to have your favourite tunes piped through your casket?
