I want to buy a coffin for a coffee table.

I want to buy a coffin for a coffee table.

So my ethical dilemma is: Is it inappropriate to just buy the real thing?

I’m feeling conflicted. I really like the idea of a coffin table that looks like a coffin. Originally I thought I might build one but I just happened to find a coffin retailer in my area that has almost exactly what I want (Also found some online). They are actually cheaper than an actual coffee table and well I have ADHD and already have so many projects that are 90% incomplete. Also the pro of the real thing is I would be able to use it for blanket storage or valuables. I was originally planning on a large storage ottoman

I have done a lot of after life care working in healthcare and have a lot of respect for death but I also don’t come from a culture that does funerals, coffins (we just do a pine box, cremation and celebration of life)

Hi! Thanks for having me here! Scored these display casket ends from my funeral home’s showroom. They are meant to mount on the wall. Im thinking about turning them into end tables with a glass top.
