Maybe you can take it with you. With the new bacon coffin, you'll spend eternity with your favorite cured meat. What could be better?

Though not literally made from bacon, the bacon coffin is painted to look as if it is covered in savory strips. An article from Seattle's King5.com  reports that local company J&D's Foods created the casket. This isn't the first time the company has found inspiration in bacon. J&D is also responsible for unleashing Bacon Salt and Baconnaise on the world.

A bacon coffin doesn't come cheap -- $2,999.99 plus shipping. But the interior does come with a bacon memorial tube and a bacon-themed air freshener. So you'll have that going for you ... which is nice.

I think the entire concept of spending several Thousand Dollars on a Box to be buried in the ground is Crazy! It hardly matters to the deceased if they are laying on Hand Woven Thai Silk or Broke Glass! My family knows I want to be Cremated in a Pine Box...But now that you mention it...Wrapping my head in Bacon like a Giant Fattie might be fun for S#!T's and Giggles...

...JJ
