Coffin Couches "Red Black": $3,500
Red Black: $3,500

We at Coffin Couches [...] strongly believe in recycling. Our niche happens to be 18 gauge steel coffins which we collected from local funeral homes primarily in Southern California. [...] These coffins are not used for burial due to slight cosmetic inconsistencies. They are reconfigured and modified resulting in a finished product – a unique one a kind coffin couch.

Coffin Couches.

Yes, really.

I want one.


Low Rider: $3,500


Red Baron (my personal favorite): $3,500


Back Draft: $4,500

I could say so many things about “resting in peace,” “death: the ultimate form of recycling,” and even make a vampire joke or two, but some of these designs don’t even look coffin-y.  I see the gothic influence, and the dark feel, but if I didn’t know they were made from coffins, it wouldn’t be immediately obvious.

(Did that argument sound convincing enough for my boyfriend to believe?)
