Coffin-shaped bathroom!

Let's say you're at a funeral and you have to pee or worse—bust a grumpy!

Normally, you'd be out of luck. But not in Millaa Millaa, Australia. Because look, over there . . .

See that coffin-shaped tombstone? It's not a tombstone, it's a working toilet, with its own sewage system and everything! According to this news article:

It's the loo that is taking the term toilet humour to a whole new level - and it has Millaa Millaa residents in a spin. 

After being told it would cost more than $80,000 to build a toilet at the local cemetery, the Chamber of Commerce decided to take issues into their own hands and build their own - in the shape of a coffin. 

"You have to be careful, not everyone is going to have our macabre sense of humour," Chamber president Pat Reynolds said. "But we did it with good intentions. It's for firstly, the cemetery, and secondly, maybe a few more people will notice Millaa Millaa."

Hey, I noticed!

Crafts are fun!

Look, you can make your own Do-It-Yourself Coffin!

And depending on how big you make it, your coffin can work for pets AND people!

Also, note the line at the bottom of this book's cover:

A Schiffer Book for Woodworkers Who Want to Be Buried in Their Work.

Make Me a Coffin with Racing Flames!

Death is just part of life. And since life is gross, it makes sense that death would be gross, too. (I mean, all that decomposing…come on!)

But just because death is disgusting doesn’t mean it has to be such a downer. Or at least, that’s the attitude of the good people at . . . Happy Coffins!

The Happy Coffin website says that they want to “dismantle the taboos surrounding Death & Dying by encouraging 'die-logues' about this often-sensitive subject.” 

Get it? DIE-logues? You’re killing me! And once that happens, you may as well put me in a light-hearted coffin. And that's actually a healthy attitude to take about death. Even so, I was surprised to see that the Happy Coffin people had set up a page for “Death” on Facebook. (Do I really have to be FRIENDS with it?!)
