Coffin Custom-Made to Look Like a Beer Can

South Chicago resident Bill Bramanti loves Pabst Blue Ribbon so much that he could never part with it. Now he will never have to.

The 67-year-old man ordered a custom casket from Panozzo Bro. Funeral home in Chicago Heights, and had Scott Sign of Chicago Heights make a huge wrapping designed to make the coffin look like a can of his favorite brew.

But that’s not all: He threw a party last Saturday for his friends and filled the coffin with ice and PBR, using it as a cooler.

“Why put such a great novelty piece up on a shelf in storage when you could use it only the way Bill Bramanti would use it?” said Bramanti’s daughter, Cathy Bramanti, 42.

But Bramanti says he does plan to be buried in the casket when the time comes, “I actually fit, because I got in here.”
