In Helsingin Sanomat, last friday there was an interesting article about new trends of death. As an example one woman was showing her own coffin that was waiting for her passing away in her lobby at her home. She also had a dress ready for her burial.

Shall we have designed coffins in the future? There certainly are new trends for death. For example Ecopod is making designed coffins made of recycled paper, Swedish company Promessa is advertising new way of ecological burial. There are virtual cemetaries for people and for pets in the Internet.  Or what about a coffin with a design of Nokia mobile phone?

While walking in the forest I spotted another kind of epitaph. That you can see in the picture below. The graffiti was made for some young man who died in the age of 28 (according to the dates in the graffiti).  That young man surely had great friends!
