You can't take it with you. Well, unless you buy a gold-plated coffin. SmartMoney looks at a pair of luxury coffin options for the person who wants to be first class, six feet under.

For $24,000 you can get Batesville Casket's Promethean bronze coffin with gold plating. That model reportedly has a little history, as it was the same model used in the funeral of singer Michael Jackson.

Would you spend $35,000 for a gold-plated coffin? | The Sideshow - Yahoo! News

That's nuts! I don't even believe in 'vaults' for coffins....I mean, who's gonna dig it up and see if it still looks good?

I think a cardboard box is more than enough for burials!

I want to take my car with me, but the cemetary won't let me.
