Man Patents Self-Burying Coffin 159
disco_tracy writes "A California inventor has filed a patent for a coffin that screws into the ground vertically. The reason?

Writer Clark Boyd also lists 5 other unconventional burial options, including lye, ecopods, GPS devices that track bodies buried without headstones, cryogenics and — my favorite — getting buried in the sky."

There couldn't be a better audience for this product announcement than slashdot. This is perfect for all of us who will die alone in our basements, with nobody to attend the funeral. Just flick a switch and it's done.
