Pabst Blue Ribbon Coffin... He must really love that crap...
SOUTH CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill. - Bill Bramanti will love Pabst Blue Ribbon eternally, and he's got the custom-made beer-can casket to prove it. "I actually fit, because I got in here," said Bramanti of South Chicago Heights.

The 67-year-old Glenwood village administrator doesn't plan on needing it anytime soon, though.
He threw a party Saturday for friends and filled his silver coffin — designed in Pabst's colors of red, white and blue — with ice and his favorite brew.
"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.
Bramanti ordered the casket from Panozzo Bros. Funeral Home in Chicago Heights, and Scott Sign Co. of Chicago Heights designed the beer can.

That's great - making sure your family knows what you want saves them lots of stress down the road (I'm sure PBR doesn't mind the publicity either).
The article "Answer One Question and Save Thousands of Dollars" (http://www.affairsorganizer.com/tellwhatyouwant.html) is all about why telling your family what you want is important from a financial perspective:
"When someone we love dies, “death care” businesses sometimes prey on our vulnerability by aggressively pushing very expensive and profitable “premium” products and services. In our grief and uncertainty, we end up spending huge sums of money to “show” how much we care ... Remember, if a deceased’s loved ones clearly understand that person’s wishes for moderately priced final arrangements, they are unlikely to fall for the old funeral salesman’s pitch: “Wouldn’t your loved one want the best?” Talk with your family and write down your preferences - save your loved ones thousands of dollars and spare them from having to argue and guess about what you would have wanted.
