"One of the most unusual coffins that we have supplied is the Red Arrows jet coffin for a customer who is passionate about them. We were on television with one of the Ghanaian Fantasy Coffins, a Mercedes Benz - (in Ghana you are usually buried in a coffin which denotes your trade: a boat for a fisherman, an eagle for a chief et cetera) - and we were perceived as having made it ourselves. Consequently we received an order for a Jet ... of course, this coffin is only suitable for a burial! In this case we had to design it so that the nose and wings were detachable in order for it to fit into the grave"

How many of us would go that far?

I know when Tom Jones died back in 90, his coffin was painted the same as his Pitts/sukoi.
