A US man has custom-built himself a coffin to resemble a giant can of his favourite beer.
Bill Bramanti, 67, says he doesn't plan on using the coffin for its official purpose yet and has instead filled it with ice and beer to use as a cooler.
Bramanti - who paid £1,000 to have the coffin painted like a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer - said: "I'm going to use it as a cooler until I really need it. You see, I'm going to get my money's worth. Hopefully I get to use it many times." Bramanti said he revealed the unusual coffin to his family during a mock-wake at his house.
