Holland launches Fun Burials
A Dutch entrepreneur is offering what he hopes will be the latest extreme sport – ‘fun burials’.
For 75 euros, people can be buried 5ft down in a coffin for an hour – under a 3.5 tonne concrete block, reports Nu.nl.
The coffin has an oxygen supply, a panic button and is linked by webcam to a computer which friends and family can watch.
