Even though the subject of death and burial is sad for the loved ones of the deceased, a New Zealand artist named Ross Hall is using his creative powers to uplift the spirits of the relatives who lose a loved one.
Ross in 2003 started a company called Dying Art which he creates custom caskets that have colorful images like chocolate bars, fire trucks and objects of various colors to make the coffin look nice to the eyes of the relatives of the deceased since even though the loss of a loved one is painful, at least seeing the casket of the deceased in a form that they likely would enjoy eases the pain a little bit.
The colorful caskets remind me of buses and other forms of travel that have colorful images of company logos and celebrities images painted on them like the buses in Panama had images of western characters, celebrities and images of the Center Of The Universe painted on them.

I don't know how I feel about this. I don't know if I'd want my husband in a hot dog.

That is a good reply since when I pass away I would like my urn to have the image of the Bridge of the Americas.

@LindaOHio The reason is because when I lived in Panama in the former Canal Zone, the Bridge of the Americas was close to the home.

It works for me when I am feeling down due to the pressures of life.

Hmm, well whatever floats your boat I guess.

You are right since I wrote a blog of a deceased bus driver who was buried in a casket that was painted with the colors of the bus that he drove.

Creative, not the first person to do something like that.
