 Bill Bramanti, poses with a coffin he had specially made designed to look like a can of his favorite beer, Pabst Blue Ribbon.

"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.

I cannot imagine liking PBR quite THAT much...and I was born and raised in Milwaukee. (My Uncles all worked for Miller Beer.)
However, make mine a Leinenkugel Casket. :)
