Funeral directors in Germany are bidding for the pink pound - by launching coffins specially designed for gay customers.
The caskets feature homoerotic artwork on the outside and come with a series of tastefully luxurious plush designer interiors, say makers Mike Konigsfeld and Tom Brandl in Cologne, Germany.
The designers - who have lived together for more than 10 years - say the images of muscular young men in classical poses are the perfect way to send off a loved one.
"Naturally there were some people who threw their hands up in horror when we had them on display in the window but they are tasteful and beautiful - like our customers," explained Mike.

Fabulous: 'Gay Coffins' With Homoerotic Artwork
There are a couple of obvious jokes that can be made but I'll skip them and just offer the story.
Funeral directors in the US are real money hungry alqways looking for ways to upsell or cross sell funeral add-on like upgrading caskets ect. Another option is to embalming is cremation to cut the costs.
