Bought a casket. What do?

So, now I have a casket.

Considered saving it for when I bite it but creamation is cheaper and idgaf. Could resell it but then what? I'd just fund another goofy project.

Ideas thus far:
>street legal casket go kart
>smoker
>just bolt in on the limbo roof and have people randomly pop up and wave in traffic or make it a sub box
>a beer cooler trailer for my wheelchair (not disabled. At least not that bad. But more and more events and festivals are banning fun. Can't ride golf carts and shit around. But i have an electric wheelchair.)

My favorite idea so far though is turning it into a beer fridge. I even have a buddy that's a professional air brush and pinstripe artist. And between me and an HVAC bro the damned thing should look and function like a store bought casket fridge. I guess?

Anyone else have ideas?

Under 3,000 people live in my county. We have 1 flashing stoplight. I was going to give the funeral home director cash but he was busy. Paid my buddy and tossed it in the truck.

I assume it got dropped and insurance claimed because nobody gave a shit about it for 8 months.

Get a human sized doll and dress it up like a corpse and put it inside.
Add some servo motor with a discretely hidden arm to open the lid automatically.
Add a motion detection sensor to detect when someone is near it.
Hook everything up to an Arduino or something, with a speaker for spooky noises.
When someone stands infront of it for a bit, have it make spooky noises and occasionally open the lid a bit with the servo.

Dig a deep hole and put the casket next to it. Kidnap an asshole at night and stuff him in there. Throw some dirt on top to make it sound like you are burying it and listen to him freak the fuck out for a bit. Film the whole thing for shits and giggles

I like that idea. You could use it as storage if you find a way to weather-proof it.
wouldn't make a good sub box not right material. Go kart could be cool too but it'd probably be slow. Can't imagine caskets are terribly light.

It doesn't weigh much in itself. And im pretty sure the rubber seals are water tight. Or close to it. I never even thought to use it as a storage.

It really wouldn't matter if it were just a prank, however doing it to a buddy could solve both the legal and physical risk problems.

Just make sure you've got beer for him to calm him down after

You could use it as a closet for your coats/jackets/umbrellas near your front door.

Turn it into a couch/sofa like other anon said seems like a good idea too. Have it out the front of your house and close the lid when not in use to protect the seat cushions.

TV stand, build into the cavity a sub and the audio receiver/amp.

A laundry cupboard for your ironing board, even better if the ironing board folds out.

A small, closable bookcase.

A "time out" box for naughty children.

I'm not a pro but 6 feet seems to be appropriate. Honestly id rather be buried in a refrigerator and use this for the fridge. Feels about the same guage metal and both have plastic handles.

>>1561172
Maybe. But i van barely get my fat ass in it alone. Haven't tried to shut the lid yet since the damned thing latches and it won't stop raining.

Stop being jealous because I'm having fun. Or at least if you're going to be a little bitch go do it somewhere else. Don't forget your fucking $18 cup of onions coffee and sign protesting capitalism.

Oh well, no matter how far you go in life you'll always have haters.
