This is interesting. Is rest the flip-side ? In the middle ages coffins for the elite were made of lead. Which is poisonous. Steel is safer. … hmm, now I must write something about portable steel coffins. Juana la Loca of Spain would have liked this coffin. She had a portable dead husband.

Frizz,
I’m very sorry to have stolen your photo. I found it through a search and, like an idiot, didn’t realize it was copyrighted. I’ve taken it down, now, and won’t do this again in the future.

Frizz, is that a water hose reel beside it? Did the departed take the hose, just in case? 😉

we should ask Dirk Spennemann – the Australian historian and photographer; I remembered that already the old pharaos tried to have a safe home after death; the portable steel grave is maybe a good solution for families who like to live in motorhomes and camping vans? Grandpa always side by side?
