DIY Coffin Clubs are a thing in New Zealand

Rather than going to the park to feed birds, senior citizens in New Zealand are reverting to another hobby: Casket Making. Clubs around New Zealand are gaining support as these seniors trying to avoid boredom funnel in to make their final resting container. The idea is actually pretty ingenious, it is cost effective and cheaper than traditional caskets as kits only cost 170$, and if you were to participate in one of these clubs, you would be able to design your own casket which would be pretty awesome. Once they are finished with their own caskets, members of the club will often assist other in their projects, or make other caskets for charity. I was surprised to see the headline because I don’t think a club like this would be as popular in the United States, however, if the trend were to cross the Pacific, I would probably be interested in participating.
