The Phone Angel
If you've ever wanted to phone up someone who's dead, then Jürgen Bröther has the solution for you: the Phone Angel. If I understand it correctly, this is basically a speakerphone installed inside a coffin. It's configured so that whenever it senses an incoming call, it'll turn on, so that your voice will be broadcast inside the coffin. Just don't expect the occupant of the coffin to speak back. Or maybe they will... The weirdest part of the whole deal is that he offers a rebate if you return the phone once it's battery wears out. Of course, to retrieve the phone you have to dig the coffin back up. (via The Anomalist)

It's not IN the coffin, it's 30cm. below the surface. It can still be dug up. So it's really just a speaker in the middle of a cemetery.
Sounds creepy to me!

So if it's not in the coffin, what's the point? You could just yell down at the ground... which would be free.

But this way you can do it ELECTRONICALLY. Plus you find a way of disposing of that pesky 2 grand you had rotting in your wallet.
