Bill Bramanti really likes beer. In fact, he loves it so
much that he plans spending eternity close to his favorite beer brand, Pabst
Blue Ribbon.
Some may consider this freaky, but Bramanti decided to order
a coffin shaped as a Pabst Blue Ribbon can-beer, designed to fit his body:
5-feet-9 inches tall and 280 pounds weight.
“I actually fit, because I got in here,” said Bramanti of
South Chicago Heights, Illinois, according to the International Herald Tribune.
The 67-year-old Glenwood village administrator ordered the
casket from Panozzo Bros. Funeral Home in Chicago
Heights and Scott Sign Co. of Chicago Heights designed
it.
Just because he has already thought of his resting place
doesn’t mean he’s planning on leaving us anytime soon. In fact he threw a party
for his friends and introduced his ‘to die for’ beer can.
"Why put such a great novelty piece up on a shelf in
storage when you could use it only the way Bill Bramanti would use it?"
Bramanti's daughter, Cathy Bramanti, 42, said.
Fortunately, there are people such as Bramanti, who have the
ability to find something funny in everything, even in death.
