He hasn't just created cream filled donut coffins, his other designs include sailboats, chocolate bars, Lego blocks, and firetrucks. Hall has also built coffins glistening with fake jewels and glitter, a casket with a Matrix movie theme, and beach themed coffins as well.

“There are people who are happy with a brown mahogany box and that’s great, but if they want to shout it out, I’m here to do it for them,” Hall said.

Hall actually started the fun idea when he was thinking about his own death. “How do I want to go out? So I put in my will that I want a red box with flames on it,” he thought.

Local funeral directors were both interested and skeptical about the idea, but they started to really like it when time went by.

If you're interested, a custom fun coffin will cost you somewhere between $2,100 and $5,400. Don't forget, the business is in New Zealand, so you will also have to add shipping and handling. For more on this story click HERE.
