There's paperback coffin stores in south africa. They're quite cheap, like 20 bucks or so, if my memory don't fails me.

My brother got a coffin at Halloween time last year, which is coming up.. for a really good price. It's super heavy and an actual coffin, he bought it from one of those Halloween outlet shops that was using it for a display prop. You may be able to find one too, keep an eye out.

if you are handy with tools, or know someone who is..try building your own.. my roomie built me mine out of wood, and we got the plans off the internet. It took us 2 days on and off to finish it, and I took another day to stain it, but it came out really good. It was perfect for a Halloween party we had here. If you want more info let me know...

were did you get the plans from im quite handy with power tools and i got my own little shop in my garage

[CeruleanFire]

ok, heres the one we did http://www.ourhaunt.com/ look for the toe-pincher coffin. we had to stray from the plans a bit, so it could actually fit someone inside, as its a bit too shallow, but it came out wonderfully. there are some others out there too, I will see if I can find the links..

[CeruleanFire]

here is one other, but it seems more difficult.. http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Nebula/6037/coffin.htm

If You are going to use it as a bed, and maybe as a coffin later, then I would suggest that you order a KISS coffin. Yes, KISS officially makes Coffins. Btw, They even had demos of how the KISS Cofins are so effective that they work as storage bins, refrigerators, coolers, and much, much, more!

[KilLAtomiK]

im using it as a cooler for parties and stuff

[CeruleanFire]

try making a smaller version, or one of the other styles, modified to fit your needs. let us see it, when you make it

KISS coffins fit that purpose perfectly.

[CeruleanFire]

Kiss coffins at over 4000 dollars isnt exactly cheap

[keiko]

Umm actually you can usually talk to like funeral homes and stuff about teh coffins they have that ahve like damaged lining or something you can usually get them for about $100. Good lord..Amelia! help me! what''s the name of the photo studio right there next to the graveyard in LA? It's gonna drive me nuts! Anyhoo, the guy who runs the place hase a black one, a white one and a silver one for photo shoots picked 'em all up fer like $100 a pop. He knows where to get more, too... errrrgh! this is gonna make me crazy!

If you are goin to do that...My advice would be to build it outa what ever wood you want....Then go to an auto parts store and get some Fiberglass Resin...Maybe a gallon depending on how big it is...

Then if there is a shirt factory near where you live go there and see if you can get some Fleece scraps....

If not just go to a cosighment or dig store..Somewhere you could buy some fleece shirts cheep, or go to wal-mart and buy some...

Tear the fleece and mix the fiberglass PUT ON LATEX GLOVES Dip the fleece in the fiber glass resin and apply it to the inside,....This will make the thing water proof....Once the whole inside is covered in fiberglass fleece...Take the rest of the Fiber resin and mix it up and go over the whole inside again with a heavy coat....Do that till its pretty thick or you run out...

Then all ya gotta do is put a drain in it...I would use an Outside water faucette you could get one at a hardware store....And poof Cofin Cooler...

[-=Asmodeus=-]

If you want to do this and have some questions about fiber glass just ask me...I did a lot of fiber work on my car and Some car audio Subwoofer boxes I used to build...

[BrightStar]

Fiber Glass Itches and Stings like crazy! But it is relatively light though.

That's why the gloves dear.

Not usin fiberglass sheets....Just the resin .....You can buy them seperatly...

Thats what all the deal with the fleece was about....
You use fleece material because 1. its cheaper....2. Not itchy...3.I have gotten better results using it ove the Glass Matting...

The gloves are simply for the fact that the resin is Stickier than syrup...And once you get it on your hands its a bitch to get off...And it usually gets on anything you are wearin...

[-=Asmodeus=-]

another relitively cool use of the resin is to first make a mold of whatever you want...(I made pieces to accent car stereo installations with...)

Take your mold of whatever...Make a batch of resin ..And make it reletively HOT (Add more than the usual amount of Hardener) and pour it into your mold....Let it set over night or longer depending on how Thick the piece is...and pop it out...You can make all kinda things....I have made some pretty cool stuff this way...And the resin once it cures is some pretty tough stuff.....

Oh...When you make your mold...Cover the inside with Aluminum foil and then brandish (Rub It Smooth) with something to make it fit the form of the mold better...This will allow your Resin Form to pop out of the mold better...

[KilLAtomiK]

thanks alot asmodeus i was just goin to try and find a tank or sometrhing to fit inside the coffin but now i see fiber glass is the way to go

[Tequila Zaire]

Just go to a cememtary and dig one up...place is full of em.

to bad cadavers give me the creeps

[AEstud]

eBAY!!!!!!!!!!! It's not like they REALLY need them...right?

[CeruleanFire]

oh, but the smell of a used one....nasty. I still say make your own, mine cost about 50 $ total, even with the deviations, and the staining/finishing.

[AEstud]

All you need is Febreeze and let it air dry...it'll be smellin like country fresh flowers in....2 years, tops!

LMAO

[KilLAtomiK]

id rather make my own thanks for the links cerulean

[keiko]

Eurggggh! If you have to use a used one, rip out the lining and scour the inside with like lemon scented Lysol or somthing to kill the germs that are causing the smell and make a new lining. Not that I condone robbing the dead of their beds, or have ever tried it, but that's how I would do it, if I had to...

I'mma shut up now...

So I'm guessin the Febreeze idea was a no go....A failure to Martha Stewart, I am.

i dont think martha would use febreeze. She would probably have some crap made of flowers she hand picked near her new england cottage while siping wine.
