瑞典一位音像器材店主设计了一款带有内置扬声器的棺材，扬声器连着远程播放器，逝者的亲友可以随时在网上更新播放器中的曲目。这样不但可以帮助逝者的亲人寄托哀思，也能让逝者在地下继续享受音乐。这位设计者表示，此款棺材的售价约为3万美元，目前还没有客户购买，不够已经收到了来自美国和加拿大等国不少客户的咨询。

A Swedish man has designed a coffin with built-in speakers linked to a music playlist that can be updated by the living.

Music and video equipment store owner Fredrik Hjelmquist said his hi-fi coffin would entertain the dead and provide solace for grieving friends and relatives by making it possible for them to alter the deceased's playlist online.

"We don't know, right? But then people believe in different ways in different parts of the world," Hjelmquist told Reuters television when he was asked whether a belief in life after death was what would lead someone to buy his coffin.

"In Sweden perhaps we don't believe in it, but in many parts of the world people believe in a different way," he said.

He planned to be buried in such a coffin, he added, and would choose opera for his long sleep. He has not sold any of his coffins, but there have been many enquiries, he added.

The price tag is a hefty 199,000 Swedish crowns ($30,700).

"We've had an unbelievable amount of inquiries, not so much in Sweden, but many from the United States and Canada, " he said.

"Ozzy Osbourne should buy one I think or Keith Richards. Somebody ought to do it because this is really rock n' roll I think...but at the same time beautiful," he said.
