EXCLUSIVE (VIDEO): COFFIN WITH BUILT-IN SPEAKERS AND SPOTIFY CONNECTION

“But you’ll be dead. Why would you buy this?” That’s the question you’ll be getting from everyone. Who cares? You’ll be dead. No more questions to answer.

This is the CataCombo system, comprised of the CataPlay, the CataTomb and the CataCoffin.
The CataPlay application connects to Spotify, letting you set up a playlist for the afterlife — a playlist you can make private or public. Again, you’ll be dead, so why not make it public so people can add tracks to it?

The CataPlay service then connects to the CataTomb headstone, which features a 4G wireless connection, 7-inch LCD screen that displays the track being played, and a computer to process everything.

The music is then piped from the CataTomb down into the CataCoffin, which sports speakers and an 8-inch subwoofer — all powered by a custom 2.1 amp. The coffin’s interior is, of course, designed for high-quality acoustics.
There’s no mention of how the system is powered (again, you’ll be dead so maybe that’s not an issue).

The company behind the CataCombo, called Pause, urges you to drop by the shop in Stockholm – I’m guessing to prove it’s not a hoax – for a demonstration. 

If you can’t make it to Stockholm either, here’s a video:
