SOUTH CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill. (May 5) - Bill Bramanti will love Pabst Blue Ribbon eternally, and he's got the custom-made beer-can casket to prove it. "I actually fit, because I got in here," said Bramanti of South Chicago Heights. The 67-year-old Glenwood village administrator doesn't plan on needing it anytime soon, though. He threw a party Saturday for friends and filled his silver coffin - designed in Pabst's colors of red, white and blue - with ice and his favorite brew. "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?" said Bramanti's daughter, Cathy Bramanti, 42. Bramanti ordered the casket from Panozzo Bros. Funeral Home in Chicago Heights, and Scott Sign Co. of Chicago Heights designed the beer can. Bill Bramanti, right, offers friend Joe Faso a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer from a coffin Bramanti had specially made to look like -- you guessed it -- a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, in Chicago Heights, Ill., May 3. Bramanti, 67, plans to be buried in the coffin when the time comes. damn man loves his beer haha....I dedicate this song to him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKUbnQFgvRc
then his casket would be that coffin.....>___< lol but wow must love that beer a lot.... coffin's are expensive, and a custom made one too?! wowzers
To me it feels tooo weird to have a coffin with me let alone use it to store drinks, not sure if i cn drink it, its just feels so wrong, but then again wateva tickles his fancy
ye i know exactly what u mean, it will just feel weird and so wrong. i wouldn't want a coffin in my home, then again his one is custom made and doesn't rele look like a coffin with its design.
