It almost looks like an over-the-top prank by the Onion, but
this $30,700 coffin—equipped with speakers and a wireless
streaming sound system—is apparently real. Even its name, the
CataCombo Sound System, seems like something made up for an SNL
commercial parody. But if you can't bear the idea of spending
the afterlife without your favorite playlist, this is the coffin
for you.  The system comprises three separate components:
CataPlay, a custom application that lets you, or your loved
ones, build and manage a playlist. CataTomb, an upgradeable
server (after all, innovation doesn't stop when your body does)
with a 4G connection that streams tunes from Spotify and
displays track data on a 7-inch display.  And then there's the
CataCoffin itself, your typical wooden burial box but
accentuated with a pair of 2-way speakers and an 8-inch
subwoofer that have been fine tuned for each coffin's interior.
It seems like a lot of money and hassle for someone that's going
to be a pile of dust in a few months, but at least
