Rest in grease...company sells $3000 "bacon-themed" coffin

Bacon Coffin Creators Insist It's Not A Hoax, Despite Skeptics (VIDEO)

A bacon-themed coffin sounds like a killer gift for some fat-loving foodies, but it smells like a hoax to at least one professional prankster.

J&D Foods, a Seattle-based company that specializes in various bacon-themed products, such as bacon mayonnaise, bacon soda and even bacon lubricant has just added a bacon coffin to its list of products.

The allegedly genuine bacon casket sells for $2,999.99 and is supposedly made of 18-gauge gasketed steel with "a premium Bacon Exterior/Interior, and includes a Memorial and Record Tube, Adjustable Bed and Mattress and Stationary and Swingbar handles."

The company also claims the pork-themed casket includes a bacon air freshener "for when you get that buried-underground, not-so-fresh feeling."
