Fantasy coffin

When I read about "fantasy coffins" in the Times this morning, I assumed they would be picked up by Boing Boing and all over the web generally by this evening. But having just finished looking through my rss feeds, I haven't seen them mentioned anywhere (including B-B). So here goes: in Accra, Ghana, you can be buried in a range of coffins of your choice, from a frilled lizard, a mobile phone, a palm nut, a shark and a running shoe.
