Level Up Your Afterlife with These Mario-Inspired Coffins!

Have you ever pondered how, unlike Mario, we humans only get one shot at life before we return to the earth, never to jump, run, or power-up again?

Well, I have too! And here’s the exciting part—when our time comes to take that ultimate plunge into the unknown, we can do it with flair. Mario flair, to be exact. Check this out:

This gem comes from Bignotto, a Brazilian company that specializes in urns and coffins, and they’ve got a lively social media presence promoting Mario-themed coffins. These designs are straightforward: available in red, green, or pink, with interchangeable emblems that can showcase characters like Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, and… Toad, for some reason. Because when I think of saying goodbye, Toad definitely comes to mind.

The vibe from a company focused on death is quite striking, especially in this video featuring the coffins set to the iconic World 1-2 music, complete with “GAME OVER” flashing across the screen:

I’m also enjoying browsing through their social media, where the Mario coffins are just the latest in a series of creative pop culture-themed options. That bright pink coffin? It’s previously been used for Barbie, Hello Kitty, and even a pair of Fairly OddParents boxes alongside the green one.

If you’ve ever had to make arrangements for a loved one, you know there’s a bizarre variety of themed burial options out there, from urns shaped like sports teams to animal designs, or even boxes that look like a baguette. While it may seem silly, there’s something uplifting about a perspective on death that celebrates what brought joy in life, paired with a good dose of humor. Just make sure Nintendo’s legal team doesn’t find out where the bodies are buried.
