Weird Of The Week: This is part of a series of articles that looks at some of the most bizarre and niche business ideas we see here at Springwise.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Music lovers are fanatic enough that they would probably take their favorite albums to the grave with them. Taking this idea literally, Sweden\u2019s\u00a0Catacombo Sound System<\/a>is a funeral casket that eternally plays the deceased\u2019s choice of tracks while they\u2019re six feet under.<\/p>\n

Created by\u00a0Pause Ljud & Bild<\/a>, the system consists of three different parts. Firstly, users create an account through the online CataPlay platform, which connects to Spotify and enables customers to curate a playlist for their own coffin or get friends and family to choose the tracks when they\u2019re gone. The CataTomb is a 4G-enabled gravestone that receives the music from CataPlay and display the current track \u2014 along with details and tributes to the deceased \u2014 through a 7-inch LCD Display. Finally, the CataCoffin is where the parted will themselves enjoy two-way front speakers, 4-inch midbass drivers and an 8-inch sub-bass element that deliver dimensional high-fidelity audio tailored to the acoustics of the casket. The video below explains more about the concept:<\/p>\n

Much like\u00a0And Vinyly<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 the service that presses loved ones\u2019 ashes into vinyl records \u2014 Catacomb Soundsystem caters for the fanatical nature of the audiophile who requires perfect sound even if they can\u2019t hear it. Although priced at EUR 23,500, there\u2019s certain to be an audience of music geeks that would willingly part with the cash.<\/p>\n
