Listen. Fandom touches our lives deeply. That’s just a fact. For some of us, our love of nerd culture touches us from the moment we take our first breaths… and it turns out it could follow us into the afterlife. Titan Caskets, a purveyor of “high-quality caskets,” is getting into the fandom business… Or at least, is using fandom to allow you to dream about a coffin inspired by your favorites. Titan Casket doesn’t exactly have a line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom coffins, but it wants you to consider how its coffins can send you sailing into the great beyond in full Cowabunga form. They share that they have “colors for every character” and reveal how you might style their various coffins to achieve the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles casket of your dreams.
And listen, we’re never here to yuck anyone’s yum. If folks feel a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coffin is the way to go for themselves or their loved ones, we bless it. Although we might opine you’d be better off spending that money on something in the here and now. Recently, Titan Caskets collaborated with the streetwear brand Supreme on a $3,798 “Supreme” coffin. And now, it looks like they’re angling for even more fandom collabs for their coffins. For now, you can’t buy a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coffin off the shelf, but you never know what tomorrow will bring in the world of fandom merchandise.
We’ve seen fandom collaborations of every kind in recent times. And fandom is a great way to get people to spend a lot of money on something they might not ordinarily have purchased. We guess we should have seen fandom coffins coming. We guess we’ll have to wait and see which IP will be the first to get into this lucrative (?) business. Maybe it will be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coffins to start, or maybe something more like The Walking Dead would make more sense.
