Yep, it's a bit macabre. But I have to keep the rings for posterity- or at least for the kids to pawn one day. So I may as well give them a fitting resting place.

And if you need a gift for the ex... something to consider. It says "thanks for the memories" with an implied middle finger.

From the site:
The Wedding Ring Coffin is made of solid wood and has a dark glossy mahogany finish. The coffin measures 6 1/4" long x 2 1/4" wide x 2 3/8" high . The interior is lined with black velvet and includes a ring insert to comfortably and securely hold your wedding ring.

Your Wedding Ring Coffin comes with an engraved brass plaque bearing a message which conveys your final thoughts about your marriage. Choose from one of our standard messages or create your own unique personal message.

Four metal handles which match the brass plaque provide the finishing touch. The split lid gives you the option for an open or closed casket.

Each coffin is tastefully packaged in a quality gift box.

Now that I've stopped laughing long enough to type I can attest to the therapeutic usefulness of having an official burial for rings that would otherwise haunt your jewelry chest. Maybe I'll bury them in the back yard and give my daughter a treasure map when she comes of age and wants to decide to keep 'em or sell 'em. A great gift for a friend ready to laugh through the pain.

When I first saw this mini casket, I couldn't stop laughing. The irreverence of the idea reminded me of someone saying "I'll come to your funeral in a red dress." Then, I realized the therapeutic value in putting something that has metaphorically died to rest. For some It may be the important first step in moving onward, for others it may be a way to shed some of the anger. Although I would much rather hear that more marriages are more successful than ever before, that not being the case we may have a new tradition in our midst . . .
