Designer coffin dons a PBR look

Bill Bramanti and his PBR Coffin

I never thought I would see such devotion to Pabst Blue Ribbon. 67-year-old Bill Bramanti ordered a special coffin, one that he hopes he won’t need to bury anytime soon. His novelty coffin was ordered from “Panozzo Bros. Funeral Home in Chicago Heights, and Scott Sign Co. of Chicago Heights designed the beer can.”

Bill Bramanti threw a party on Saturday and filled his new red, white and blue PBR coffin with ice and his favorite beer.

This quote I thought was funny, and reminded me of my grandpa Joe, “”Why put such a great novelty piece up on a shelf in storage when you could use it only the way Bill Bramanti would use it?” said Bramanti’s daughter, Cathy Bramanti, 42.”
