Experience your own funeral...

If you want to appreciate your life more and feel really “alive” consider going to Korea to have a temporarily death. Thanks to Korea Life Consulting Co., who charges up to 300,000 won ($460) per customer, you can experience your own funeral. The whole process starts by the client solemnly reading his or her will; then a man in a black suit says in a resounding voice: “I want to give you one more day to live, but it’s time to be placed into your coffin. I hope your tired flesh and body will be peacefully put to rest.” The client lay in the coffin, which is then nailed shut with dirt thrown over the top. The lights are turned off, and funeral music is played. After 15 minutes, and when many participants are just about to have a panic attack, the coffin is opened up and the person experiences a “rebirth”. Korea Life Consulting held the fake funeral at a mountain resort in Chungju, 150 kilometers south of Seoul. Participants take a class on the meaning of life, pose for portrait photos to be used at the service and write wills as if they have three days to live. CafeJournalCopyright 2010-2018.
