Artist Joe Scanlan created a DIY guide (subtitled “How to kill yourself anywhere in the world for under $399”) for a coffin made of the components from three pieces of IKEA furniture. The fully illustrated book retails for $27.50 shipped (some assembly required). The assembled project includes flower stands, pictured above.

You have to assemble the BOOK? I’m still trying to figure out how to make my really old books STAY together. I don’t want to think about putting one together.
