Anybody want to be buried in their favorite pinball machine? Might have to fold some of you taller guys in half to fit but a pinball cabinet may just work as a good casket! Some may even be cheaper than a real casket.

Quoted from Quiddity:At least a box of ashes wouldn't take up too much room in the back of the cabinet.
I wondered what the urn was doing inside the pin I bought off craigslist 
Im thinking a hercules cabinet...then i could pack on as many extra pounds as i can and still fit...

Heavens no. That would be a waste of a perfectly good pinball machine. When you're dead, you can't play. That's not to say you shouldn't have pinball included in your death. This is America after all. If you want pinball as part of your burial, you damb sure can have that.
I have explicit instructions in my will for my services to be held at Ahlgrim's Funeral Home in Palatine IL. (just outside Chicago) Ahlgrim's has a very nicely appointed chapel that seats 250 people. Stained glass windows, redwood alter and pews, blah blah blah. Downstairs they have a sweet 9 hole mini golf course and an arcade with pins.
You guys are all invited too. Please leave your beers downstairs for the brief (5 mins tops) service. Tourney starts 10 minutes after the service ends. Sudden death elimination format. (obviously)
So, what about a custom built pinball machine casket with legs, so the poor friends
Carrying you to the grave can put it down and have a breather.
And of course with invisiglass foa an open casket, and a translite with your life summed up.
When they lift you down, they fold the back box down.
Then go play some pinball.

Right on Phishrace !
Sounds like you're putting the "fun" back in funeral...
Might as well well bury us in them....our kids and most wife's don't give a sh#t about them....pinball and retro-gaming dies with us people....do you think one of our kids will pay these crazy prices for pins and games in 30 + years....the reason we pay it is because we are trying soooo hard to relive our past and be a kid again....for our kids to be a kid again in 30 years...all they need is an ipad,iPod and a couch......$300 for a bubble bobble pcb....yaa right..........Joey

Soo sad but sooo true !
Quoted from Syco54645:The Aztec Tomb! That is a great magic trick!!!!
since i no doubt will pass on with at least 2 unfinished projects, i'll have my wife part one out and bury me in the empty cabinet... 
edit: i really wish that rotordave had come to the east coast to buy a machine from me in the hearse... it would have blown my neighbors minds...

You might rethink that part or no one will be at your service.
Thanks for the invite. Can't wait.

Last funeral I went to had the reception in a small hall with a Stern Lightning, Bally Motordome, a Multicade and about a half dozen dedicated arcade and redemption games.
