A funeral home has taken Barbie mania to an extreme, offering pink coffins with Barbie linings.
Pink colored coffins featuring a Barbie motif are displayed at a funeral home in Ahuachapan, El Salvador, Friday, Aug. 4, 2023. According to the funeral home manager, the idea was well received as a joyful atmosphere to the loss of a loved one. It's all designed so you can be a Barbie fan till the day you die — and even after that.
Owner Isaac Villegas said Friday he had already offered the option of pink coffins before the July premiere of the Barbie movie. But the craze that swept Latin America convinced him to decorate the cloth linings of the coffins with pictures of the doll. The coffins are also decorated with little white stars.
He said the funeral home has already launched a promotional campaign around the Barbie boxes, and has sold 10 of them. Though that doesn't mean 10 people have actually been buried in them — many people in El Salvador buy a pre-paid package for future burial.
