Would you like to taste your own death? going to your own funeral?

Here is a business idea that has been established in Korea, published in AsiaOne News:

After solemnly reading their wills, seven perfectly healthy university students climb into caskets in a dimly lit hall….

Workers nail the coffins shut, then sprinkle dirt on top as the lights are switched off and a dirge is played. Muffled sobs can be heard from some of the coffins. About 15 minutes later, they are opened and the five men and two women are ‘reborn’.

The mock funeral, which aims to get participants to map out a better future by reflecting on their past, is part of a new trend in South Korea called ‘well-dying’.

Dying to Live Better @ AsiaOne News

People are willing to pay for the whole experience, about 300 USD (460 SGD), quite an expensive price for my opinion. They are paying for the taste of being ‘re-born’. Some are saying reminded of their parents’ love, some are saying to live their life fully, to leave no regrets.

A creative idea, I guess they’re inspired by the following quote:

Learn how to die and you learn how to live.

Will you need the same experience to live better? tasting coffin and death to live better? What will you do today to die without regret?

Live your life as if tomorrow is your last day on earth, and you will live fully this day!
