TrendHunt: Coffin Restaurants!

I have a thing for trends and I love bizarre stuff. A few days ago I’ve posted about Toilet Dining which is now a trend in Taiwan and China. Another blogger, Eunice, left me a comment and mentioned concept restaurant in Singapore featuring wheelchairs. So I wasn’t really surprised when I came across another concept restaurant, this time in Ukraine, featuring coffins!

Coffins for me are a bit creepy but still a lot of people get inspired to design by coffins. The world’s first coffin restaurant was built by undertakers and serves up morbid, death-themed dishes. The structure of the Macabre restaurant is the world’s largest coffin at 20 meters long, six meters wide, and six meters high.

The restaurant is fittingly called The Eternity ( it sounds like a memorial garden I think). The Eternity is the brainchild of a local group of undertakers from the resort town of Truskavets near the Polish border.

Morbid diners can browse the funeral paraphernalia before ordering from a menu that includes “Nine Day” and “Forty Day” salads – named after local mourning rituals – and an ominous-sounding dish called “Let’s meet in paradise”. Coffins of a normal dimension serve as tables and single candles on the tables contribute to the funereal mood.

The undertakers hope that their restaurant will be confirmed as the world’s biggest coffin, attracting tourists to a region best known for its mineral-rich bathing waters.
