Forever blitzed: Illinois man orders custom beer-can coffin

blue coffin pabst ribbon

SOUTH CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Illinois: Bill Bramanti will love Pabst Blue Ribbon beer eternally, and he's got the custom-made beer-can casket to prove it.
“I actually fit, because I got in here,” said Bramanti of South Chicago Heights, Illinois.
Bramanti ordered the casket from Panozzo Bros. Funeral Home in Chicago Heights, and Scott Sign Co. of Chicago Heights designed the outside to look like a Pabst Blue Ribbon beer label in the company's signature colors of red, white and blue.
The 67-year-old doesn't plan on needing the coffin anytime soon, though.
So on Saturday he threw a party for friends and filled his coffin with ice and his favorite brew.
