A tea lover from the United Kingdom arranged for her final resting place to be a coffin designed as a box of her favorite brand, according to a report. Tina Watson, 73, had her unusual last request fulfilled at her funeral when she was buried in a red Typhoo tea coffin. Watsonยs daughter said she gave specific instructions before her death, objecting to a typical wooden coffin.
ยI want to be buried in a coffin that looks like a giant box of tea bags,ย the mom reportedly said. The request was fitting for the tea enthusiast, who guzzled as many as 40 cups of tea a day, the outlet reported. ยItยs typical of mom,ย her daughter Debs Donovan said. ยShe had a wicked sense of humor and drank about 30 or 40 cups of tea a day, every day.ย Guests watched as the custom coffin, which read ยTyphoo: Great British Tea since 1903,ย arrived in a hearse at the Gilroes Crematorium.
