Polish coffin company, Lindner, makes use of naked women to advertise their product.
The company released a calendar which features images of topless models caressing different coffins.
A spokesperson for the company, Bartek Lindner said: “Every edition is different and when we have too many women, female customers complain. But when we have too many men, male customers complain. So here we have men and women in one calendar as a compromise.”
According to the firm’s owner, Zbigniew Lindner, the peculiar calendar theme was conceived to show the beauty of Polish women.
“My son had the idea of creating the company’s calendar so that we could show something half-serious, colourful, beautiful; the beauty of Polish girls and the beauty of our coffins.”
“So much work goes into our coffins that are only seen for a few moments at the funeral. We wanted to show that a coffin shouldn’t be a sacred object – it’s furniture, it’s the last bed you’ll ever sleep in. It isn’t a religious symbol. It’s a product. Why are people afraid of coffins and not of business suits, cosmetics or jewellery?”
