[WARNING: This list contains images and concepts that will offend] We are currently in the season of Lent which is traditionally a time of penitence and contemplation of the end of life. This season of 40 days is marked by many death related festivals around the world. It seemed fitting that we should get in to the spirit of things (so to speak) and do a death related list. Some of the images in this list may offend readers.

1. Autopsy Babies $200+
These are rather gruesome baby dolls for the morbid child in your life. They are all hand made and can only be bought by auction, so be sure to get in quick with your bid!
oooooh! I’d totally snag the hearse!
My breakfast is rising…oh god
…the autopsy babies aren’t REAL babies are they??? Damn I hope not.
I really really really want to live in the US now, I am so going to have that Hearse for cruising LA.
satori: heh no – they are not real babies
I WLDZ LIK DESE PLZ
These remind me of the excellent film “Harold and Maude”. The boy is fascinated with death, re-enacting suicides almost daily to frighten his mother, and naturally he drives a hearse.
I already own a skull.. my own. ahah-hah.. *ahem*
HAROLD AND MAUDE IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER!!! Love that you mentioned it JJ!
At #10 its supposed to be a “body bag” not “body bog”!
How come skulls are so expensive?!!?
Just what I needed to see right after breakfast.
Thanks Jamie
stevenh: there is a warning there you know
I know how I can get a free skull.
…..
Autopsy vids u can watch for free if u watch the autopsy series tht was shown on chanel 4 i think ive mentionedit once before but its a great series it was done by Gunter Von Hagens (think tht is the correct spelling)
That was twisted in a cool way. Well done
Interesting what people will pay for. (I actually wouldn’t mind a body bag or 2, can you imagine baggage handlers at the airport?) I feel badly for the families of the Tate Murder Victims; kind of crappy that their deaths make money for someone.
Grand choice for a sunday morning!
Brilliant!HAhahahahaha!!!Funny out!
very well done, jfrater.
only one question: Do you think the people whos corpes you can buy actually said “When I die, I would like my body to be sold for entertainment, and propped up in funny poses!”?
bass, they’re not real corpses. read the description
I am soo buying a body bag!
I didn’t check the prices, but I am sure all of this is expensive. Although $9800 for a hearse with a bed and ipod compatability isn’t too bad of a price.
JwJwBean: skulls are always around that price – I have been watching them for a few years because I want one. And the corpses and dolls are handmade – hence the high price
can you imagine buying one of the corpses and having it join in at Easter dinner?
Okay duh. Now I see the prices are right next to each title. I really am half awake.
JwJw-if i had 10k id be all over that hearse!
great list, random but interesting. I just bought a body bag.
My friend already owns a hearse…really fits his personality.
There was a guy in my high school had a ’73 Cadillac Hearse that looked exactly like the one in the picture. Since those things came standard with a V8, you could hear him coming from miles off, so it was always a head turner. He also had a couch in the back which made for an excellent party car.
some of the things that people will buy/sell just amazes me.
Very morbid list JF. Way to get in the spirit. I want the autopsy video. I’ve always kinda been interested in autopsies. Now I just wonder if I could handle watching something like that.
toolnut; they had a special on either A&E or The Learning Channel that had exactly that. I couldn’t watch it, and I’m not in the least bit squeamish. I have four sons, blood and guts comes with the territory. Intellectually I know it didn’t matter to the dead guy, but I couldn’t deal.
toolnut: if your really interested there are plenty of places online where you can watch autopsies
Wow, Jamie, do you think Cafepress has body bags that you can get Listverse.com printed on? That would be awesome, haha! Interesting list…especially the DIY embalming kit.
I love this list. I might have to get my mother a body bag for her birthday. I get her gag gifts a lot. She is a registered nurse and has a, hhhhhmmmmm I don’t want to say knack but I guess that will do, knack for knowing when a patient in the hospital is going to die.
Luckily it doesn’t happen very often. LOL
So how funny would it be if I left the embalming kit protruding right under the bed in the guest bedroom?
Im so getting a hearse and puttin hydrolics on it! but its gonna max out my card, Damn!
daniel: if i were ur guest, id be scared *****less!
im getting the body bags and self embalming kit for my brother for his birthday with a card that says “get well soon!”
Just to be a stickler, shouldn’t #2 read “be sure to check out your country’s import laws”? Sry, it’s a pet peeve of mine.
Cool list. When I was a teenager I dreamt of buying a hearse. I ended up getting a Toyota. I really gave up on being an eccentric way too easily. Regrets…
Morbidly awesome list!! I love it! DIY embalming kit for the Funeral Director in all of us. . . Classic.
Wow, CREEPY!
I forgot to put that I really like this list. I wish I had enough money to buy a corpse. I love decorating for Halloween. It would go wonderfully. Especially since Halloween is on a Friday this year and I am thinking PARTY!
Gruesome (but interesting) list! I wonder if I can scare the pants off my brother if I put the corpses, the skulls, and the autopsy babies in his closet and on his bed? (with matching red food coloring for a very bloody effect)
a guy that lived down the hall from me in the dorm in college was way into this stuff before “goth” was a subculture. back then he was just creepy.
he had the hearse, with a skull for a hood ornament. always wore a black trench coat. had his canine teeth medically sharpened and he slept in a coffin in his room.
in retrospect, seems that the hearse was just a good fit. don’t think he would have looked right in a honda civic.
love this list!!
i thought all those were interesting until i saw the baby doll, omg, wtf?? And yeah, sad that death certificates are being sold. thats just wrong.
I always wanted a skull for an ashtray. Finally my dream will come true!!
4: Wow, really? I mean… And you even posted a picture from it? Wow…
2: I thought that was illegal. Well, should be I guess.
Good list though!
There are clubs for people who are hearse owners. I visited the website of one. I forget its name, it was a few years ago.
I heard that the reason for the LA body Bags was because LA County meant to order 200 body bags from their supplier, but accidentally ordered 200 cases of bags. They couldn’t return them so they decided to sell them.
My father owns a Hearse. We would use it to go everywhere and funny looks would follow. When he moved to Mormon country he got a warmer reception than expected!
The mormons have no problem with the dead. They babtise them.
#1 is gross gross gross.
I love the hearse, too!! Especially the foldout bed … that is AWESOME!
You really have to wonder about who buys some of those items.
#9 – pretty tasteless.
For a second I thought the ad for Navy chaplin was part of this list!
My uncle is a mortician. Nothing like taking a few hits of weed in my younger days while in a funeral home.
Hahaha I’d LOVE to get one of them corpses, I’d keep the curtains open, put the body in a chair in front of the window and plant a knife on his heart, just to tick people off
This list is gross, the bodies, the babies and hearse!!!! Not as funny as the Amazon list.
Skulls for sale on ebay, too. Or skulls.unlimited.com. Or http://www.anthropolos.com.
Wow!!! #1 scared the crap out of me.
Lmao.
I want Dracula’s coffin.
[:
Psh, who needs to buy a skull? I can get one for free…problem is that once I get it I won’t be alive anymore…
The stuff of this blog is amazing and outstanding,i really liked it.
