People who have spent a lot on luxury throughout their life would definitely want to die in a lavish way too. Earlier, we have seen some luxurious coffins like air-conditioned coffins, MJ’s 14-karat gold plated custom casket or the Cocoon to lay to rest in style, made for uber-rich who want to make the funerals of their near and dear ones very special.
If you are amongst the one who never step out without putting on the best make-up, then here is some news for you. There is some unusual, rather a funny innovation in the name of luxury. Makeup brand Illamasqua declared new partnership with reputable family funeral directors "Leverton & Sons” to fashion looks for the afterlife.
