Welcome To Coffin University-Today we are NOT going to teach you about  the sale of Batesville, York, or Aurora Caskets. Instead we are here to help you experience your own death, what it is like to be in your Casket and be at your own funeral. This is not from the twilight zone or the future. It is happening now right here on Planet Earth.

Do you remember the MOVIE-What about Bob-death therapy.

It is going on in Korea according to the Los Angeles Times. Snippet:

“Jung, a slight 39-year-old with an undertaker’s blue suit and a preacher’s demeanor, is a resolute counselor on the ever-after who welcomes clients with the invitation, “OK, today let’s get close to death.”

Jung runs a seminar called the Coffin Academy, where, for $25 each, South Koreans can get a glimpse into the abyss. Over four hours, groups of a dozen or more tearfully write their letters of goodbye and tombstone epitaphs. Finally, they attend their own funerals and try the coffin on for size.

In a candle-lighted chapel, each climbs into one of the austere wooden caskets laid side by side on the floor. Lying face up, their arms crossed over their chests, they close their eyes. And there they rest, for 10 excruciating minutes.

“It’s a way to let go of certain things,” says Jung, a former insurance company lecturer. “Afterward, you feel refreshed. You’re ready to start your life all over again, this time with a clean slate.”

Across South Korea, a few entrepreneurs are conducting controversial forums designed to teach clients how to better appreciate life by simulating death. Equal parts Vincent Price and Dale Carnegie, they use mortality as a personal motivator for a variety of behaviors, from a healthier attitude toward work to getting along with family members.via www.latimes.com

This is called a faux funeral a descendant of the mock funeral.
