Chilling



One of the more bizarre antiquities collections from Space Farms.

Coffins fashioned with ice boxes.
It is a rather chilling sight.
Perfectly creepy.

  2. Hi Foobella, I believe these types of coffins were used temporarily, before burial took place. Before the days of (gulp) embalming.

  7. Perfectly creepy. I actually used to know someone who embalmed for a living. Guess it was a family affair. Still really creepy. Love the history behind it though. Thanks Holly for the story. I am SO ready for Halloween.
