Russian Start-Up Stages Fake Funerals For ‘Stress Therapy
There are two packages for getting to attend your own final good-bye: the “online funeral,” which goes for about $15,000 and is billed as “stress therapy for fears and anxieties;” and the “full immersion” funeral, which buries customers for up to an hour.
A Russian company is offering customers the chance to participate in their own funeral and experience being buried alive for 3.5 million rubles, about the equivalent of $57,000.
The “full immersion” package includes a full religious ceremony and a “mandatory revival with an all-around revived awareness of their mission” which is supposed to renew a person’s “desire to live.”
The first package, which costs 600,000 rubles ($15,635), is advertised as “stress therapy for fears and anxieties” and promises to allow the client to “close chapters” in their lives and undergo “divine healing” and “rise from the ashes.”
Those who opt for the “full immersion” package will be able to go through a full funeral carried out according to their religious preferences.
The client will be placed in a coffin and buried for up to 60 minutes, followed by a “mandatory revival with an all-around revived awareness of their mission.”
Clients are expected to emerge from the coffin with a renewed “desire to live” and will also be able to keep their coffin as a souvenir.
“This procedure will allow you to evaluate your life and love it, understand your mission and unlock your potential,” Preobrazhenskaya told Govorit Moskva.
