瑞典人發明音樂棺材 親友通過網絡控制樂曲瑞典一名音像店主別出心裁地設計出一種音樂棺材，棺材內置音樂播放器，播放曲目可由死者親朋好友通過網絡進行控制。
弗雷德里克稱，音樂棺材的設計靈感來自對死后生活質量的思考。他認為這種別出心裁的發明也能在一定程度上緩解死者親朋好友的悲痛感。弗雷德里克表示，自己死后就要躺在這樣的棺材里，生前選好幾曲自己最愛聽的歌劇伴自己長眠。據稱，這款音樂棺材售價高達19.9萬瑞典克朗(約合人民幣19.1萬元)，已有來自美國、加拿大以及中國臺灣的客戶提出咨詢。(記者：趙一然)
A Swedish man has designed a coffin with built-in speakers linked to a music playlist that can be updated by the living。
Music and video equipment store owner Fredrik Hjelmquist said his hi-fi coffin would entertain the dead and provide solace for grieving friends and relatives by making it possible for them to alter the deceased's playlist online。
"We don't know, right? But then people believe in different ways in different parts of the world," Hjelmquist told Reuters television when he was asked whether a belief in life after death was what would lead someone to buy his coffin。
"In Sweden perhaps we don't believe in it, but in many parts of the world people believe in a different way," he said。
He planned to be buried in such a coffin, he added, and would choose opera for his long sleep. He has not sold any of his coffins, but there have been many enquiries, he added。
The price tag is a hefty 199,000 Swedish crowns ($30,700)。
"We've had an unbelievable amount of inquiries, not so much in Sweden, but many from the United States and Canada, " he said。
"Ozzy Osbourne should buy one I think or Keith Richards. Somebody ought to do it because this is really rock n' roll I think...but at the same time beautiful," he said。
