The Week contest: Grave service
![A coffin.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/huRQfjTfn8sQvh83BZCFcH-415-80.jpg)
This week's question: A South Korean mortuary is offering people the chance to experience their own "living funeral" by lying in a closed coffin for 10 minutes, to help them appreciate the here and now. In seven words or fewer, please come up with a lively advertising slogan that a U.S. mortuary could use if it were to start offering this grave service.
