A new patent, however, does want to screw people, literally. The inventor has designed a new coffin that screws directly into the ground, saving space and effort. The plastic coffin seems to be especially designed to be low cost; which would be ideal for disaster situations.

An easy to install burial container which takes up far less land area and greatly reduces installation labor over current burial practice by being installed at an angle rather than parallel to the surface of earth or other receiving material with the burial container mainly comprising a hull into which is placed a body or material to be buried and a means by which to provide closure for the said hull.

I would love to be buried in one of these cool things, I bet it would be much easier to rise from the dead when I become a zombie.
