See-gadgets It is often said that music can be good for your soul.

Now one inventor has used that philosophy to create his very own coffin, complete with a built-in stereo.

The CataCombo Sound System, which costs around £18,500, is aimed at music-lovers who don't want to rest in peace.

Customers can compile their own personal playlists before they die and the music will be streamed into their coffin.

And even when they have gone relatives can update the songs for their dearly departed via Spotify and a 'Catatomb app' using a touch screen built into the gravestone.

The music is piped into the casket via two-way front speakers, 4in mid-bass drivers, 'divine' tweeters and 'a hell-of-an-8-inch subwoofer.'

They are all powered by a custom 2.1 amp and fine-tuned to the coffin's unique interior acoustic space which is fitted with an external cooling system so they don't overheat.

And the beat goes on: Relatives can even update the songs for their loved ones via Spotify and a 'Catatomb app'

The whole system is also completely soundproofed so it doesn't wake the dead lying nearby.

Inventor Fredrik Hjelmquist of Stockholm, Sweden, said: 'Just because you are dead, you should not be deprived of the life-enhancing power of music.

'Some people believe that a beautiful melody can reach beyond our senses. Now you can expect nothing less than godlike comfort and heavenly sound from the catacoffin.

'This is designed to allow customers to embrace their passion for music, in this life and the next. Hi-fi is my biggest passion in life, and I will take it to the grave.
