BERLIN (Reuters) – Two undertakers in the northwestern German city of Cologne are trying to tap into the gay market by selling coffins adorned with images of male nudes.

The prize piece in their display window is a coffin decorated with images of mostly naked, muscular young men in athletic poses inspired by Italian Renaissance paintings.

Shouldn't they be selling them for everyone though? Some people just love art even if they are not gay. And some women might also be interested.

Agree with you.

Plus, just because someone is gay doesn't mean they want pictures of nude men on their coffin.

If you read the article, you would see they actually will put anything. Like a grandmother can have images of her grandchildren.
