The guys at J&D’s Foods — the makers of bacon salt, baconnaise and bacon Kevin Bacon — just introduced the ultimate bacon must-have.

A bacon coffin.

Early April Fool’s joke? Perhaps. But the last time J&D’s joked about making a weird bacon product they ended up having to manufacturer it for distribution due to high demand.

The coffin costs $3,000 according to the seller’s website and is described as follows:

This genuine bacon casket is made of 18 Gauge Gasketed Steel with Premium Bacon Exterior/Interior, and includes a Memorial and Record Tube, Adjustable Bed and Mattress and Stationary and Swingbar handles. It also includes a bacon air freshener for when you get that buried-underground, not-so-fresh feeling.

“Yes, this is really real,” the company’s founders wrote in a statement.
