SOUTH CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill. -- Bill Bramanti will eternally love Pabst Blue Ribbon, and he's got the custom-made beer-can casket to prove it.

The suburban Chicago man threw a party over the weekend for friends and showed off his silver coffin.

It's designed in Pabst's colors of red, white and blue and filled with ice and his favorite brew.

"Why put such a great novelty piece up on a shelf in storage when you could use it only the way Bill Bramanti would use it?" his daughter said.
