A NEW York divorcee has come up with a solution for failed marriages - a miniature coffin to lay those unwanted wedding rings to rest.
"Give a dead marriage its proper, final resting place,'' the company offering the miniature caskets says on its website.
"The Wedding Ring Coffin is the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one for bringing closure after a divorce. It's time to bury the past and move on to a new tomorrow,'' it says.

The Wedding Ring Coffin is made of solid wood and has a dark glossy mahogany finish. The coffin measures 6 1/4" long x 2 1/4" wide x 2 3/8" high . The interior is lined with black velvet and includes a ring insert to comfortably and securely hold your wedding ring.

Your Wedding Ring Coffin comes with an engraved brass plaque bearing a message which conveys your final thoughts about your marriage. Choose from one of our standard messages or create your own unique personal message.
Four metal handles which match the brass plaque provide the finishing touch. The split lid gives you the option for an open or closed casket.
Each coffin is tastefully packaged in a quality gift box.
The Wedding Ring Coffin is the perfect way to close the lid on your dead marriage. It's time to...
"Bury the past and move on to a new tomorrow."
A great idea, but I don’t think my spouse would fit in it.
LOL! Husband and I were just talking about this. Our anniversary is coming up and I was hinting around about some new “Bling-Bling.”
He wears one of my old engagement diamonds as an ear stud that I had fashioned for him. He calls it “the spoils of war.” LOL!
Anyhow, this idea is weird. It’s just jewelry. Re-fashion it into something useful! Diamonds ARE a girls best friend. And Real Estate and Cold, Hard Cash! :)
Fat chance a woman's gonna give up diamonds to be buried.
LOL! You are too clever!
(1) The engagement ring.
(2) The wedding ring.
(3) The suffering.
I would say something like this would be great for any broken up relationship too.
