See the fancy tombstone wealthy Russians are ordering
A masons is offering technology-loving wealthy Russians a gravestone carved to look like an iPhone. Some love their iPhones so much they cannot bear to be parted from them after they die. So an engraving company in Siberia is offering 'iTombstones' so people can be buried with their mobiles. They can even feature engravings of a selfie of the dearly-departed. Designer Pavel Kalyuk says his iPhone-shaped headstone memorials are latest death accessory.
"We began to make monuments just to attract attention," he said.
But after exhibiting his work at a funeral exhibition in Novosibirsk, orders came in for the bizarre gravestones. His company, called Autograph, makes the tombstones from basalt imported from Ukraine, he said.
