A new study has found that more than one in five Brits would be like to be buried with their mobile phones.
ESATO NEWS
The reason? So they can still receive texts from friends and loved ones. Brits are following traditional Egyptian rituals and enclosing 21st century treasures, including mobile phones, jewelry and photos in the coffin when a loved one passes away.
Online mobile phone retailer Dial-a-Phone questioned customers aged between 18 and 30 to discover what they would take if they could have only one item with them in their casket.17% said that their mobile phone was their top choice, coming third only to wedding rings and other sentimental jewelry items like lockets and bracelets.
When questioned further, the majority of those who opted for their mobiles as a coffin accessory said it was so that they could still receive messages from loved ones via text message. Other rationale included fear of being buried alive and not wanting others to see personal messages and pictures stored on their phones.

Rather touching, although I would have thought it would be a bit hard to make/recieve calls, texts or browse Esato whilst being dead!

Would the battery on the phone be DEAD after being inside the coffin with you for so long. Some people are so stupid honestly recieving texts when your dead. Oh dear. Mind you i am such a tech head and change my phone so often my family will probably throw my phone in with me instead of a flower. When i keep changing my phone my family keep moaning. I would only have my phone in my coffin if it was a good one at the time.
