In 1995 a $5,000 Italian casket equipped with call-for-help ability and survival kit went on sale. This casket is equipped with a beeper which will sound an emergency signal in the event of a premature burial. The coffins are also fitted with a two-way microphone/speaker to enable communication between the occupant and someone outside, and a kit which includes a torch, a small oxygen tank, a sensor to detect a person’s heartbeat, and even a heart stimulator.
