The beverage company Liquid Death and Spotify have collaborated to create the Eternal Playlist Urn, a unique product designed to play music for the deceased. The urn, priced at $495, features a built-in Bluetooth speaker and is rechargeable via USB-C. Only 150 units will be available for purchase.
A Morbidly Innovative Product
Liquid Death, known for its edgy marketing and darkly themed beverage flavors such as “Berry It Alive” and “Severed Lime,” developed the urn as a tongue-in-cheek response to the conventional stillness of death. The company’s statement highlights the product’s purpose: to allow the dead to listen to their favorite music for eternity.
How It Works
The urn is designed for those who prefer to keep cremated remains on display or play music during final disposition. The Bluetooth speaker embedded in the lid connects wirelessly, ensuring the deceased can enjoy an uninterrupted playlist.
Spotify’s Eternal Playlist Generator
Alongside the physical urn, Spotify offers an “Eternal Playlist Generator” within its mobile app. Users answer a series of questions about their preferred “eternal vibe” and ghostly preferences to create a customized playlist. The results are not necessarily death-themed, but rather a selection of tracks tailored to the user’s musical taste.
The Joke Behind It
The collaboration serves as a darkly humorous commentary on death and consumerism. While urns are typically associated with reverence and mourning, this product infuses them with a playful, irreverent twist. The idea of a music-playing urn is likely intended as a joke, though some may find it a fitting tribute to music-loving individuals.
The Eternal Playlist Urn is a provocative product that pushes the boundaries of post-life experiences, offering a unique way to ensure that even in death, the music never stops.
