"  A British woman who had a reputation as a fierce coffee lover was buried in a coffee-themed coffin after her battle with breast cancer ended her life. According to the Daily Mail, Karen Lloyd&amp;#039;s family commissioned the casket to resemble her favorite coffee chain, Costa (the UK equivalent of Starbucks), to pay tribute to all the things she loved \u2014 coffee, shopping, sleeping\u2026and more coffee. The chain&amp;#039;s logo and &amp;quot;one shot, extra hot skinny latte,&amp;quot; Lloyd&amp;#039;s usual order, were emblazoned on the burgundy-colored coffin. The coffin was designed by Oxford, England&amp;#039;s Colourful Coffins, and was surely one of a kind. When Lloyd&amp;#039;s husband Alan made the request, he told the Daily Mail, the funeral director told him they had never done a coffin like that before. But an hour later Mark Hillier of Funeral Service called Lloyd back to say they would fulfill his request.
