On the outskirts of Pahrump, Nevada, is a massive sign reading COFFINWOOD and a monstrous menagerie of custom tombstones, refurbished hearses and dangling skeletons. It’s a custom coffin factory, wedding chapel, hearse garage and pet cemetery on the doorstep of Death Valley.

If you drive by at night, flashing lights are synchronized to haunted house music that you can tune into on your car radio.

Coffinwood is the coffin-themed complex of Bryan and Dusty Schoening that includes their home, gardens, garages, workshops, chapel, pet-cemetery, church of the coffin and business “Coffin-It-Up.”

Coffinwood is the fusion of death, fun and romance.

In 1997, Bryan’s parents and dog were tragically killed by a drunk driver. Bryan was revolted by his experience with the funeral industry. In particular, the upselling of poor quality caskets to the grieving.

Years later, his daughter asked him to make a coffin for Halloween. Bryan, a trained carpenter, thought it would be simple, but found the angles and design a rewarding challenge.

Bryan decided to dedicate himself to coffin-making and doing his part to make the funeral experience easier, more affordable and more personalized for others.

Bryan is the only coffin maker in Nevada and one of only a few in the United States. The US is one of the few countries that uses caskets instead of coffins.

What’s the difference? Coffins have 6 sides, usually tapering at the ankles and shoulders so as to reflect the shape of their eternal cargo better, whereas Caskets only have 4 sides. Coffins generally have a removable lid with no hinges and caskets have a bifurcated lid on hinges.

Dusty and Bryan met in California protesting the treatment of Circus Elephants and they have been together for over 30 years. They even have a dedicated grave in their pet cemetery in remembrance of Stoney, an elephant in Las Vegas killed by mishandling.

They share a love of the macabre. Dusty has a collection of 12 Hearses that Bryan helps her refurbish. Four of the vintage hearses are currently driveable.

The couple exudes dedication and romance. There is so much devotion at Coffinwood that people began asking the couple to marry them.

After so many people requested weddings, they began the Church Of The Coffin and Bryan became an ordained minister so they could legally marry couples in their outdoor gazebo chapel shaped like, you guessed it, a coffin.

As American burial culture turns towards cremation and the living want more coffin accoutrement, Coffinwood is evolving. Bryan makes many urns and has also branched out into cabinetry, purses, ring boxes, garden boxes and luggage.

As Coffinwood seeks to enhance our relationship with death, the couple is also seeking to preserve life. Bryan speaks at the local schools about the dangers of impaired driving and the loss of his parents.

He invites the students to Coffinwood for workshops and is serious when he offers a sober, no-judgement ride home anytime.

Most Tuesdays the Church Of The Coffin holds non-denominational services and annually, they bury a themed coffin and put up a headstone to commemorate and celebrate the passing of another year.

Even if you can’t make it to Coffinwood, the recognizable hexagonal, coffin-shaped wedding gazebo and garden planters are visible from GoogleEarth and space.

Vampire's Grave in Dalby Springs

The picture in my banner is the entry to the Cedar Grove Cemetery in Dalby Springs, Texas. Inside this cemetery, past the rusted gate and vandalized tombstones, is this fenced area. It's hard to see from this picture, but at the center of this fenced circle is a stake driven into the ground. Legend has it that a vampire is buried there. The town's people set up the fence, and they drove the stake into the ground to prevent him from rising again. "I don't sit up with the dead no more, cause the dead started sittin' up too."
