Tardis Coffin

This is old news from 2009 but I stumbled across it while looking for photos of the TARDIS for the China article. A Doctor Who fan who died in an accident had a Doctor Who style funeral complete with the Doctor Who theme music and a TARDIS coffin. Readings were quotes from the series.

It is a sad story of course but what an original and cool way to be sent off!!
