You can grill fish, meat, chicken, and vegetables, but can your stomach handle it if your favorite food is grilled in a coffin?

You’re not hallucinating!

In Asingan, Pangasinan, instead of holding a corpse, this coffin contains charcoal and a grill.

It’s a gimmick by Jefferson, the owner of a funeral parlor.

“We only use it for ourselves when there are funerals,” said Jefferson Balangue, owner of Coffin Grill.

He had it custom-made in Pampanga for six thousand pesos back in 2019.

“The only thing I can say is that there’s nothing dirty here in my grill, and we eat it too,” he added.

It’s always a hit with the family during gatherings, and their favorite thing to grill is the Filipino favorite—porkchop and liempo.

Whatever equipment is used for cooking, it’s important to ensure that it’s clean and safe to avoid getting sick, according to the Department of Health.

“It’s very important to emphasize this repeatedly because it all goes back to preparation. We must also check the quality of what we’re buying,” said Diane Aurora Delizo, Medical Technologist III, DOH-CHD CAR.

The Coffin Grill is only used for family outings or celebrations.

Whatever the occasion, it’s important to take care and watch what you eat, or else the ending might be in a coffin.
