We've long argued that if we were the ad exec running the Judaism account, our big selling point would be death. In the ground as quickly as possible, no open caskets, seven required days of having friends over for jokes and smoked fish — it's death done right. In that vein, then, at this time of frequent magland deaths, we must call attention to a recently deceased pub that has also done death right: Budget Living. Reports one vet, who sent along the above photo:

All of us former editors of Budget Living went to our former editor in chief Sarah Gray Miller's house in Harlem to celebrate our baby passing on to the next world. We all dressed in funeral attire and had a child coffin full o' beer.

The coffin of beer is indeed nice, but we confess we're even more attracted to the delectable-seeming baked goods that surround it. The RIP cupcakes at lower right are a nice touch. Now where's the lox?
