A Polish coffin maker has left Catholic Church fuming after semi-naked models posing with coffins have appeared on its company’s calendar for 2013.

The church has called the coffin maker “disrespectful” because death should be treated solemnly and not sexually. But the coffin maker is not backing-down.
The coffin maker, Zbigniew Lindner has told the media that a coffin isn’t a religious symbol and nothing wrong with his marketing campaign.
“My son had the idea of creating the company’s calendar—so that we could show something half-serious, colorful, and beautiful, the beauty of Polish girls and the beauty of our coffins. We wanted show that a coffin isn’t a religious symbol. It’s a product. Why are people afraid of coffins and not of business suits, cosmetics and jewelry”, Lindner says.
He further said, the calendar is not for publicity but to make money.
But the church says “it’s inappropriate”.
