There's a Predators-themed casket with an image of Pekka Rinne in it...seriously

We've seen some strange hockey-themed items over the years, but what we're about to show you has to be one of the stranger ones we've seen.

Apparently custom caskets are a thing and there's a Predators-themed casket out there with Pekka Rinne featured on the inside of it.

Yes...this is real. A Nashville Predators casket with an image of Pekka Rinne on the inside lid. This is wrong on so many levels, the biggest one being that Rinne’s “Reebok” gear changed to “CCM” long ago. No gear nerd would want to spend eternity with an image so outdated. #GearFauxPas

We're not sure what to say about this custom casket other than Predators fans are arguably the most passionate fans in hockey, as we've seen over the past few playoff runs the team has been on.

We're looking forward to seeing that passion in the playoffs once again this season as Nashville is in second place in the Central, just one point back of Winnipeg for first place.
