Zbigniew Lidner said he hopes the pictures said he hopes the pictures show that coffins can be more than sacred objects.
Some online jokers have suggested the $50 journal is a bid to drum up more customers by inducing older buyers into having heart-attacks.
It was the latest controversy sparked by the firm, which came under fire last year by the Catholic Church — which said “human death should be respected and not mixed with sex.”

The company’s owner defended the stunt as a way to show “the beauty of Polish girls and the beauty of our coffins.”
“My son had the idea of creating the company’s calendar so we could show something half-serious, colorful, beautiful; the beauty of Polish girls and the beauty of our coffins,” he declared.
“So much work goes into our coffins […]only seen for a few moments at the funeral. We wanted to show a coffin shouldn’t be a sacred object – it’s furniture, the last bed you’ll ever sleep in,” he said.

The Polish coffin company, Lindner’s, makes about 11,000 pictures each month.
“It isn’t a religious symbol. Its a product. Why are people afraid of coffins and not of business suits, cosmetics or jewelry?” he added.
All sales revenue from the calendars go to charity.
