PushinDaisies (http://www.pushindaisies.com/)is an online store devoted to novelties, books, food, clothing, etc., all based on death and mortuary related issues. The store sells trinkets, t-shirts, greeting cards, jewelry, DVD's and CD's, books, music, death-themed candy; you get the idea.
One startling item is a ten ounce anatomically correct chocolate human heart for $12.95. If it's not big enough, they also sell a one pound version. Both come wrapped in clear cellophane bags with a red ribbon. Just the thing for your sweetie.
Or, if you are feeling especially romantic and have a slightly dark side, a dead rose might do the trick. You can send a single rose, a half-dozen, or a full dozen. The website also suggests that the roses might be appropriate as "over the hill" gifts or as a love gift for someone you dislike. All of them arrive in a coffin-shaped box, complete with a toe-tag gift card.
I'm not entirely sure this website is intended to be humorous. I have met people who would take it very seriously.
This preoccupation with death is alien to Christians, because "the gift of God is eterrnal life...τὸ δὲ χάρισμα τοῦ θεοῦ ζωὴ αἰώνιος ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν." Romans 6:22-23.
