ENIO (English New Onterment Organizzation)
Dopo aver dato vita alla EPO (Engels Product Organization) nel 1964 per la presentazione di prodotti e servizi Pieter Engles (Amsterdam 1938) "fonda" nel 1967 la ENIO (Engels New Interment Organization), che propaganda una nuova e gradevole modalità di sepoltura. Nel comunicato pubblicitario: "What's wrong with funerals - why this blackness - why this sadness - why this madness of weeping - weeping woman + serious looking men […] just listen and discover inhere our new methods of interment;a specially pleasureable way to bury you. Sunlooking funerals with the luxurious colours off sweet heavens […] Have this golden opportunity and you can look forward with the big smile to have another great day in tour lifetime[…]. Some of our possibilities: Transparent luxurious coffins in our new interment-colours and perfumed all-over. You'll be vacuum-packed (why? when science are developped - people can make you live again - anyway - it's still a possibility) - all our coffins are good measured, so that you have the gorgeous idea you can move and roll over and eat of the enormous supplies of exclusive spices and drinks of your favourite liquors - radio- and TV-sets goes steady on in the big room of your coffin - so if you awake… But why always lying? We can deliver you sitting, standing, kneeling, hanging […] Swimming coffin - Tyical masculine - Typical female coffin […] We will bury you in your most loved rooom - in your car - on your bike - with your dearest dog… we will bury you + your house entirely. But why always bury you? We can deliver you all kind of transparent coffins to place them in the house of your dearest people - in your most loved outfit - your coffin illuminated and decorated and (of course) a curtain around - to shut - when your family, your friend(s) cannot stand you shining happy smiling face anylonger.[…] Have a good close of you lifetime. […] Our funerals are gorgeous and luxurious - so are our prices." La ENIO oltre alle operazioni di sepoltura si occupa anche, per così dire, di servizi di supporto; come ad esempio delle vere proprie "macchine per suicidarsi": sono gli Electric suicide pieces che figurano nel catalogo dei suoi prodotti.

Negli anni successivi al 1969 Engels darà vita ad altri due soggetti: l’Engels' Third Institute for Reasearch in Subcultural Brainbuiding e la Engels Genesis Foundation - Resurrection of Art (vedere scheda sulla EPO).
