...you need to bring this everywhere.

Coffin of Preservation
This pine-wood coffin seems mundane, if well-made on the outside. The interior is padded with black cusions, including one for the head. Any dead creature placed within is under the effect of a gentle repose spell. Only one body may be placed in a coffin of preservation at any one time. If a second body is placed inside, it is animated as a zombie, except that instead of a slam attack, it has a bitchslap attack, and attacks the person who put it in there. This item typically sees use by the employees of necromancers who need to bring a fresh corpse to their employer, although some fatalistic adventurers bring one or more along as well. Well-off vampires or liches may also use this item to prevent their undead bodies from rotting.

Faint necromancy; CL 3; Craft Wonderous Item, gentle repose; Price 6,000 gp; Weight 50 lb.

Minor thing, but a continuous gentle repose item is 15,000 GP.

Cleric version is a 2nd level spell, and it gets the day/level discount. So you're looking at 2000*2*3/2=6000... and that still doesn't really cover it, because a command-word item of gentle repose, guidelines, would be 1800*2*3=10,800 gp, and could keep just about any number of bodies you care to have preserved kept preserved indefinately.

I'd suggest a discount for the corpse having to actually be inside the coffin for the effect to work.

Oh, right, the discount. Forgot about that.

Did those calculations because I was bored one day, and thought of a sorcerer that had a bunch of Clones in gentle repose jars.

Sounds like a Go'auld sarcophagus.

Except that the Gou'ald sarcophagus has the effects of True Ressurection on a body placed inside.

2,754,000 to be exact, since it's an epic item.

Added a bit about there only being one body inside, as well as my little joke.
