Many funeral home workers opt for cremation rather than “properly buried”. Even bodies in hermetically sealed coffins turn to goo.

I’ve told this story before. When my father in law died, he had pre-arranged everything. Including his casket. Made things easy for us.
But the funeral home director wanted to upsell. No problem. That’s what they should do. Try and sell a more expensive casket. We just said “No thanks.” But he went on...
“You should really consider this better casket. It has a Lifetime Guarantee!”
I just smiled and said; “WHOSE LIFETIME?? As you see here, Mr. (Redacted) is dead. He HAS no lifetime. Do you mean MY lifetime? Do you think I’m ever gonna wanna find out in say 10-20 years if the casket is still in one piece? That I’m gonna dig him up and check on things?”
My wife was glaring at me at this point. I got in another dig and dropped it.
I believe in putting the fun in funerals.
“I believe in putting the fun in funerals.”
Loved that Night Court episode.
May I recommend a viewing of The Loved One?
