Former funeral home employee checking in: baby caskets kind of just look like that. They aren't styrofoam; they're high-impact plastic with a seal in the lid so they don't need a separate concrete grave liner/vault. Even the larger ones (toddler sized, give or take) that come in doeskin/fabric covered or metal are white or at least pale pink or blue because dark colors just aren't good for babies. We had a white metal one with gold trim sitting around.

canyoneer posted:Mormon folks don't have the tradition of wearing black to a funeral. That's not really that weird either, I mean yes Mormon funerals have the sadness and crying bits but they really, totally believe that they're all going to be together and happy in heaven. It's not "goodbye" so much as "see you later!" It's like your baby is being babysat by Jesus until you join back up.

Man, why we gotta spend all this money on poo poo that preserves the rotting corpse for so long instead of just the cheapest wooden poo poo that will rot out in a week so the body will disintegrate and be pulled back into the ground. Waste of money, if you ask me. Just chuck my body off an overpass when I croak

My dad doesn't want a funeral. He wants us to have a big rear end bonfire and throw him in while we drink copiously.

He said instead of spending money on coffin, spend it on a big rear end party and just chuck his rear end into a dumpster behind some department store.

My mom has specific instructions for my death. I'm to be cremated. A few months later, she will open the list of my enemies. Knock knock, "hello my name is [my mom], Toriori wanted you to have this" and that's when she is to blow a handful of my ashes into their face.

That's what my dad wanted but it turns out you can't burn bodies on your own property in America for some reason  so we had him cremated before hand and threw the ashes in the fire. Hope that was okay old man.

Yeah, that stuff would melt and get all form-fitting and it would end up looking like a mini-Han Solo in white carbonite.

I read the sign, Ray. I've decided I want to be buried on the beach at midnight, lit only by car headlights. Everyone shows up in suits and the eulogy consists of repeatedly saying "eyyyy" and "fuggedaboudit."
