      If you use a coffin to view the remains at a funeral home, in many (if not most) states it is illegal to re-use that coffin at the funeral home for the next deceased.

      Some enterprising individuals will buy those, decontaminate them, reconfigure and reline them, then sell them as couches, chairs, etc.

      Google up "coffin couches".

        Cult of some kind, I'm guessing. Y'all live in too normal of a world.

        You ain't lived until you see a guy get coded, surrounded by five women dressed as nuns (that ain't) that we had to shush away, and after the doc calls him and everybody medical exits the room, the head "nun" jumps astraddle the guy, beating the hell out of the body and jabbering in tongues, while the other four "nuns" wail and chant around the body in some unknown language. Or jibberish.

        I thought when they requested his internal organs, it was a nice touch. We didn't give them to them. Don't know what the funeral home did...

            I kind of like the idea of being sheparded off by those guys somebody posted a few months ago, the pallbearers who danced while holding the coffin.

            Now, I wonder what music I want them to dance to . . . ?

                    Not me. I want something like 'Thriller' or "Stayin Alive' or 'Dancing Queen' or 'Jump' or 'Money for Nothing' or . . . gads, there are so many great choices.

                              There is a lot of talk about closure and finality. Personally, I have never had any trouble believing someone is dead. Seeing their makeup caked corpse never helped in any way. Quite the opposite. I'd prefer to remember them when they were vibrant and alive.

                              I also never found a spouse or family member who said the funeral reduced their grief.

                              I think there is a value in gathering to reconnect after a death, especially in the case of the death of a spouse. You have been connected to the community as a couple, and now that has changed. Renewing those connections as a single person seems valuable.

                              Myself, I'm entertaining the idea of being wrapped around a newly planted tree. I'd much rather my descendants see and visit a living, helpful, beautiful tree than some cold stone.

                                Since the decomposing body expels gasses, that might be an even worse idea than you currently think.
