Despite the humour, the clip does demonstrate the importance of funeral services.


AC comfort for the soul


The glass coffin shown in the clip is temperature controlled. As a result, this means that the body is preserved in pristine condition. So when combined with the glass casing, this allows both the deceased and his or her relatives to make peace with the passing.

With how busy the world has gotten, it is more important than ever to make time to properly grieve our losses. Not just for attaining the peace of what may lay beyond, but also for the ones still here.
