Truth In Advertising
The comfort of the coffin
is not for us
It is a replacement host
for those we have carried in life
The silk pillow
becomes bed for Demodex
satin linings
become blankets for the family
E. faecalis
B. bifidum
E. coli
So how about a little honesty
Caskets -
expensive retirement homes
for mites and bacteria
protection from the elements included
you provide the perishable
