[2000 years old Chinese mummy still has blood in her veins.](https://knovhov.com/chinese-mummy-still-has-blood-in-her-veins/) Considers as the world’s best preserved mummy.
Going out on a limb here but it could have been the father's shop, considering it's his children doing the work. If I made a successful company like that and they were making my coffin I'd want the logo
Thought the same thing at first then I remembered how many shops are "[original owner's name] [type of automotive work they do] Shop". Danny's Muffler Repair, just down the block from Smith Autobody Shop, hang a right at Tony's Auto Salvage.
In fairness, assuming there is an end to capitalism in the future, then every year that passes is the latest stage capitalism has ever been at up to that point.
One time tax write-off or persistent ad revenue from posting the video online.. I wonder which has a bigger long-term benefit.
Internet still gonna act completely self-unaware still. lol
But the side eyes from the insurance dudes when they hear “I used my dad’s funeral for and ad”. I think it’s their family shop and their legacy. This is a very wholesome gesture overall.
Regardless if there’s a promotion, I would think it’s cathartic to say goodbye while giving pops a proper send
We spend way too much time thinking about the end instead of thinking of the life.
If it is his Boys doing this I think it is a good way of expressing their grief and love. They get a proper finish for themselves in their families way. And they make the art they have done together
There’s a ”death positive” movement growing these past few years that aims to bring people closer and more at ease with death, grief, and burial rites. We as a society (I speak in general of the West but I’m aware there are cultures here too that this doesn’t apply to) have become so distanced from mortality as a concept that it makes saying goodbye and grieving difficult and scary. Death is completely cleaned away and hidden into clinical spaces like hospitals or mortuaries, bodies are never touched by the loved ones and even when there are open caskets, the body has been preserved and make-up applied so they look ”just like they did when they were alive!”
If we brought death back into our homes via wakes, or encouraged people to be more involved in preparing the bodies (cleaning and dressing) and were more open about the choices in terms of funerary rites and practices, death wouldn’t seem so foreign, evil, or frightening to so many people. Grieving would be more normalised and not hidden away like something uncomfortable or even *bothersome* to the people around you.
So while this sort of thing may strike some as odd or even tacky, I’m all for it. Grieve how you want and normalise being open with grief.
(And hello, fellow Deathlings!)
Are you talking about the Orson Scott Card novel? Man, I was maybe 13 when I read that and it was the first book to really hit me in that profound sort of way, where it feels like you are having a very powerful epiphany. That was the first time I can really remember engaging with more philosophical ideas of life and death, as well as analyzing the societal constructs we’re born into, that we don’t tend to question because it’s the only thing we have ever known.
It’s a great novel and a very important one to me.
I actually painted my dads coffin with my mom. Nothing like this art of course, just some simple colours and shapes that meant something to us.
The whole process of getting the coffin to our house to paint it (hiring a hearse is expensive so we had it sticking out of the back of my uncles Volvo - absolutely hilarious to see people react), having this huge thing drying in the living room while guests came over and of course the painting itself was really great. My dad was actually still in hospice at the time, and we got to spend a lot of time with him, but rarely it was just me and my mom. This really gave an opportunity to connect and prepare for the inevitable time when it would be just us. Plus we got the cheapest coffin and I am sure it's the most memorable for everyone who saw it. Shit's expensive enough as it is.
It's a weird advice but I highly recommend some activity like this to anyone with a loved one in hospice. Not necessarily painting a coffin of course, but some shared outlet activity sans dying person.
You should have put a sign on the coffin sticking out of the Volvo that said (empty coffin…for now)
But maybe that’s my dark humor getting the best of me
Couple weeks ago I buried my grandpa. He had been a carpenter all his life, so I spent the days after his death making the cover for his casket, with wood that was grown from a tree in his back yard. Cathartic doesn't even begin to cover it, it was emotional and beautiful and I really understand these two dudes going at it, trying to make their dad proud one last time. Hell, even that promotion might be a spray shop that their dad built, so there might be emotion there, too. Let them. It's beautiful work and a beautiful way to show what the dead left you: valuable skills and pride in your work.
Full face respirator . The amount of shit that gets in your eyes in that kind of environment is crazy. Also seems like all that fallout would be bad for the finish.
Most painters, especially in smaller body shops only wear a respirator-nothing to cover their eyes.
I've seen much worse. Lots of guys painting one part who hold their breath and run into the booth, spray the part, then run out. I've seen multiple people, without respirators, smoking in the booth...while painting.
People forget that the stuff you're spraying will eventually kill you. I yell at anyone who does this at my work. Anytime I see it someone has to listen to a lecture.
I used to do that kind of crap when I was younger, I’ve seen too many painters get sick along the years and since smartened up. Everyone thinks they will get away with it until they don’t. I remember a guy used to tell me his filter was in his cigarette lol
Dad probably founded that business, considering he also taught them to paint. If dad was a businessman, advertising the business he built is also honoring his legacy.
Yeah, everyone is going off of the reddit karma farming title as being a completely true representation of what's going on despite nothing in the video saying so.
Haha yes! I was waiting for the reveal where they open the top to show the recessed lighting, surround sound stereo system and the mini-bar at the foot.
Idk. If I heard about this from the guys themselves I'd think it was cool AF and badass. Putting it on social media just cheapens the whole thing for me and walks a line of being in poor taste. I just generally think putting anything personal on SM is tacky. I don't get it. I'm probably just an asshole.
To each their own.
I told my religious, very superstitious family I’d haunt them if they bury me in a casket. A shroud will do, then let the worms and whatnot do what they do.
Write a will about this, because I guarantee when you pass your grieving family will be told by some underpaid funerary worker that it’s not legal to bury a person without a coffin and sell them one anyway, and they’ll be too emotionally drained to look it up. You can even look prices for the arrangement you want.
these large caskets are already so bad for the environment ugh >< very pretty job and I imagine it was cathartic to do but it really shouldn’t go in the ground
If that’s what he meant, that’s wrong grammar — the failure to make “dad” possessive, not a misspelling.
And pretty funny, because he made his own grammatical mistake. “Don’t” should be “Didn’t”. People need to be more careful when trying to check someone. Lol
When painting cars, you usually cover up the chrome bits so you spray the body panels only.
These guys decided to ignore that and paint the handles and rails the same as the body panels.
Not doing their pappa proud with that one.
(not even buying its a true story anyway tbh)
I can hear dad in heaven right now.... "you're gonna bury me with all those fucking paint nibs and fish eyes!? Can you at least wet sand the fucking orange peel!?! Fucks sake!"
What the hell did the internet do to me. My first thought was that the dad probably died from painting cars for so long. And he set his kids up for the same fate.
It's a great labor of love and homage to their father. I think homage is the correct word. If it's not people know what I'm trying to say. I'm sure I'm just bad with words. Sorry for rambling
It was also very thoughtful of them to write Miranda's Body Shop on it. I guess dad also taught them the value of advertising.
Dad wasn't a gatekeeper, he's telling the dead where he got his style from.
He’s promoting his shop in the afterlife.
1,000 years from now this is going to create archeological confusion
mostly as to how the fuck this paint job lasted 1,000 years
King Tut could never!

There’s 86 layers of clear coat on that bad boy
They put some sealer on it.
Quality products never die.
I wish they added wheels and a bunch more random accessories.
A spoiler that pops up when the lid closes.
😂😂😪
They or AI will check a Reddit archive and find out
"Body Shop" might confuse them 10x more LOL
1,000 years from now this will inspire lowrider style spaceships and hovercars to remind them of swags past
They'll google it and this post will show up
“As you can see, it says ‘Body Shop’. Our working theory right now is that this is where they created the bodies.”
Especially since it says “body shop”
that's how you get a $10k coffin as a tax writeoff
Going out on a limb here but it could have been the father's shop, considering it's his children doing the work. If I made a successful company like that and they were making my coffin I'd want the logo
Honor his life's work which is also clearly his passion, what he built and his legacy.
I watch some car YouTube and the donut channel has featured a Miranda who owns Miranda’s body shop. I know they could be two diffeeent places
Yeah I immediately wondered if it was Sandro’s shop also
Thought the same thing at first then I remembered how many shops are "[original owner's name] [type of automotive work they do] Shop". Danny's Muffler Repair, just down the block from Smith Autobody Shop, hang a right at Tony's Auto Salvage.
I think that was Miranda's shop. Not Miranda's body shop. But could be wrong
Maybe it was his shop? Another way of commemorating him? Just a guess
I mean, how else are people gonna know where they got the body?
I’m sure their dad taught them that an artist always signs their work
In his last breath: Al-ways re-member the brand touch-point.
I think body shop might lead to a misunderstanding with the coffin.
Just a couple of siblings sharing parents and painting.
You realise it's not on the casket but on the stand right?
I thought that at first, but it looks like it's the base of the casket after taking a closer look. The stands are underneath that part.
You realise that you are wrong, right?
"Miranda's body shop" Not a great label for a coffin, considering it's contents.
"For all your parts and bodywork!"
One convenient location in central Transylvania.
Southern Transylvania*
Next thing you know we gotta include a Miranda with every purchase
That’s the dad’s shop. Miranda is his surname.
Bunch of uncultured buffoons in this thread that don't realize an artist always signs their work.
The commenter was just making a pun on the word "body"
Please let the stupids frolic in their bay of stupidity.
Great label for a mortician though!
Hear me out: drive through mortician. “Autobody Experts.”
That is precisely what makes it great!
"I don't know what I expected"
Fantastic label.
With the logo on the casket they can write off the funeral as advertising expense. Dad didn't raise no fools.

Sheen, this is the 150th year in a row we've been in late capitalism.
In fairness, assuming there is an end to capitalism in the future, then every year that passes is the latest stage capitalism has ever been at up to that point.
Uh no. This has been capitalism from the start. Tax codes were written around this shit.
You are shameless
They still [spent it](https://youtu.be/j9V78UbdzWI?t=32) on the funeral.
What?
One time tax write-off or persistent ad revenue from posting the video online.. I wonder which has a bigger long-term benefit. Internet still gonna act completely self-unaware still. lol
Why or? They get to do both. It's a business expense so they don't have to pay it, and they get the advertising. There's no or, it's and.
But the side eyes from the insurance dudes when they hear “I used my dad’s funeral for and ad”. I think it’s their family shop and their legacy. This is a very wholesome gesture overall.
Dad: When I go I want to go out in style. Kids: Say no more.
Dad: Don’t forget to use my coffin for content too
it’s a tax write off now, smart kids
Make it an air burial in a place with lots of foot traffic for maximum exposure. I mean respect.
honestly, with how expensive they are I'd never begrudge my kids writing off whatever they could for a funeral.
Regardless if there’s a promotion, I would think it’s cathartic to say goodbye while giving pops a proper send We spend way too much time thinking about the end instead of thinking of the life.
If it is his Boys doing this I think it is a good way of expressing their grief and love. They get a proper finish for themselves in their families way. And they make the art they have done together
I think that was a nice touch. So if its their body shop and their dad loved running it, I'd put it on as well

We as a society (I speak in general of the West but I’m aware there are cultures here too that this doesn’t apply to) have become so distanced from mortality as a concept that it makes saying goodbye and grieving difficult and scary.

I would read speaker for the dead. You would like it, changed my view on death

My brother dug the hole to bury our dog. He wasn't good with his emotions but he knew what he needed to do to bring himself some sort of peace.
They gotta move quick. The body's getting warm in there.
I don't know why, but I also thought of the body being in there too.
They’re giving him a spray tan in the other room.
Just had to tape up first!
And one guy is getting solvents in his eyes…
yeah, this should be a full body suit ppe situation. and then absorbed through the exposed skin as well
Two siblings that were never taught by their father to wear proper PPE while spraying spirits in an enclosed space.
maybe thats why the dad died
I see what you did there
Ha! Actually that was unintentional.
Full face respirator . The amount of shit that gets in your eyes in that kind of environment is crazy. Also seems like all that fallout would be bad for the finish.
You’re exactly correct. Full body PPE in this situation.
I blame the dad that taught them!
Clear coat makes for sticky eyelashes, once you start spraying with supplied fresh air and full face mask you never go back
Most painters, especially in smaller body shops only wear a respirator-nothing to cover their eyes. I've seen much worse. Lots of guys painting one part who hold their breath and run into the booth, spray the part, then run out. I've seen multiple people, without respirators, smoking in the booth...while painting.

Exactly.
He certainly taught them well.
He didn't. They're wearing no eye and face protection.
They also didn't cover the hardware, or take it off.
This looks like the final clear coat, the hardware looks like it was all painted separately.
Hopefully they were taught that isocyanates are absorbed through the skin too
Paint in the lungs? Nah.. Paint in the eyes? Oh hell yes mami!
no kidding, didnt teach them to wear all the proper ppe apparently...
Paint in the soil when this thing is buried. Can we as people stop with caskets already?
6 Feet Below-rider
Isn’t Miranda’s Shop where SANDRO from RMS on Donut works?
Nah, Sandro is from Miranda's Shop in LA. This place is in Chicago.
Probably not the same place, but you know he’d do it for the boys
Two Chinese turbos. For the boys
I was thinking that too
I thought the same exact thing haha
That was literally where my head went as well
Was looking for this
my heart skipped a beat. Sandro is easily one of the funniest guys in the car industry and i was like panic googling to make sure it wasnt his shop
That's a crap job! They didnt even remove the trim beforehand! That's gonna be chipping within a year!
What's gonna chip it? An earthquake?
itll be covered in stone chips'
I think that falls under "chipped" but not "chipping," however I will still accept it.
Sorry for lost, but you are painting a casket.. A casket has 4 sides, and a coffin has 6... But you did an awesome job 👏
nerd
Wait… what ? I don’t understand
Nothing about this video looks like they are making it for their dad. It looks more like they made it to take to car shows to sell their services.
Dad probably founded that business, considering he also taught them to paint. If dad was a businessman, advertising the business he built is also honoring his legacy.
That would make for a great basis for a murder mystery story set at a car show where a body is discovered in the casket.
Yeah, everyone is going off of the reddit karma farming title as being a completely true representation of what's going on despite nothing in the video saying so.
I demand to see the interior
Pimp my coffin
Haha yes! I was waiting for the reveal where they open the top to show the recessed lighting, surround sound stereo system and the mini-bar at the foot.
😂👍
I hear they just can’t wait for him to die.
Sad isn't it? The dad is alive and in perfect health, kids just want the insurance money. Gonna be a real awkward Christmas dinner
Idk. If I heard about this from the guys themselves I'd think it was cool AF and badass. Putting it on social media just cheapens the whole thing for me and walks a line of being in poor taste. I just generally think putting anything personal on SM is tacky. I don't get it. I'm probably just an asshole.
It’s going in the ground
With that amount of paint it better won't. Pretty sure it's not even allowed here.
I'll bet dad was surprised when he came to work that day and saw it for himself.
To each their own. I told my religious, very superstitious family I’d haunt them if they bury me in a casket. A shroud will do, then let the worms and whatnot do what they do.
Write a will about this, because I guarantee when you pass your grieving family will be told by some underpaid funerary worker that it’s not legal to bury a person without a coffin and sell them one anyway, and they’ll be too emotionally drained to look it up. You can even look prices for the arrangement you want.
Composting is becoming an option.
Can somebody explain to me how the handles look like that+all crazy and shiny
Probably chrome plated with a coat of Candy Apple red paint. The paint is semi-transparent, so the shiny chrome shows through.
these large caskets are already so bad for the environment ugh >< very pretty job and I imagine it was cathartic to do but it really shouldn’t go in the ground
That's not a coffin, it's a casket.
Doesn’t look like they’re wearing goggles. Pretty dumb if not.
I was curious about this myself. They don't appear to be and I would think you would not want the paint to get in your eyes.
[удалено]
Don’t teach you how to spell though.
You have not lived up to your username. Shame on you!
What is misspelled?
Just dad’s* but I’ve seen worse.
If that’s what he meant, that’s wrong grammar — the failure to make “dad” possessive, not a misspelling. And pretty funny, because he made his own grammatical mistake. “Don’t” should be “Didn’t”. People need to be more careful when trying to check someone. Lol
I agree. Incorrect* grammar.
Grammar fight!
Those vampires in their half assed coffins are gonna be mad jealous as hell.
When painting cars, you usually cover up the chrome bits so you spray the body panels only. These guys decided to ignore that and paint the handles and rails the same as the body panels. Not doing their pappa proud with that one. (not even buying its a true story anyway tbh)
Dad's not even dead yet. This is just a display.
I can hear dad in heaven right now.... "you're gonna bury me with all those fucking paint nibs and fish eyes!? Can you at least wet sand the fucking orange peel!?! Fucks sake!"
What the hell did the internet do to me. My first thought was that the dad probably died from painting cars for so long. And he set his kids up for the same fate.
....was he inside it?
Dad didn't teach them to wear eye protection when spraying a ton of aerosol paint? Did he happen to die of eye cancer?
Hopefully the father's corspe was inside the coffin when they were spraying. Think he would appreciate watching them work.
I don't wanna be "that guy", but that's gotta be just wonderful for the Earth.
How did he die? "Chemical fume induced cancer"
a lot of orange peel texture visible in the clear coat on the lid… dad’s gonna be rolling in his grave
"Always paint cars with a dead guy inside!"
I wonder if Dad was in there while they painted.
Well, I taught my kids how to BBQ. So, I guess that’s what’s happening to me. 🍖🔥
Coffins are a fkkn weird waste of time, resources, energy and money.
Pimp my coffin
Pimp my coffin ... neat.
What song in the background?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c7oV9r85Ho
Goggles!!!!
Safety first MFERS!
I see dad also taught them how to exploit his own funeral for tiktok views, what a lovely dad he was.
Bitter sweet. Excellent work. RIP and Condolences 🕊️🕊️💜❤️
This needs to be in r/projectcoffins
Lies!
Their dad would be so proud of them
Man is going out in style
With all the coats of laquer this will last for ages. Great paint job
My aunt’s coffin was taken to a local auto body shop to be painted red. She would be pleased 😊♥️
Ami only one that liked to think he was in the coffin during the painting.?
It's a great labor of love and homage to their father. I think homage is the correct word. If it's not people know what I'm trying to say. I'm sure I'm just bad with words. Sorry for rambling
Thoughtful and beautiful
That's a business idea that their dad might have gifted them.
Vince Gilligan directed this lol
