Lifetime Warranty

After burying his mother nine months later, a client of the local mortuary finally had enough money to purchase the expensive coffin his mother originally wanted. So we exhumed the body and transferred his deceased mother into the new steel casket.

“What’s so special about this coffin?” I asked the funeral director.

He replied, “It has a lifetime warranty.”

【中文譯文】

終身保修

在將母親下葬9個月后，當地殯儀館的一個客戶終于攢夠了錢去買那副他早就相中的價值不菲的棺材了。他把母親的棺材挖了出來，將尸體轉移到了那副新的鋼制棺材中。 “這副棺材有什么特別？”，我問葬禮的承辦人。他回答說，“這種棺材終生保修”。
