To be fully prepared in case your loved one rises from their coffin during the viewing, have high-voltage shock paddles at the ready. Next, don’t let your guard down while transporting the body to the grave; we recommend an escort armed with machetes riding in the hearse. Finally, please triple-confirm that the deceased is fully dead before burial; otherwise, prepare for countless headaches (pissed off at having to dig themselves out of their grave, shambling back to your house in the night, etc.). In short, enjoy mourning your loved one, but pray they didn’t select the one true correct religion.
