they have a digital tour! it is… a lot.

I am ready to leave texas. do your little song and clap, I have nothing to add here

unfortunately i believe i am telling you that

i am ready to leave texas now

Tried to find out more about the triple casket because it's so weird and vague but the only stuff online about it is from the museum text which is sus.

You can also browse the wares of local crematories and this will haunt me. I do not know how you get shoeified but nothing has made me want to get yeeted into a hole more.

This is a WILD story. See the alt text for details but I think if somebody comes in with an order a casket for themselves but big enough for three, you should probably call the cops. This is *not* the casket in question? It's a replica I guess?

jesus christ people will not shut the fuck up about it even in death

The cremation room was a real trip with like, a LOT of info about planning your own sponsored by various funeral homes.

I don't know what I was expecting in Texas but there was a whole room of kind of random George HW Bush stuff and a replica cupcakes for Ronald Regan's 100th birthday party which he did not attend because he was extremely dead.

The "Kodak Moments Selfie Spot" is a chair rigged up to look like the ones they used to take post mortem photographs in the 1800s.

In the Egyptian room... choices were made.

There is also a whole room on the shroud of Turin. I particularly liked the explanation of the "helmet of thorns" and the model showing a crucified hand. This was great because I was just in Turin and I looked at the line and was like, I ain't waiting for that, happy for you though.

Like a solid 3rd of the museum is dedicated to popes both explicably (dead popes) and inexplicably (a history of the motorized popemobile)

Love a sign that indicates "this has been tried". This one was on a casket inlayed with $643 of uncirculated coins and bills. Used to have $1000 but got robbed. The sign says "the current owner uses this casket for various functions and he enjoys the reactions it receives"

I went to the National Funeral Museum today and it was weirder than expected. Here are some things I saw.
