The casket should always have the foot end towards the driver to be foot first when being driven in the car. It’s a symbolic step, as it reminds us of a person walking. It’s also made for practical reasons, as it will reduce the body’s risk of purging.

The way your writing flows is perfection. I’ve been reading for hours (miserable hours!) and your article is the first thing I’ve read that wasn’t a chore to read. Fantastic informative article. Thank you!
