The Chestnut

On the industry of death and dying

In the used car salesroom of death
We tour the selection of carriages
To match your outfit
To match the pageantry
In our constant state of numb planning

Conventional Collection, Traditional Styling and Materials

I try to think of how you would want to be displayed
Or if you would care

Puritan Stain

Still feeling like this whole process
Is like planning our wedding, in an alternate universe

Gloss Finish

We settle on a range
As our alternate universe selves would have done
Eliminating the add-ons we don’t need

Patented Locking System

We game-plan negotiation tactics
We won’t be taken in by our grief and confusion
Haggle on a price. All inclusive.

Swing Bar Hardware

And I worry that it’ll all be too ornate
Or maybe too much like everyone else’s party

Available in Full Couch or Half Couch

I worry that we won’t do you justice
But we would never be able to anyways
So what does it matter

Adjustable Bed and Mattress

Perhaps you’ll look the same as you did in the ICU
Sleeping and still, but this time in your favourite suit

Rosetan Crepe Interior

“Wait, what the fuck is Rosetan Crepe anyway?
Can we tuck in this frilly stuff? It’s awful. He would hate it.
Do you think the hardware will match his watch?
It’s his favourite watch.”
