What kind of connection does "coffin" have in everyone's eyes?
There was a time when I was very young, or maybe I had watched too many zombies. As long as I thought of the coffin, naturally, the next picture was zombies.

When I was in high school, an aunt who loved me very much left with cancer. When our family heard the news, they immediately returned to their grandmother's house in the south. That was the first time in my life "running to the house". I always think that the word "Ben" is beautifully used.
When we heard this news and were about to go back, my sister was still thinking about what clothes to wear to be more generous, but she was slandered by her father.
"The meaning of running around is to go back immediately no matter how you want to go back!"
Until now, I still deeply remember how heavy my mood was on the way back.
After returning to my grandmother's house, I discovered something very sad: I dare not look at my aunt.
is very irritating, right? I was alone and had a love for me since I was young and I had taken me to buy toys during the Chinese New Year. When I was sick, I held my hand and told me that she was gone in the future. I would protect my grandmother's aunt - she passed away, and I dare not look at her.
I don't explain it to myself. It’s not because I’m afraid it’s too difficult, but I don’t dare to look at it.
Dad pulled me to see my aunt. It was a mobile ice warehouse placed in the countryside. There was a woman lying inside, with yellow face, half-blind eyes and a silver paper on her chin. Later I realized that the silver paper was to allow her chin to fit.
But I just felt afraid and didn't dare to watch her at night.
It was not until the moment of death that my aunt's body was put into the terrible coffin and the coffin was about to be closed that I was amazed: "If I didn't look at her a few more times, I would never see her again after the coffin was put up!"
When I looked at her, I cried and looked around. My aunt has never made a makeup, and the first time I saw her make a makeup was when she was lying in the coffin.
This time, I am no longer afraid, I am only full of difficulties. I cried and fell next to the coffin, but was finally pulled away by my dad.
"I told you not to look at it. When you look at it for the last time, you can't take it away!"
This sentence has always been in my heart. From now on, when I saw the coffin, I was full of sorrow, not too much fear.

In the casket, I have seen all kinds of coffins, some of which are very famous and beautiful, some are simple and grand, and some are a few wooden boards. What surprised me the most was that a stillbirth was placed in a small paper box.
After arriving at the crematorium, studying the coffin became my interest. The first time I saw a coffin, I thought it was super cool. I made a coffin with very thick paper, which was very environmentally friendly when I heard it.
The teacher of the lord said coldly, "When it rains, you will know what environmental protection is."
, it turns out that the paper will easily dissipate when it touches the water!
The first time I saw the burial coffin, I felt extremely arrogant. Just like the large coffin that appears in the movie, each with a circular arc protruding on both sides, it looks very domineering.
The Master of the Merryman said coldly, "When you ask you to carry it, you will know what domineering is."
, it turns out that the burial coffin is so heavy!

One day at the crematorium, I saw a white coffin with words written on it, just like when I was about to graduate from a student, everyone wrote on the graduation ceremony recital:
All the way, I became a happier person, and I met with all kinds of blessings again, not like the standard words of "died young" and "lost talents", but were written directly on the coffin in a very oral manner. It's really cool.It turns out that the deceased is a teacher. He was seriously ill and knew he was about to leave, so he told the students that he hoped to come to the party and could give him some blessings before he entered the fire - just like the blessings he gave to them when the students left school.
When I saw this coffin being sent in, I heard the sound of "Teacher, the fire is coming, run away!" I was really moved.
Once, a very small coffin came with a pattern of Xiaoxin, a slut.
Although there is an ancient gift of "White-haired people don't give black hair", I heard that outside the fire, a strong father shouted, "Xiaoyou, the fire is coming, you have to run away! Don't be afraid, Dad will accompany you, Xiaoxin, Xiaokui and Xiaobai will also accompany you. Xiaoyou, the fire is coming, run quickly!"
There is also a picture on the coffin, which is a tree of cherry blossoms. Outside the cremation furnace, Zi Lun is full of hall. The children asked the mother to "There is fire, run quickly", and the son shouted, "Ah, the fire is fire, run quickly"……
The family used the mother's favorite cherry tree to send her the last journey.

Each coffin has a different style, containing the smaller bodies of the people who left, and also delivers the longing and blessings of the family and friends to the cremation furnace.
Before I came to work at the crematorium, I thought it was wasteful to spend this effort on the coffin. Anyway, they all have to be cremated, and it’s gone in one go, so many things are going on.
But if there is a little bit, a little bit, and a little bit makes people feel that they can do more to the deceased, what's wrong?
After all, the ones in the coffin who were pushed into the cremation furnace were the most beloved in their lives.
