MY GRANDMA WANTS TO BE BURIED IN A BRIGHT PINK COFFIN—AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

MY GRANDMA WANTS TO BE BURIED IN A BRIGHT PINK COFFIN—AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

My grandma is seriously ill, and doctors say she’s living her last days. She knows it, and she’s at peace. But here’s the thing—she asked me for one final request: to be buried in a bright pink coffin.

I don’t even know how to process this. It will be the hardest day of my life because she’s like a mother to me. But now I’m torn between honoring her wish and wondering what everyone will think when they see it. A bright pink coffin at a funeral?

I want to do what makes her happy, but I’m struggling. Would you do it if you were me? I really need some advice here.
