alright, let’s do a #mortuaryreport: did you know there’s a difference between a coffin & a casket? if it’s got six sides & is broad around the shoulders, it’s a coffin. if it’s rectangular & has four sides, it’s a casket. yes, coffins still exist & are in use. now you know! 💫 
(my tattoo is a coffin)
p much everybody and their mother (writers. lookin’ at you.) calls a casket a coffin, but if you’re writing an american death, you probably want a casket. rarely - in six years i saw one ONCE - you’ll have good reason for a coffin, but it’s very unlikely.
