One Day Until Christmas

Tomorrow is the big day. That’s right today is 12/24 which makes this Friday the hap-happiest day of the year. So, right now you may be thinking, “Why am I getting the Friday Funeral Fast Wrap on a Thursday?” Honestly, that’s a great question. Well, you’re getting it today because you won’t be getting it tomorrow. In honor of Christmas and all it means, we’ll be giving your inbox a break to let you focus on family and all that jazz. So, we’re going to have some more fun this week and enjoy our last couple of days of the Christmas season.

Was Frosty’s Death Also a Cremation?

Though he’ll be “back again someday,” the death of Frosty has some interesting implications when considering the death-care space. For one, (as the headline indicates) the sun melting ole Frosty into a puddle could also be considered a natural cremation. Then on top of that it could also be considered an aqua-cremation, right?

I know that this is a weird tangent, but it’s always fascinated me. Here’s a meme we made at CD that sums it up.

A Christmas GIF(T)

There are many different types of GIFs on the internet. And I knew that for the Christmas Eve Special I had to provide you with the best GIFs, because it’s a magical time. So, I couldn’t decide between GIFs of Christmas stuff and GIFs of funeral things… so I decided to just load up the rest of this segment with GIFs of people and pups falling and/or injuring themselves. Why? Because those are the best GIFs ever. I love them and I know you will too. So without further adieu, here’s my GIF(t)s to you!
