Sons' touching tribute: Painting their father's coffin

A TikTok user shared a heart-wrenching video with her followers, showing her father and uncle painting a coffin. The men wanted to honor their deceased father, who had taught them how to spray paint cars.

The death of loved ones for many mourners signifies a personal end of the world. It's the end of an era marked by constant encounters with items once used by the departed and memories that strike at random moments. Some people require psychological support to adjust to a reality where the loved one's voice is no longer heard. Others choose a final act of sacrifice, such as personally dressing their deceased loved one or applying makeup they wore in life.

TikToker Mylenemm shared a video featuring two sons spray painting their father's coffin. The deceased had taught his children how to spray paint cars, and they chose to use their skills to give their father a dignified farewell. Mylene wrote, "hurts knowing I lost my grandpa but realizing they lost their dad."

Commenters on TikTok expressed support for Mylene's family. Ally wrote: "Grief is the price we pay for love. What a gesture. Peace be with you and your loved ones." Another commenter added, "Your grandfather would be proud knowing that their last act of love was using the knowledge he passed on to them."

Many people asked Mylene to show the results of her father and uncle's work. She fulfilled the commenters' request, leaving them in awe. Mylene’s grandfather’s coffin was painted an intense, high-gloss red. The brothers added floral elements to the wood, reminiscent of expensive lace. TikTok commenters were amazed by the design. In their opinion, Mylene’s grandfather is smiling from heaven, proud of the beautiful work his sons created. Many internet users emphasized that the coffin made by the brothers is the most beautiful they have ever seen.
