A video recorded Sunday in Guyana shows the bottom of a sky-blue casket giving way as pallbearers carried it from a hearse across a grassy bank. Mourners at the ceremony screamed as the body fell partway out. Pallbearers quickly moved the casket to prevent further damage while one man directed the others, according to video obtained by JamPress.
The clip has accumulated roughly 450,000 views. Online comments questioned the casket's construction, with one viewer stating they had never seen a dry-rot casket in more than fifty years in Guyana. Another commenter asked whether the wood came from a small bridge.
Additional remarks suggested the casket might have been made of cardboard or damaged by ants. Some viewers interpreted the incident as an indication that the deceased did not wish to be buried.
