It was also very thoughtful of them to write Miranda's Body Shop on it. I guess dad also taught them the value of advertising.

Dad wasn't a gatekeeper, he's telling the dead where he got his style from.

He’s promoting his shop in the afterlife.

1,000 years from now this is going to create archeological confusion

u/DrawohYbstrahs 5d ago

mostly as to how the fuck this paint job lasted 1,000 years

2000 years old Chinese mummy still has blood in her veins. Considers as the world’s best preserved mummy.

There’s 86 layers of clear coat on that bad boy

u/Shoddy-Ad8143 4d ago

That was my first thought ....that is a shit load of clear.

u/jindc 4d ago

They put some sealer on it.

Quality products never die.

u/Righteousaffair999 4d ago

I wish they added wheels and a bunch more random accessories.

A spoiler that pops up when the lid closes.

u/findhumorinlife 4d ago

Maybe some lift kits on one end? 🎵Looowwww riiiider….

u/Crytist888 9h ago

Ya I completely agree throw some hydraulics on that bad boy and let it pop once awhile in the graveyard 🪦

They or AI will check a Reddit archive and find out

u/Mindless-Bus-893 5d ago

"Body Shop" might confuse them 10x more LOL

u/FeliusSeptimus 3d ago

If I'm ever a spirt I'd suppose I might want to find a good body shop.

u/BlumpkinLord 4d ago

1,000 years from now this will inspire lowrider style spaceships and hovercars to remind them of swags past

Orale pues!

They'll google it and this post will show up

u/MuzikPhreak 4d ago

“As you can see, it says ‘Body Shop’. Our working theory right now is that this is where they created the bodies.”

2

u/Don_Diego_3000 4d ago

Especially since it says “body shop”

1

u/Admirable-Builder878 2d ago

"Remind me to never use Miranda's, this body is in horrible condition."

u/DownWithHisShip 5d ago

that's how you get a $10k coffin as a tax writeoff

u/OriginalIce8909 4d ago

pfffffffffffff lol thats the best comment ever

1

u/SuperDuperTurtle 5d ago

Appropriate since there will be plenty of ghost riding.

1

u/Anarchyantz 4d ago

It is also more technically correct, given it's his body....

1

u/astride_unbridulled 5d ago

Check muh style out

u/[deleted] 5d ago

Screen Shotting this just for this moment...
AND, he's clearly not advertising to the dead, it's to the soon to be dead. He convinced Charon to give the old ferry an old razzle dazzle and turn it into a casino boat with legitimate books, key the rtj tho.

u/mibonitaconejito 4d ago

This is so much a dad thing to do 'Like my coffin? Yep MY BOYS painted it! Here, call them! They'll do an excellent job for you too!' Lol

u/PositiveGrass187 4d ago

Real car guys do this..

u/I_like_short_cranks 4d ago

"Body" Shop!!

u/ThePaddysPubSheriff 5d ago

Going out on a limb here but it could have been the father's shop, considering it's his children doing the work. If I made a successful company like that and they were making my coffin I'd want the logo

u/seemen4all 5d ago

Honor his life's work which is also clearly his passion, what he built and his legacy.

15

u/Cautionzombie 4d ago

I watch some car YouTube and the donut channel has featured a Miranda who owns Miranda’s body shop. I know they could be two diffeeent places

6

u/ifhookscouldkill 4d ago

Yeah I immediately wondered if it was Sandro’s shop also

2

u/____8008135_____ 4d ago

Thought the same thing at first then I remembered how many shops are "[original owner's name] [type of automotive work they do] Shop". Danny's Muffler Repair, just down the block from Smith Autobody Shop, hang a right at Tony's Auto Salvage.

2

u/EmmiPigen 4d ago

I think that was Miranda's shop. Not Miranda's body shop. But could be wrong

1

u/ldelossa 4d ago

Yup exactly, im sure this was the sentiment, less advertising and more a tribute to their fathers livelihood and business which most likely supported them. I find this very nice and a tribute id enjoy given the same scenario.

u/veganize-it 4d ago

What? No. Most videos on Reddit (or social media for that matter) are ads. People are so naive these days.

u/Lean__Lantern 5d ago

Maybe it was his shop? Another way of commemorating him? Just a guess

70

u/Momochichi 5d ago

I mean, how else are people gonna know where they got the body?

29

u/Top-Effect-4321 5d ago

I’m sure their dad taught them that an artist always signs their work

u/Snellyman 5d ago

In his last breath: Al-ways re-member the brand touch-point.

1

u/lilsnatchsniffz 5d ago

That's awesome my Dad's name is Miranda too.

12

u/strongman_squirrel 5d ago

I think body shop might lead to a misunderstanding with the coffin.

u/IA-HI-CO-IA 5d ago

Just a couple of siblings sharing parents and painting.

u/Budget-Rip-9418 5d ago

🤣🤣🤣

u/NevadaPL 5d ago

You realise it's not on the casket but on the stand right?

12

u/zherok 5d ago

I thought that at first, but it looks like it's the base of the casket after taking a closer look. The stands are underneath that part.

8

u/Laffenor 5d ago

You realise that you are wrong, right?

1

u/QuadraticCowboy 5d ago

Cynical take lol maybe tho.  It’s also just funny 

6

u/El_Chairman_Dennis 5d ago

What if dad started the company and they're just including the business name in his send off

1

u/chilehead 5d ago

He's branching out into another kind of body.

1

u/Special_Loan8725 5d ago

Well where else would you put a body shop shout out?

1

u/Budget-Rip-9418 5d ago

😂🤣🤣

1

u/jensalik 5d ago

Although "body shop" might send mixed signals in that case...

1

u/the_YellowRanger 5d ago

I mean, if he taught them, Miranda could be their last name. It could be part of his legacy.

u/pup_mercury 5d ago edited 5d ago

The hustle doesn't die with you.

u/ShroomEnthused 5d ago

Dead body shop, amirite? Wakka wakka

1

u/freeLightbulbs 5d ago

That's where they are buying to body to put in it.

u/Born-Replacement-366 5d ago

"body" shop.

slightly macabre pun but good one

u/Far-Consequence7890 5d ago

Gotta get that plug

u/Smoked_Carp 5d ago

Shameless advertising.

1

u/skyactive 5d ago

Familia with businesses like that are Miranda's Body shop, it is how some names came about after all. It is useful info. No, we are the Gomez's with Miranda's on 79th Street.

1

u/Fine-University-8044 5d ago

I thought it was just on the table on which the coffin is standing, not the coffin itself!

1

u/veganize-it 4d ago

Love it, don’t use the real shop name so that you don’t advertise as well.

1

u/TactlessTortoise 4d ago

While you have a point, it could also be the dad's shop. Miranda could be the dad's surname, a dead wife or sister, maybe the dad's dead name (heehee, get it? Sorry.), or indeed just shameless advertising.

1

u/cjrun 4d ago

Dad was proud of his shop.

1

u/COvelo 4d ago

And the value of puns

1

u/m7i93 4d ago

They took Body Shop to another level

1

u/anonareyouokay 4d ago

It looks like it's a family shop. They gave their dad one last shout out.

1

u/TourAlternative364 4d ago

I feel like it needs some undercarriage lights or something 

1

u/AnthonyCyclist 4d ago

Follow me to Miranda's Body Shop!

1

u/mrASSMAN 4d ago

Don’t see anything wrong with that.. he would want to help his kids be successful and proud of their work

1

u/Axeman2063 4d ago

Plot twist: that's the name of the funeral home

1

u/waavysnake 4d ago

If its a family business that the dad started then it gets a pass since he did teach them how to paint. If not then its bad taste.

1

u/WaynonPriory 1d ago

The optimist in me would like to think it’s part of the homage and the dad made the business

1

u/CitizenTaro 12h ago

Plot twist; they killed the old bastard for the business and the viral TikTok.
