Arizona grandmother's M&M-themed funeral casket goes viral

Mary Stocks Martin of Snowflake, Arizona, died in early February at age 86. She wanted her funeral to reflect her personality and chose an M&M-shaped casket.

The retired school teacher reportedly built her unique casket with the help from her son years before her death. It was modeled after her favorite M&M spokes candy, the blue M&M.

Funeral attendees wore M&M t-shirts and hats to honor Martin’s lifelong love of the candy. She was proud of her handy-work and wanted family members to share photos of the coffin. Her wishes were fulfilled as her casket went viral on Tik Tok.
