A beloved Arizona teacher wanted to make sure her "fun-loving" energy was felt long after her passing.
Mary Stocks Martin, of Snowflake, Arizona, passed away last month but her memory will live on in the form of a one-of-a-kind casket that her family didn't even know existed until it was time to plan a funeral.
The M&M obsession started when her students gave her the nickname of "M&M" after realizing her middle initial, S, looked like an ampersand in cursive, her granddaughter-in-law Julia Martin tells iHeartRadio. "Over the course of her teaching career she started to receive M&M memorabilia from her students, co-workers, family and friends," she said. "Over 30 years of collecting!"
The M&M casket, which has since gone viral on TikTok, represents a blue peanut M&M with its eyes closed that's covered in smaller M&Ms that feature the names of Mary's children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great great-grandchildren. Mary designed and help build the casket with her youngest son, Julia added.
"She had her funeral planned and written out for years so as her family we made sure to execute it exactly the way she wanted it. She put in her memoirs that her only regret was that she didn't get to see our faces when we saw the casket," Julia said.
Her last wish came true as millions and millions of people have seen videos online of the unique casket.
