Lead-Lined Casket of the Governor’s Elite Display

A polished mahogany casket lined internally with thick dull-gray lead sheeting visible at the seams, designed for prolonged containment of high-status remains without scent or radiation leakage. The lid bears the subtle engraving of a gilt funeral wreath surrounding Necros’s crest, its reflective surface contrasting with the matte finish to emphasize Tranquil Repose’s faux prestige. Jobel positions this casket at the center of the Chapel of Rest, ensuring the elite corpse inside remains pristine long enough for the presidential spectacle while the surrounding staff struggles to maintain appearances.
