glass onion

Definition

A coffin with a glass lid, immortalized in The Beatles' song of the same name. The term suggests something transparent yet layered, visible but mysterious—perfect Beatles weirdness. It's morbid furniture with a viewing window, because apparently some people want their eternal rest to include potential viewers.

Example Usage

The funeral home offered a glass onion option, but I think grandma would've hated that level of visibility.
