Office Plant Funerals

Because Carl the fern deserved better

Nothing brings coworkers together like mourning a succulent that wilted under fluorescent oppression. Welcome to the bizarrely emotional world of office plant funerals:

1. Held a Moment of Silence for a Cactus
Ironically, it died from overwateringÂ… by an intern trying to impress HR.

2. Someone Printed a Memorial Slideshow
“Photosynthesis in Memoriam” played to soft Enya in the breakroom.

3. A Card Circulated With Messages Like “Leaf in Peace”
The pun was painful. The sentiment was real.

4. Attempted a Burial in the Office Dumpster
Was stopped by security. “This isn’t compostable emotion,” they said.

5. The New Plant Is Named Carl Jr.
He’s already browning from secondhand printer heat.

Office plant funerals: where grief meets chlorophyll and nobody questions the eulogy written in Comic Sans.
