A grandmother in Arizona<\/a> made sure her funeral would reflect her colorful and fun personality with an M&M-shaped casket.<\/p>\n

Mary Stocks Martin, a retired teacher from Snowflake, Arizona, died on Feb. 9, at the age of 86, according to her obituary published<\/a> by the Silver Creek Mortuary, a local funeral home and cremation provider.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her funeral was held at the LDS Love Lake Chapel in Taylor, Arizona, on Feb. 18, where guests were able to see Martin\u2019s unique casket during the wake and graveside service.<\/p>\n

Billy Martin, one of Martin’s grandsons, told FOX 10 Phoenix that Martin worked as a schoolteacher<\/a> for 30 years.<\/p>\n

“She used to initial everything \u2018MSM,\u2019 but that ‘S,’ in cursive of course, looks like M&M<\/a>,” he said. “The students started bringing her M&Ms, memorabilia and it just turned into something that she reflected on as part of her success as a teacher.”<\/p>\n

Martin reportedly built her M&M-shaped casket, with help from her son, years before her death.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Martin family said the casket was modeled after one of Martin\u2019s favorite M&M spokecandies \u2013 the blue almond M&M which has been aptly named “Blue” by Mars, Inc.<\/p>\n

Blue was introduced as an M&M spokescandy in 1995. He has an ellipsoid-shaped body due to his almond core and has been branded as having a calm and cool personality, according to advertising materials.<\/p>\n

Martin\u2019s casket captured the essence of Blue, which featured the close-eyed M&M while his hands held miniature candies<\/a> that had the names of Martin\u2019s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren etched onto each.<\/p>\n

Snippets of the M&M-themed funeral were shared in a video slideshow that was uploaded to TikTok<\/a> by Martin\u2019s grandson, Scott Roundtree, on Feb. 19.<\/p>\n

The video has been viewed more than 9.2 million times and has received more than 1.4 million likes.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Roundtree for comment.<\/p>\n

The video shows funeral attendees wearing M&M t-shirts and hats. A single red hat was left on Martin\u2019s casket.<\/p>\n

TikTok users complimented Martin on her fun casket choice<\/a> in the video comment section.<\/p>\n

“She told us before she passed, \u2018I want pictures of the coffin to go out. I want people to see it,\u2019” Martin\u2019s son, William Martin, recalled in an interview with FOX 10 Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Funeral attendees also honored Martin by dropping M&Ms on her casket, according to the local TV news station.<\/p>\n
