Holiday decorations appear to get more elaborate year after year.
They take time, effort and thoughtful planning.
“I had just purchased the skeleton carrying the casket to go along with my graveyard to really set my halloween decor off this year,” a woman named Salena wrote on TikTok, attached to a video with a request from a neighbor to remove a coffin decoration.
The footage, captured by a security camera Oct. 4 in Ducan, South Carolina, shows a man at her front door saying, “I know you’re celebrating Halloween and all that stuff,” as he thumbs in the direction of another home.

“He just got diagnosed with lung cancer the other day, and you know the thing is just kind of scary,” the man whose face is blocked out for privacy purposes says. He then asks for the casket removal as he explains that he is trying to redirect the man’s thoughts away from the potentially fatal prognosis.
Kids can be seen in the front yard as the woman kindly carries on the conversation with the neighbor prior to obliging to his request.
At the end of the video, another man can be seen removing the decoration from the front yard and hauling it away.
