"laid to rest" How does a decomposing corpse rest?

How much did that coffin cost? What a waste of money. Just throw the corpse into a fire and be done with it. Dead human apes are equal to dead cockroaches. It's ridiculous to waste money on these things. And why is a pastor required? These morons for Jeebus should get a real job.

Floyd, who was killed while in police custody in Minneapolis, will be laid to rest in Houston after a private funeral at Fountain of Praise church, whose co-pastor said the event will be “a call to justice, a call for social reform.”
