Wanted: Industrial Fabrication Dad Joke

So I work at an industrial fabrication and welding shop. Every week management holds a brief floor meeting to cover a topic related to industrial safety and touch on any general housekeeping. I've created a niche as the "joke-teller" to wrap up every meeting. The presentation this week is on heat straightening (process to heat a piece of steel with a torch). I'm coming up short on a solid dad joke to tie it all together. Hoping the community can help me out. What do you got?

(Warning: Morbid dad joke) True Story -- My family were planning my mum's funeral. We always try to keep things light and try to stay positive, just as Mum would have it...

The funeral director was asking us what we think Mum should wear in her casket.

Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.

The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:

"What's sarong with that?"

I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).

His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.

--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)

--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.
