Well it's actually a cuttlefish...

I made oysters on the shell too

Does it taste like regular squid? It kind of looks like squid.

So I have two huge American flags that I got from my dad's house that I think might be the flags presented at my grandfather and great-grandfather's funerals, although I have no idea because they weren't labeled and were just chilling in a closet. What do I do with them? Can I put them up on our flagpole or would that be weird? Our flagpole is maybe 20 ft or so, so it might not even be big enough.

I wouldn't put them on a flag pole. Generally there is a special way to fold a funeral flag and you can buy a specific shadow box for them.

The burial flag is not suitable for outside display because of its size and fabric. It is made of cotton and can easily be damaged by weather.

I might suspend one between our outside columns just for tomorrow then.

I barely knew my step-grandfather because he died when I was young and know absolutely nothing about his father (I guess it could also be his father-in-law's), so I can't see displaying them in my house. My uncle, even though my dad hadn't spoken to him in a decade and didn't want to before he died, got his flag at the burial because he was the male next of kin. I was expecting it to go to me, but I wasn't going to make a fuss over it.
