How to translate? (ru-en)
Мы живем в мире, где похороны важнее покойника, где свадьба важнее любви, где внешность важнее ума. Мы живем в культуре упаковки, презирающей содержимое.

We live in a world where they care more about the funeral than the departed, more about the wedding ceremony than the love, more about appearances than brains. We live in a "culture of the wrapping" that scorns the contents.
translation added by Tatiana GerasimenkoGold ru-en1 - 2.
We live in a world where the funeral matters more than the deceased, the wedding matters more than love, and appearance matters more than intelligence. We live in a "culture of appearances" that despises the contents.

We live in a world where the funeral matters more than the dead, the wedding more than love and the physical rather than the intellect. We live in the container culture, which despises the content.
