Observing supernova remnants provides important clues to the nature of supernova explosions. Conversely, the late stages of stellar evolution and the mechanism of supernova explosions affect supernova remnants through circumstellar matter, stellar remnants, and nucleosynthesis. The elements of supernova classification and the connection between supernova type and remnant properties are explored. A special emphasis is placed on SN 1987a which provides a unique opportunity to learn the connection between the star that exploded (whose name we know) and the remnant that will develop in our lifetimes.
