I know - "To Each, His Own" - and I know that some will say that this is no different than an open casket, but for some reason I find this to be,well, I guess morbid is the best word for it. I guess the family found it comforting...<br><br><a target="_blank" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26290833/?gt1=43001">Dead man stands for his own 3 day wake</a><br><br>Doug
I couldn't handle that, seeing my child standing there looking like you could strike up a conversation with them or give them a hug except they'redead.... I just couldn't do it.<br><br><br>~Karen
Yikes, that's really creepy.<br><br>Andrew
How weird that a 24-year old had contemplated this and OFTEN requested this. "When I die I'd like to be propped up standing in a corner of theliving room, wearing my Jesus chain and my Yankees cap. Really, mom and dad, that's my wish". <br><br>When I go, I hope my family will have commemorative T-shirts made, too.<br>
A new level of creepiness.

You know what I'm talking about stay out all night and work eight hours the next day............on andon.........but yeah I was not planing my funeral arrangements that's for sure. Sick!!
<blockquote> When I go, I hope my family will have commemorative T-shirts made, too.</blockquote>hee hee...and don't forget the makeshift memorial that will be built under the bridge where his body was found...<br><br>Pretty creepy if you ask me...I think I'll add to my Will that I wish to be buried vertical, but doing a handstand...that would be so cool...<br><br><br><br><br><br><img src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_freak.gif" alt="image"><br>
Scott, absolutely, vertical is the way to go! You can fit 3 people in a typical plot, 4 if nobody's fat, and it can all be done with a post-hole digger.<br>

<img height="20" src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_shocked.gif" width="20" alt="image"> Definitely creepy......
Omigod, that is HILARIOUS!!!
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I think it's a hoax.<br><br>But I also live near the "Garden of Eden" located in Lucas, KS, where a guy said that when he died, no one should look upon his remains for less thana dollar. The whole place is a gaudy display of cement sculptures and he's buried in a cement sarcophogas with a glass top.<br><br>So people do have weird final wishes.<br><br>Joel.
Aren't the gang life and drugs wonderful?
as far as I can tell, when I die I will be dead, and not know whether or not my wishes are honored or not anyway. So, I just don't really care what anyonedoes with what little will be left of me. I am just hoping that I can use my body up enough where there won't be much left for anyones wierd ideas of fun.
I don't think the article is really morbid. I've seen worse. To each their own, though I do feel that cemetaries are one of the biggest wastes of realestate. When you're gone, you're gone. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Worm chow. Why waste $6K or more on a funeral? Screw that. The company in chargeof my remains (the cremation part) is already paid ($350). I'd rather friends donate to worthy causes and have one hell of a kegger in my honour. Screw theemo crap, party time!<br><br>My directives are to donate any usable organs or tissue so that others may hopefully live a better life, all skin that has tattoos will be preserved anddonated to a tattoo museum that specialises in such things, and whatever is left cremated, mixed with the ashes of beloved pets, then scattered in the wind,preferably off a cliff overlooking water.
I think I'm gonna have myself skinned (tattoos anyway) and be made into a lampshade......HJ

Great idea, I like it. I'd want to be standing in my favorite shirt & shorts with both middle fingers up in the air!! <img src="http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/images/smilies/banana.gif">

<font color="#003300">Hey HJ, I can sell ya on Ebay if you want. I'm sure many of your RLOL members will bid. I will definitely send the proceeds toyour loved ones....<br><br><br><br>Funerals here on Long Island,NY are around 8,000 and up. You have to pay 50 dollars for a permit so that a company can come and put the headstone. What aripoff. <br><br>As for the story, it's true. Hubby was listening to the news in Spanish and I heard it... I also remember reading about somebody that died and he wantedto be buried sitting in the driver's seat of his vintage German car. The family had to buy several plots. What a waste of a vintage car. The guy shouldburn in hell just for that! I don't recall the model but I know that it was in great shape. I also remember reading about some idiot that wanted to beburied in a grand piano....<br><br><br>maribell<br><br><br><br><br>Maribell</font>
