OT: He was a Celtics fan until the day he died

and in the here after ...



Body of dead teen, honored with ‘extreme embalming,’ is posed with video games, sunglasses, and snacks

If it makes the families happy, then who am I to judge. That said open caskets have always struck me as totally bizarre and stuff like this takes it to a new level.

I don't see why it would be illegal so yeah. Whatever floats their boat. However, I'll judge every day of the week and twice on Sunday. The body looks like a Madam Tussaud's wax figure. Creepy.

This sort of thing can can probably get out of hand pretty quickly. I wonder what the strain will become upon the the general conservativeness and taste of the Undertaker industry.

It's just wrong!

But as CHB said whatever floats peoples boats

If people’s lasting memory of me is eating Doritos, drinking root beer, and playing video games I’ll be glad I’m dead.

Honestly, given what we've seen here, that's pretty much your high-water mark.

Been happening for years... attended one in New Haven a few years ago and it creeped me out (and that takes an awful, awful lot):

Damn what a throw-back with those Zebra Cakes

...or do they still make those? Been a while for me

Turns out I like both of these.

Honestly, this seems less creepy than an open casket to me. I get that the casket is traditional, but you really want a dressed up morgue shot to be your last impression of somebody? Better to see them in action in their element imo.

I think Busch Heavy is an underrated cheap beer...but poured in a glass? Really?

It’s gonna be a no for me, dog.

That was so weird. But to each their own I guess. That lady really like to party though!

Let’s be honest, “We” approach funerals a little different than others. Also “We” in New Orleans have historically approached furnerals different from others. Lol. Facts.

No profanity, even with wildcards. Not my rule, but I've already lost enough money on this site.

I think you have to know the person, closely. To us it seems weird, but if it was a close relative or friend, it is the way you would want to remember them.

My brother-in-law was cremated, and I find that creepy. However, I have since gotten used to it (and even put my hand in his urn).

Coming up next on the Syfy Channel..."Extreme Embalming" brought to you by Doritos!! And, by PlayStation 4 !!

 

[Bezzz]

I want my dead body to be taken to a body farm and left out to rot. I'm serious, it's green and it's science.

So can I. Right after Oddities.

I really respect your wishes and intent
BUT to me this is as creepy as it gets - reminds me of a battlefield - even there you are most likely to be buried with some dignity
BUT I can understand why some people would be into this idea
As my father said, once you are dead, you are dead so whatever happens, happens

 

[nomar]

Lived my whole life never seeing an open casket.

Don't think I've missed out.
