Who Needs A Casket Anyway?


The family of 22-year-old murder victim David Morales Colón opted not to display his body in a coffin during his wake, and instead they asked the funeral director at Marin Funeral Home in San Juan, Puerto Rico to prop him on a Honda motorcycle his uncle bought for him. And now he's speeding down the freeway in heaven WITHOUT a helmet on. Good going, Marin Funeral Home.

By the way, this is the same funeral home that granted a young dude's wish by standing his body upright during his 3-day wake.

You know, maybe the Colón family has the right idea. We should all be buried doing what we love most. Shauna Sand will be buried in a giant lucite heel, Tiger Woods will be buried with a cocktail waitress' crotch on his face, Ashton Kutcher will be buried licking the Twitter app on his Blackberry, and I'll be buried sitting on the sofa in torn chonies with a Big Gulp cup filled with Strawberry Hill in one hand.

I like the basic proposition of this. For my death, I would like to be setup in the superior missionary position over a wax Pamela Anderson in a pre-penetration pose. I envision my cock will be aesthetically but tastefully enhanced to giant size, and wax Pam will be gratefully holding open her wax pussy lips with her wax fingers to my intrusion; with a beatific collagen-injected wax smile.

That's beautiful.

This is actually not new. It was very popular in Victorian times to prop up a corpse like they were living and let everyone take pictures with it. Sometimes they would even paint eyes on the eyelids to make them look alive for the photos. I actually think this is kinda cool. Give us something different to look at than someone lying in a cheap casket with bad makeup.

I don't agree with the cultural and religious rituals of burying and venerating the dead body, which should go back into the nothingness from wence it came, either by cremation or simply leaving it out for nature to claim again (which is know is illegal but shouldn't be). Personally, I'd like to go to the Body Farm, or donate my body to science. Cemetaries, while cool and creepy for their statuary artwork, are complete wastes of land on moldering bodies. Those families paid hard-earned $$$$$$$$ for a casket and what-all to preserve something that should DISINTIGRATE.

Wonder how they bury him after that? Cremation I could understand but ground burial I do not! It's all very Madame Tussauds-like.

The mom has joked that she wants to be cremated because she does not anyone else to do her makeup.

The serious side of her wants to be cremated because it pisses her off that people will say lovely things at a funeral. She would rather have people say nice things to her while she is alive.

I'm embarrased for Puerto Rico right now. My grandmother was sitting next to me when I was reading this post (and she totally reads Dlisted at age 86) and went on a tirade in Spanish about how this is all sorts of wrong.

If MK were to throw a funeral for someone, I would sit front row. LOL at his suggestions for celebrity funerals. There is Tiger doing the nasty with his mistress, while Nike's board of directors are trying to keep a straight face and wondering how they are going to get out of this one.

Thank goodness my husband died before he saw this! I can't imagine what he would have come up with!?...I did a ceremony on the lake we lived on, floated out hundreds of floating "boats" with votives lit on them, one thousand cans of beer on ice, a huge bonfire on our property, and a 3 day party with lots of drugs and drunkenness.

The moral of this story is: Let your loved ones know what you want to happen when you die, or they'll do their own thing. My way to deal with sudden death was lots, and lots, and lots of alcohol, followed by lots and lots and lots of any drug handed to me! :(

When my Pop Pop died my Grandma had a big Catholic funeral. The church charged her $500 even though she had been giving part (way too much) of her every paycheck to them for almost her whole life.

So are they just going to roll him to his grave and then shove him off the edge? Do dead guys have to use turn signals? Does the horn play "La Cucaraccha"?... Creepy beyond creepy!

I saw a video the other day...it was an old man (wearing an apron, employed in some sort of service situation) dancing while some young people cheered him on. He was dancing in a young style even though he appeared to be over 70. This would have been cute and fun except it was so patronizing. The younger people kept laughing and urging him on. It mad me sad and I couldn't finish watching. It was as if the man was reduced to a chimpanzee. THIS situation is remarkably similar..only worse (!) because the young deceased had no say in being put out on display like this. It is best to always be respectful of the very old people and the very dead. It breaks my heart that this young man was staged like this. I don't like it at all. It is theater for the living and doesn't do a good job of honoring the departed man.

Ok, now I have a stupid question. Does the motorcycle and the corpse be buried in the ground? He has to be buried at some point right?

@Stan: Depending on the cemetary, there would have to be special arrangements made to bury both the body and the motorcycle. Both, er, "items" would have to be encased, not just thrown in a hole and covered. There have been similar situations, the one that comes to mind is the man buried in his Cadillac some years back down South. The cemetary rules weren't broken because the car was considered a "container".

@ elmo 533

That's been done. There was some rich socialite (Texas I think) in the 1970s who was buried sitting upright in her Jaguar XKE.

I say go for it if you got the money, just make sure that all petroleum products are removed from the vehicle. No need to make a Superfund clean up site.

I don't why this made me laugh until tears were spilling onto the keyboard....and then I looked at the link of the other guy and that nearly killed me!

Holy fukc, can you imagine the funeral home that got this request? Makes me think of those Cake Boss type shows, where the bakers get these crazy requests that require them to push their creative limits whilst racing against the clock!

I would have been absolutely terrified walking into a "wake" and coming upon this. I thought the guy lurking in the corner at his own wake was creepy but cannot even imagine walking in on this "action shot".
