Strange wake, creepy pic warning

Family said they wanted him to be remembered like he lived, 17 year old shooting victim at his wake. H e was dressed in his Celtics jersey, playing NBA 2K on an XBOX with his favorite snacks and chair

I saw that the other day weird.

Don't think this is how I'd want to be remembered, the pictures, are running on the local newscast

Is his name Bernie?

I've heard stories about the whiskey fueled Irish wakes in my great grand parents living room 'back in the day' that almost make this seem normal.

my grandfather has one of those wakes when I was in 2nd grade, it was different

At least he was productive.

They need to do this for criminals who are DRT from law abiding citizens.
Show them in the criminal act at the time they decided to forfeit their life.

So I always said I wanted to do the natural burial. Quick fast no messing around, but this may have changed my mind. Prop me up fly rod in one hand Guinness in the other. Creepy as hell.

That’s how quite a few of the younger generation looks today ... aside from the movement in their thumbs how would you know they were dead?

Hell, that's how most office workers look; they probably can't tell if they are alive themselves. I know I couldn't.

That is one of the top 20 funniest/craziest things this old man has seen.

With your eyes open

One of my buddies told his mother that he wanted to be buried in his motorcycle vest with his knife and a bottle of Jack. She told him,"son, you'll be dead, I'll bury you in a dress if I want".

You sir win the Internet for today!

My wife says I'm going to bury her in the '99 Sable because I'll never get rid of the car.

Is there a gofundme page to help the family?

That pic's gruesome, but during the mid to late 1800's, lots of people took post mortem photos. Everything old is new again.



This dude, for example is dead.

Maybe this is a Wilkes county thing, but used to be, when someone died, everybody took pictures with the corpse at the viewing. That's not been that long ago.

That's a tradition I'm glad to say has mostly died out. Pun intended.

I think they're doing something similar with Ginsburg.

It was more common many years ago.... Its a way of celebrating life by remembering in a life like position. I respect it.

Heck yeah. Only thing missing is the grape blunt.

I want tasers passed out to everyone at my funeral. Last man standing gets all my shit.
