Re: WAY TO GO, GIRL!!!.....literally.

I saw pictures of a young man (deceased) positioned on his motorbike at his viewing, another standing in a corner (that was creepy) and another young man who had been an ambulance driver, displayed behind the wheel of an ambulance. If it makes them happy at death, then why not.. This lady went out in style!!!

IDK, I find it kind of yucky.

I would not like to go to a funeral "set up" as that is....

Re: WAY TO GO, GIRL!!!.....literally.

you should see pictures of the dead back in the 19th century. They were dressed up and propped up to look ""alive"" while they took the pics.

I think we are going back to those days!! lol

IDK....I find it kind of awesome!

She definitely was someone that people knew & celebrated life! If this is what she wanted, her loved ones respected her wishes. The mortician did an excellent job.

WOW ... Just saw this and not sure how I "see" it. I'll bet she was a riot. That would definetly be a strange visitation, but what a celebration of life.

This type of thing seems to be the current trend when someone dies. I applaud her for wanting to do something her own way, but IMO it's kind of creepy.
