If you thought you'd previously seen it all, well, you're wrong. Case in point: David Morales Colón, a 22-year-old Puerto Rican man who was shot to death last Thursday, and whose wake is now making headlines here in the United States mainland. How come? Well, suffice it to say that the funeral directors at Marin Funeral Home in San Juan's Hato Rey neighborhood have a flair for the unorthodox.

Too late for Eric in the Ozarks.

It isn’t the Funeral Directors that are crazy, it is the families that would approve this that are crazy. There are bat S _ _ T crazy people all over this world.

I assume he will not be buried with the motorcycle so how will they get him into casket?

Don’cha just know that if they had set this scene, of a guy who was shot to death, without placing a helmet in it, they would have been criticized for promoting unsafe cycling.

Too valuable.
last one I saw went for $30,000 !

I suppose that the logical next step would be to actually
mount the deceased, rather than merely embalming him.
Which reminds me of the joke about the kindly old lady who brought her two dead pet monkeys to a taxidermist...

Copycat. Willie "Flukey" Stokes was shot in Chicago in 1984 and was waked sitting in a coffin made up like a Caddilac with rings on this fingers and $100 dollar bills stuck between them. Stevie Ray Vaughn wrote and sang a song about it.
Check it out.
