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. For example, in 2008, they embalmed another young shooting victim and displayed his body standing up for the duration of a multi-day wake.

LOL
(rimshot please)
Very good
Dare to be outrageous! Dare to be flamboyant!
My mistake. What I meant :-)
I’m sorry, but that’s just...wrong. < shudders > Reminds me of the older man who died in his recliner while watching football—that’s how they set him up in the funeral home, big screen tv and all! Too weird for my tastes.
I just hope a pole dancer’s family doesn’t get any ideas.
Looks stiff....
You’ve gotta see this...
That sounds a lot like taxidermy.

Dude's rolling on the clutch too hard. TOO HARD!
The video was helpful.
Here he is, standing absolutely still.
Here’s more video of him, not moving a muscle.
And here’s a clip of what he looks like when immobile.
Puerto Rico Ping! Please Freepmail me if you want on or off the list.
Wow! Thanks for that exciting recap. Sounds like I HAVE to watch when I get home!
Kinda morbid if you ask me...
Heaven help me if my ex wife gets to pose my remains for the funeral.
One can only imagine...
Makes my skin crawl!
I can visualize the morticians working on this “display”, which would make for some dark comedy in a TV show or motion picture.
All humor aside, it’s always tragic when someone dies under the circumstances this young man died. May he rest in peace.
“Which reminds me of the joke about the kindly old lady who brought her two dead pet monkeys to a taxidermist...”
Thanks! Just snorted coffee through my nose and you didn’t even give the punch line!
And I thought videotaping a funeral was odd....
They’ll probably have to bury in a crate like the one the bike came in....and there he’ll be, for all eternity, standing there with his rear end hangin’ out...unless the bike goes with him.
