What’s wrong with being buried in sports gear? Do you only get to go to heaven if you’re in a suit? Really it’s your final clothes, I’d much rather go out in stuff I actually wore, sport gear, concert gear, exercise clothes, anything but a suit. I’m not a suit guy in life, why pretend once I’m dead?

Here lies the body of Solomon Pease
Under the grass, under the trees;
But Pease is not here,
Only the pod;
The peas have shelled out
And gone to God.

A fair point. If I were to be buried, I'd rather be buried in clothes that were comfortable and I enjoyed, rather than a funeral suit. Author needs to lighten up a little.

However, the author also made a fair point about tributes to a favorite team on headstones. To wit, a "J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets!" moniker on a headstone that's relevant to football fans now ... 200 years from now would cause onlookers to comment "Hmmm. Was this person in aviation?"

My brother was buried in a Arkansas Razorback jersey. I am sure the Almighty had no problem with that.

My ex brother-in-law said he wants to be buried in sunglasses and an Hawaiian shirt, because it’s going to be eternal vacation time.
