Thuggin in the afterlife...

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - A Puerto Rican man has been granted his wish to remain standing—even in death. A funeral home used a special embalming treatment to keep the corpse of 24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina standing upright for his three-day wake.
Dressed in a Yankees baseball cap and sunglasses, Pantoja was mourned by relatives while propped upright in his mother's living room.

His brother Carlos told the El Nuevo Dia newspaper the victim had long said he wanted to be upright for his own wake: "He wanted to be happy, standing."

The owner of the Marin Funeral Home, Damaris Marin, told The Associated Press the mother asked him to fulfill her dead son's last wish.

Pantoja was found dead Friday underneath a bridge in San Juan and buried Monday. Police are investigating.

I say let it happen. I'd definitely go to that wake/funeral.

[MrWeeyums]

Thats pretty creepy, but it kinda reminds me of my final wish. I want something similar but not to be embalmed, them wait about 2 months, and then stand me up inside a closet leaning against the door of someone i hate.

It looks like he's kissing his dead brother or whatever relation on the cheek... how is that even remotely anything like making out??

[CraZx2ing]

my dad always said he wanted to be stuffed and put standing in a corner. meh.

[2000zx2chik]

It is actually his brother. I didnt post the captions but it says his brother.

[RedRacer99]

that's just disturbing.. if anything, i think that's mocking him. and they couldn't dress him up nicely, had to put on gangster clothes. i'd be rolling in my grave if i knew about that

That's what he asked for though... how is it mocking him if that's what he wanted?

[krux]

creepy. I just want to be thrown in a fire and call it quits. Everyone is busy so they can get on with there day

[TheCrazyGuy]

I want people to have a party at my wake. And I'm an alcoholic, so I'm mandating in my will that everyone attending does at least one body shot off of me.

[af3ll]

Haha yuck.

As soon as you said alcoholic I knew this was coming.

It made me smile.

[SoCalZX2]

If I decide not to be cremated, I'll just be buried face down so the world can kiss my ass ;)

On topic though, thats definitely interesting... I wouldn't call it "creepy", but different is for sure.

[tre2000zx2]

Eh.. i wanna be cremated and have em put in the memorial reef in the keys.... that OR.. cremated and then have a big bbq party afterwards with all my friends.. with my ashes with the coals cooking.. that way .. yall can all eat me! lol... idk.. just though it would be funny

[mellowness65]

more cheeseburgers eh?

[tre2000zx2]

yup.. tasty morsels..lol

[jess]

No, I think it's creepy.


I have a hard enough time going to funerals and visitations....I couldn't imagine walking in and seeing the person just 'hangin out' in the corner like that.

Just couldn't do it.
