Standing Tall
24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina of Puerto Rico apparently told his family that when he passes away, he wants to stand upright through his wake. Well, his family granted his wish. Dressed in a Yankees cap, sunglasses and a gold chain, Angel was mourned by family members while standing tall in his mother's living room for 3 days.
The funeral home told The Associated Press that they used a special embalming treatment to keep him standing. His brother said, "He wanted to be happy, standing."
The police are currently investigating Angel's death. His body was found underneath a bridge last Friday.
I guess it's not that strange. I mean, I want half of my ashes stuffed into one of Shauna Sand's exquisite lucite heels. I want the other half scattered along Robertson Blvd. That way I will always be with international supermodel Phoebe Price. Oh and save a line of my ashes for Amy Wino. I want her to snort me up, Keith Richards-style.
Okay, I take it back. After going through these pictures, I need someone to hold my hand and feed me a Twinkie. I'm a little uncomfortable
Thanks Davina & Charo

Without question the creepiest shit ever. Creepier than Tom Cruise's insane cackle.
HAHA! This is fuckin funny, I always told my mom when she dies that I am going to have her stuffed sitting in a chair with a beer in one hand and a bong in the other.

FatMartha, OMG I'd Die.. (oops) If I walked into a room @ night & seen Angel all propped up ready to watch White Noise for the 5th time, saying "hey, bandeho, where's my popcorn"

Propping a chap up in the corner like a little gangster Christmas tree with a hideous pair of D&G glasses might not be the best of ideas.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
gangster christmas tree. i can't stop laughing.
I am seriously freaked out by this. wtf? whyyy? who gets to stand him back up when he falls over?
My Great Great Grandmother died in childbirth. They held the baby next to her face and took a picture for a posthumous portrait which hangs in the living room of one of my relatives. Some of yous guys need to check out findadeath.com for some real death hags.
That's so fucking creepy!
If i was there, as soon as i was alone with him i would've drawn a moustache on him and g.a.y on his forehead finished with a cig in his mouth! Oh yes!
Funny stuff written here tonight on a spooky thread! Goodnight, dont have nightmares! :o)

His mouth is most likely sewn shut.

Ok, so my bf said when he dies he wants a Viking funeral, which consists of the dead's family building him a raft, placing him on said raft, setting the whole thing on fire, and sending him out to sea. I said to him, "Are you crazy? Do you know how much money that would cost?" and then I suggested that instead he should just be propped up at his funeral wearing a viking hat and waving hello. He didn't take too kindly to that idea, and demonstrated it by farting on me.

You said it, ME. How do you kiss that....guy? Ick!
On a completely different note: Organized or what? I dunno but at 24 I was still considering myself immortal. In fact, I believe that now, apparently becuz I still don't have any "death plans", you know? It's making me think I need to get my shit together already.

Shouldn't have made the mistake of reading your comments before posting you bitches! Now I can't stop laughing!
Propping a chap up in the corner like a little gangster Christmas tree with a hideous pair of D&G glasses might not be the best of ideas. However, at least he was being himself in death rather than being stuffed into a badly cut suit for eternity.
Is that a pic of him in the same pose on the wall??

Ok, the kissing of a dead body, one that has been dead for days, already embalmed, gives me the skivvies.
Now, a freshly dead body. I can understand, like in the hospital or whatever. Not AFTER it's been to the morgue.
*writting reminder note to look over last wishes*
only a ghetto ass bitch's family would do that shit! this makes me feel especially square.
"oh what do you know about love, you little frizzy-haired pollyanna??"
Stick a finger in my eye, I'm done! Who in their right mind would have ANY dead body in their living room for three days-STANDING THERE, no less? That's some Dawn of the Dead wishful thinking. And, a message to those that deal with the public-funeral directors and all-you have got to start telling people no to some shit. Take a step back from the situation and ask yourself, "What in the fuck did they just ask me to do??" and really think about it. Pure Fuckery.

For some reason, I would love to see a lit smoke hanging from his mouth...imagine being the guy who killed him and you're driving by and you see him standing there, smoking...

I have heard my mother talk about visitations in the home up until the 1950's.
**********************************
Oy! Now that made me think of my poor doggie - I had to put him down and once he was gone they left me with him for a moment. He'd had his head all tucked under my arm for the shot (poor widdew guy!) and I wanted to look at his face, so I opened up and I SWEAR he breathed like he was coming back from the dead - you know that long, loud intake of breath...?
Eep! I jumped up and ran out and everyone looked at me, puzzled. I din't splain - I just excused myself and went back to put him in a more dignified position (having sprawled him all over the place when I ran). To be honest, when I saw how I'd left him it made me laugh even through my tears - the poor guy looked so goofy.

They should have turned him around so he was crouched over, like one of those fucking creepy-ass dolls Shy Kids Dolls with the Yankee hats they have out.
My sister has one of those in her house, and I make her hide it away out of sight whenever I'm over there - I can't stand the thing.
But anyhow, that standing up in the corner thing - it may have been his last wish, but it's still creepy as hell.
LMAO I just read all these comments, and that "Sup" one took the cake! OMG!
RIP to Angel Medina (damn we the same age too...24) scary?!?!!

srsly tho, if Marc Anthony got embalmed he might actually look alive.
"I guess it's not that strange. I mean, I want half of my ashes stuffed into one of Shauna Sand's exquisite lucite heels..."
No, yes, no...i mean, ok but no one is going to have to STARE at your dead corpse, so yes it IS that strange. haha.

@Loozer: (sorry had to say one more thing before I left)
OH JESUS I"ve heard those stories too. Only it was a bit different. In HS my forensics teacher was telling us how she was participating in an autopsy and someone slipped when opening the head and they hit the brain just right and the corpse SAT UP on the table!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!
Might have just been a story, but I'd believe it. Haha. Okay, I'm outty. Be back later, sluts! <3 DON'T LET ANGEL GETCHA.

I have heard my mother talk about visitations in the home up until the 1950's. In the South the term 'laid out' is used. The embalming techniques were primitive if used at all. Gas would sometimes build up in the corpse and there stomachs would go up and down making it look like they were breathing. Sometimes due to rigor mortis the body would move or jerk - the source of many scary stories.
