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

FatMartha! Dig those delicious snacks out of the wastebasket! These are just a brand of people that ain't our kind. Worst black funeral I went to the hefty girlfriend (think Nell Carter) threw herself in the deceased's coffin. She fell in, he done fell out (DFO). Needless to say Joey was glad he was wearing a veil because I certainely turned a WHITE SHADE OF PALE.....

ROTF re: the title.. Standing Tall!!
hmmm....my cheetos & shiraz snack is holding up -- or holding in -- nicely, tho. So at least now I know what'll go well for my funeral after party.
I see dead people.
Speaking of Puerto Ricans who need embalming...

Can you imagine going to the wake and expecting the dead person to be in a casket, then walking into the living room and SURPRISE!!! Angel's awake!! o___O
How about waking up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water and having to walk through the living room?
FUCK SHUT UP, SELF, SHUT UP!!!! *bangs head on desk*

This story has me thinking of my own death and what I wish to happen to my remains when I pass onto the next life.
Buddhist texts tell us not to cling to our earthly bodies. Such attachments will only lead to suffering when our innevitable death looms, and we are faced with the prospect of the vessel rotting in the physical while our metabeing returns to the universe.
Still, there's something icky about that don't you think? I think I'd like to be mummified like an ancient Pharaoh, and sailed down a river in a barge covered in burning cherry blossoms. A chorus of Vietnamese children will line the shore and sing Amazing Grace to the stars.
Something tasteful and understated.

Your Mom Ate the....what did people use to do in the 19th century???
And I don't think the corpse would really smell after 3 days, since they embalmed him. Embalming is what prevents decomposition temporarily so they can get through the funeral and stuff.
-------------------------
It slows down the decomposition process, yes...however, in the middle of the summer in Puerto Rico...even morticians can't work those kinds of miracles.

I have a picture of a dead girl who was kept on ice for 9 days because her mother apparently couldn't bear to part with her. Then, on the ninth day, they took a photo of her sitting upright with a bible in her hand.

Awesome. I love stuff like this. And if you all think this is creepy, I'm not even gonna tell you what people used to do back in the 19th century!

NO! Tell us! This stuff fascinates me, as long as I don't have to look at real pictures of it.

I have a picture of a dead girl who was kept on ice for 9 days because her mother apparently couldn't bear to part with her. Then, on the ninth day, they took a photo of her sitting upright with a bible in her hand.
When a child died and it left siblings behind, sometimes the parents would make the siblings pose with the dead child.
When a family member died, that person would be kept in a coffin in the family's livingroom for all to see.

Are his eyes open or what? My computer freezes when I click on the thumbnail.

Thankfully, no. That would be beyond creepy and into the realm of Stephen King's mind. Also, I would have immediately gone nuts because I swore I saw the picture move when I was looking at it.

I doubt he made 'plans', it was probably more along the lines of a random comment that the family took seriously. Or is my family the only fucked up ones that say shit like that?

There's something rather tasteless about uploading photos of your relative's corpse onto the internet.
Maybe I'm just an old stick in the mud though.
