LMAO. That is some funny stuff.
ReplyDeleteI don't necessarily think it's funny, I think it is what should happen if that person so desired. Glad they accommodated his wishes.
ReplyDeleteIts fine to be buried but whats with all the pics? This just opened up the gates for other creepy ways to be buried.
ReplyDeleteDaddy Grace was buried in his Cadillac,so this is certainly OK.
ReplyDeleteIm sure funeral directors would like a lot more of these.
ReplyDeleteKind of a shame to loose a 67 Harley but so be it. Just don't publish the location or there will be an empty hole in the ground over night. Some idiot will dig it up.
