Corpse left standing for his wake...
Uhm, am I the only one who thinks this is just a little too far? I even have a slightly morbid sense of humor, but this is a tad icky.

1. Personally I want to be embalmed like JD in one of his "daydreams" on Scrubs...
and force everyone to hug me during my funeral. I so love hugs! :D

3. LOL.
It would be really funny if you hugged them back.

2. Given the number of SUVs I see driving around here...
...with wordy memorials to deceased loved ones plastered across the back window, I'm sure it won't be long until I'm treated to the sight of an actual body peering out at me from its mobile mausoleum, as its family drives it around for all to see and admire.

4. You're right, it may not be long.
I want some giggles at my funeral. I want "Hail to the Redskins" played, and other stupid little things to add some levity, but this is downright strange.

8. You mean like clips from the MTM show when Chuckles the Clown died?
"Chuckles Bites the Dust"

7. Or have it strapped to the roof.
Like granny on the Beverly Hillbillies.
