    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.

    I guess thats a different way of doing it. I wonder if they buried him standing up?

    Warning: you'll probably be offended, but if you laugh, then you can't complain.


    You reckon they brought a chair along, for rigor mortis to set in?


    :D

    No, he didn't want a chair. He was too stiff.
