I've heard guys say they didn't want people looking down on them when they die, but I NEVER thought someone would actually do this!

“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.” (source)

How freaky is this?! There is no way in the world I would have a corpse in my house, standing up, for three days. That's one funeral a sister like me wouldn't be paying my respects at.
