Why?
how "not busy" is your family that you think they'll be able to coordinate an around the world trip to to scatter your ashes?

For some people, family trips around the world aren’t uncommon.

In fact, they’re expected.

That’s definitely thinking outside the box by the funeral home and they will have more business bc of it.

This isn’t just a culcha thing in NOLA. The 2nd picture TheCaterpillar posted earlier is Mickey Easterling. She was a well-known NOLA socialite who wanted to go out in style. She had a public viewing. I know a photographer who covered it for the local paper. He said it was the weirdest thing he had ever covered for The Picayune. And he had worked there for years.

The unique custom has been called “extreme embalming,” reports ABC News, and honors the deceased in personalized ways. It’s particularly popular in Puerto Rico, where a handful of creative services have won attention.

In 2015, Green Lantern fan Renato Garcia, 55, died of an asthma attack and was bid goodbye in the costume he often wore around town. “It is what he would have wanted,” said sister Milagros Garcia, per the Daily Mail.

Is this on the fark board? I see the potential now.

What’s strange to me is the picture in the op of this thread has the props on his left. However, other pictures have his props/table to the right of him.. why would they move the table?

It’s so weird, I’d post the pictures but they are on fb.

Ashes don't expire brother.

I'd just pay for a few different trips in my will if they can't do a 2 week vacation.

But my family did several vacations to Europe and other places growing up that took 2 or more weeks. Its pretty common.

But I was deprived because we never went to Disney.
