Human Ornament? ...

 
*And on a bit of a side note;

As we all know, you don't have to look too far on the internet to unearth the weird (and creepy)!... I remembered about a story I came across a while ago while thinking about different attitudes towards death and the treatment of the body.


A young man from Puerto Rico as a last request wished to be standing at his own funeral. His wish was fulfilled; 24 year old Angel Pantoja Medina was specially embalmed and propped in the corner of his mother’s home during a three day wake. The story obviously took the media by storm and was all over the internet. 


Personally I find it really creepy, but each to their own, I just don’t think I’d want to have a family member propped in the corner of my house…
