juicy fruit coffin!

[butters]

94-year-old is to get his wish for his funeral casket to look like a bright yellow packet of juicy fruit chewing gum

there's more to it than mere eccentricity, though

You know, for all the roses you give out around here, you’d think they could at least pretend to like you.

Have a nice day, thanks for the CNN!

have you ever seen stories about those hugely elaborate african coffins that people are buried in? it's a whole business divorced from western aesthetics. but. i sort of like it.

Green/natural burial for me. No gum allowed.

Burn me up. Scatter me in the forest.

I like the geometry of Fruit Stripe better. The Juicy Fruit action is going to make you like like a giant smiley face.

no, i haven't i guess whatever suits people best. i prefer a no-nonsense affair that doesn't involve putting on a big show for other people and a scad of wasted money going towards killing tons of flowers and burying decomposing meat in a silk-lined box. and DEFINITELY don't want one of those awful open-casket viewing things they love so much here in the south.

sounds good to me, though i still prefer a very private, low-key cremation then burial/scattering

kinda sorta

think if H is still alive when i pop my clogs, it might be nice to have them buried in one spot with a tree on top he could watch grow and i'd be a part of when he visited me there.
