"Daughters create ‘last party’ for mom’s funeral — complete with beer, cigarettes and crosswords"


Quote :
"NEW ORLEANS — A 53-year-old New Orleans woman was memorialized with a “last party” at her funeral this week, complete with a can of Busch beer, menthol cigarettes and a disco ball, according to WGNO.

Miriam Marie “Mae-Mae” Burbank passed away on June 1. The woman’s two daughters said their mother was “full of life” and they wanted her funeral to reflect her life.

The sisters told the funeral home directors at Charbonnet Funeral Home in New Orleans about their mother and planners came up with a way to honor Burbank.

At the funeral, Burbank was sitting at a table in a living room setting holding a menthol cigarette and a glass of beer. A crossword puzzle and Saints helmets were also featured on the table.

New Orleanians are known for having somewhat unusual and elaborate wakes. In fact, Mickey Easterling, a philanthropist and socialite, was decked out on an iron bench to greet guests with champagne and a spectacular hat in April."

It's an appealing idea to have one's funeral be a time for people to memorialize your memory while having a good time, instead of being some weepy ceremony that everyone hates.

However I think everyone would have a better time without having to pretend that my corpse was literally partying with everyone else.

I just think it's awesome that smoking cigarettes, drinking beer, and likely shooting off at the mouth qualify one as "full of life." Seriously, I'm genuinely glad to learn this is the standard.

sounds like a fun funeral.

we had a celebration for my late grandmother a couple of months ago... basically set a huge bonfire and drank ourselves shitless.

of course we didn't prop her up with a beer and stogie. (we did take hits off of her oxygen to help ward off our hangovers.)

I don't know, but the woman in the story passed away at 53. I assume drinking and smoking didn't help things.
