Funerals that are too unusual in New Orleans

Funerals, where the dead man poses in front of the audience the way he wanted to while alive, is a new feature in New Orleans. And this trend is gaining more and more fans. So, everything is very simple. Let's say your hour is near, but at your funeral you would not want to just lie in a coffin. After all, it's so boring! This is where the Charbonnet-Labat funeral service comes to the rescue, offering you to choose a pose and props. Admittedly, the last requests of some of the dying are simply amazing. Instead of lying quietly, some prefer to sit at the table with a glass of wine, while others even stand in the ring. What an unusual way to die!

1. Before the body was buried, an 80-year-old old woman named Georgina Cervoni Lloren from Puerto Rico was seated in her favorite rocking chair, wearing her wedding dress from her second marriage on the body of the deceased. In this form, the old woman met relatives and friends who came to say goodbye to her.

2. 23-year-old boxer Christopher Rivera Amaro of Puerto Rico could have had a promising boxing career had he not been shot dead on January 26th. At his funeral, Christopher Rivera Amaro, standing in the corner of the ring in boxing gloves, looked like he was ready to box, but it was only his corpse. According to the relatives of the deceased, the organization of such a funeral was the desire of Christopher himself, who asked them to organize a boxing-style farewell in the event of his death. An impromptu ring was set up in the community center of the residential complex. Representatives of the funeral agency took several hours to create it, as well as to prepare the boxer's body for the farewell procedure.

3. 53-year-old Miriam Marie Burbank (Miriam Marie Burbank) staged a funeral ceremony in the style of disco. The deceased sat at the event with a cigarette in her hands, beer and liquor, the mood was created by cheerful music and discus throwers. The authors of the idea of "disco-style commemoration" were the two daughters of the deceased. Burbank, who died on June 1, was, according to her daughters, a very cheerful person during her lifetime. Therefore, after the death of the mother, the orphaned women (their names are not reported) came up with the idea to arrange a “fun” commemoration. As conceived by the Burbank daughters, the memorial service was supposed to reflect the lifestyle of the deceased.

4. Another New Orleans resident, Miki Easterling, passed away in a very extravagant way. The deceased was seated in a chair with a glass of champagne in one hand and a cigarette in the other. This was the last wish of the famous socialite. She lived extraordinary and left just the same. Before her death, Mickey Easterling bequeathed to her son and daughter to hold the most unforgettable funeral in New Orleans. In this city, the socialite and philanthropist was respected for her charitable activities, helping children and young talents. Therefore, it was not a farewell, but rather a celebration of the life of a generous woman who was never shy about anything. The old lady wore a designer dress embroidered with the phrase "Bitch #1" and a hat from her vast collection. Her hair and makeup was done by a resident stylist. Mickey held a cigarette in one hand and a glass of champagne in the other. According to the guests, they felt that Madame shared the general mood and also had fun with them. But already in heaven.
