a little morbid

A Pittsburgh Steelers fan, or former fan I should say, has made national news recently. Basically he passed away from cancer, and had the viewing at his funeral set up to look like a typical Sunday afternoon during football season. He was in his chair, with his feet crossed, a beer and pack of cigarettes next to him, and a High Def TV playing Steelers highlights. His family friends said this is how he would like to go. I think this is a interesting idea, trying to jazz up a funeral. Purely hypothetical since, as a Jew we don’t believe in viewings we just go in straight to the box. But if you could what kind of send off would you want. Even I think that this guys set-up, while original, is pretty shallow (I hope I didn’t shock my readers to much with that statement) I think I would have a family set-up, maybe set the viewing up like my family BBQ have mannequins dressed up to represent my family, that would be fun and interesting. Even if I wanted to imitate this guy, as a die hard Lions and Tigers fan, I think I would just depress everyone even more by making them watch highlights of the Leo’s and Tigs
