Grandma Gets the Funeral She Wants

After Georgina Chervony Lloren died of natural causes on Sunday at 80, her wake on Monday went just as she imagined: Her body was propped up on her red-cushioned rocking chair, surrounded by plants and flowers, wearing her wedding gown from her second marriage 32 years ago.  Via NICK KIRKPATRICK

So, this is becoming a trend.  Looks like I’m going to need to brush up on my embalming skills because I’m pretty sure I don’t presently have the skill to position someone like this.  Most of these “creative corpses” are the work of the Marin Funeral Home in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  I’d love to meet them and learn their trade secrets so that the next time someone asks, “Can we have Grandma sitting in her favorite chair for her viewing?”  I can answer in the affirmative.
