    The taxidermist should have had him growling.

  2. johnhattan says:

    Clearly he’s a big fan of “Psychomania” and plans to drive out of the grave as a biker-zombie.

  3. Benjamin says:

    Usually it is the motorcycle that is the cause of the need for a casket.

  4. RTaylor says:

    Difficult. Formaldehyde cross links muscle proteins, really firming up the tissues. It does takes a few hours for fill rigidity to set in. After arterial embalming they must of set the position and returned the deceased to a cooler. Ambitious embalmer, especially if this was a postmortem case. Very hard to control leakage in a post case.

    Way to go Dave! Just so they don’t bury him and the bike!

    An F4i deserves to ride on.

    #4 “Ambitious embalmer, especially if this was a postmortem case.” Well, I hope to God it wasn’t a pre-mortem embalming.

    My my my. Think of the opportunities for morticians:
    Playing golf
    Sipping a beer
    Surfing the net
    Praying
    Having sex (a twofer)
    And on and on.
    One more ghastly than the last.

    This is disgusting.

  9. Faxon says:

    Hey! How about making a lamp out of him???

  10. Faxon says:

    Hey! He isn’t wearing his HELMET!

  11. Faxon says:

    And so, after the wake, did they have to straighten him all out and stuff him into a casket?

  12. hhopper says:

    This is exceedingly creepy.

  13. kb3myham says:

    All dressed up and no place to go.

  14. Floyd says:

    When I die, just burn me and throw the ashes somewhere. I really won’t care what happens at that point.

  15. Maricopa says:

    #14 Floyd – Whoops! Wait a minute. I’m dead, burn me, too. But take my ashes and mix them into the concrete they’ll use for my statue. The world will undoubtedly demand a memorial.

  16. Somebody says:

    He looks so natural.

    Who needs a casket? Not Gary Coleman- he already has one

    I am with #14…what do I care what they do with me when I am dead…I will be dancing somewhere with old friends anyway.
    As far as I am concerned Hagens can have me for his bodyworlds…(just take a few pounds off me before you show me to anybody…lol)

    I always wondered why people pay for enbalming after a post(-mortem examination). The family probably doesn’t know any better – and the funeral folks are oh so helpful in helping them decide, or by incorrectly telling them that enbalming is a legal necessity.

    P.S. If you are ever told that you have to pay for enbalming, tell them that the deceased is jewish.

    Another interesting way to go:

    The Tibetan burial ritual – being fed to the vultures. Interesting pics included.

  22. Good post. I will keep up with your blog.
