Dead guy displayed at his funeral riding his crotch rocket
Crazy stuff
If you thought you'd previously seen it all, well, you're wrong. Case in point: David Morales Colón, a 22-year-old Puerto Rican man who was shot to death last Thursday, and whose wake is now making headlines here in the United States mainland. How come? Well, suffice it to say that the funeral directors at Marin Funeral Home in San Juan's Hato Rey neighborhood have a flair for the unorthodox. For example, in 2008, they embalmed another young shooting victim and displayed his body standing up for the duration of a multi-day wake.
Back to the present: Yesterday and today, callers who stopped to pay their final respects to the late Mr. Colón got a bit of a surprise. Instead of the traditional presentation of the body in a casket, Mr. Colón's corpse, dressed in casual duds and sunglasses, was instead posed in a very lifelike position atop his Repsol-liveried Honda CBR600 F4. According to Puerto Rico's Primera Hora newspaper, the motorcycle was given to the victim by his uncle, and upon Mr. Colón's untimely demise, family members delivered the bike to the funeral home specifically for this unusual wake.

I think its cool too, but at the same time it seems like more of a joke than a wake. I mean I'd walk in and start laughing at this funeral more than be sad.

think im a lil slow lol did not get what was going on at first , but thing thats a pretty cool wake for some one to still be doing something they love after they have died .
best movie ever! me and my bro used to watch the dancing part over and over again with tears of laughter
on topic: he was embalmed just like how Lenin's body is still intact for viewing after 85+ years (same with Stalin, Ho Chi Minh and Kim Il's old man), just this guy was embalmed in bike riding position... and he wasn't a commie lol

Thats freakin bad ass. Good for his family, that's likely the way he wanted to be remembered. Pretty cool.
