HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN - Duchess - 01-31-2014



The family of an Ohio biker has fulfilled his dying wish by burying him astride his beloved Harley-Davidson in a see-through casket.

Dressed in his leathers and sunglasses, and sitting on top of his 1967 Electra Glide cruiser, Billy Standley, who died on Sunday, was taken for one last ride.

The body of the 82-year-old, who died of lung cancer, was visible through the transparent Plexiglas coffin that his bike has been placed in.

Cool and creepy at the same time.

RE: HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN - Duchess - 01-31-2014



That was precisely what I thought.

RE: HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN - JsMom - 01-31-2014

I have to agree, its cool but creepy.

RE: HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN - HairOfTheDog - 01-31-2014

I think it's cool that Billy knew how he wanted to be remembered and put to rest when so many of us don't.

And, I think it's cool that his loved ones honored his wishes, even though I too think it's a bit creepy.

RIP Billy Standley.

....and sometimes on a dark and spooky night when you walk by the cemetery you can hear the rumble.....

What year is that bike? It kinda looks like the 62 my BIL drives around in FLA.

Did you see the text talk I used?

I think everyone is entitled to the send off of their choice...

...but this all is just too weird and freaky for me. I kinda cringed. Jeez Louise.

Story

Christopher Rivera Amaro almost looked ready to box, leaning against the corner of a simulated ring, but it was just his corpse.

Hundreds of mourners who came to his wake in San Juan on Friday found him posed afoot, a yellow hood on his head, sunglasses glasses over his eyes and blue boxing gloves on his hands.

I'm not liking this trend. Why not just taxidermy the guy and stick him in the living room.

Mike's funeral was today. It wasn't quite as spectacular as this guys but it was very special. The fire trucks were there along with a bunch of fireman. One of Mike's friends sang a beautiful song. Another one gave a very moving eulogy. Leah read a poem and Matt spoke. I couldn't speak. We had people at the house after and the church ladies brought all kinds of food. I don't know what to do now. I'm so used to taking care of Mike or being at the hospital. I don't have to do that anymore.

RE: HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN - aussiefriend - 02-01-2014

Just as long as you didn't have Mike on top of the firetruck with a firehat on like some of this others in this thread.

RE: HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN - ramseycat - 02-01-2014

Lol Aussie. They wouldn't let me do that.

RE: HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN - Maggot - 02-01-2014

hah Oh Lord.

RE: HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN - ramseycat - 02-01-2014

Father Flood did the mass. He is from Dublin, Ireland. He sounded just like Mrs. Doubtfire.

RE: HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN - Cynical Ninja - 02-02-2014

I don't think being posed and mounted like a dead grizzly bear is particularly dignified.

RE: HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN - aussiefriend - 02-02-2014

My mother is irish and she sounds like Mrs Doubtfire too. We are always mimicking her.
