by Stacy Conradt - July 23, 2008 - 2:27 PM

I think this one is pretty self-explanatory. Let it be known that when I die, I want to be buried with a box of Frankenberries. You know, in case I get hungry. I love Frankenberries.

10 Things People Were Buried With

1. Sir Walter Raleigh - his favorite pipe and a tin of tobacco.
2. Wild Bill Hickok - his Sharps rifle.
3. Rudolph Valentino - a slave bracelet.
4. Bela Lugosi - his Dracula cape.
5. Humphrey Bogart - a small gold whistle.
6. Elvis - a diamond ring.
7. Frank Sinatra - a flask of Jack Daniels whiskey.
8. Sandra Ilene West (California socialite) - her 1964 Ferrari.
9. Princess Diana - a set of rosary beads given to her by Mother Teresa
10. Andy Warhol - a bottle of Estee Lauder perfume.

  1. I want to be buried with a copy of Slaughterhouse-Five. Just in case I get unstuck in time…so it goes.

  2. I don’t want to be buried at all. I plan on living forever. So far, so good.

  3. Ms. West was actually a San Antonio girl, and her and the car, with her in the drivers seat, while wearing her favorite neglegee…were buried with several hundred yards of concrete poured on top.

  4. I plan on donating my body to science. I just can’t buy into this superstitious nonsense of burial and body obsession.
