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.

  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.
