Steelers fan's funeral
Damn it, what a way to go. From the article:
Smith's family asked the Coston Funeral Home in Lincoln-Lemington to place his body not in a casket, but in a recliner that faced a television playing Steelers highlights, with a remote control in his hand.
The body was dressed in black and gold clothing -- traditional Steelers colors -- and a blanket bearing the team's logo was draped over an armrest. Sitting on a table next to the chair were a pack of cigarettes and a can of beer.
Yeah, I guess fan obsession works for some people, but personally, I just want a normal casket and then some dirt over top of it. Simple,I know, but it works.
