STRANGE GRAVES--Buried in a Pontiac

[@Michael-pp8lz]

My dad wanted to be buried in his 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Nobody really seemed too fond of that idea, so he never went through with it. I inherited the car from him when I was 11 (21 now) and I love it.

[@nicksspeedshop8664]

I got a 88 Firebird that I'm fixing up with my dad and I'm 20. If I still have it when my time has come I want to get buried with it too

[@debbiekerr7659]

It was your dad's choice. His wishes should have been respected. 🙁

[@1CathyHendrix]

Kudo's to the family for honoring his wishes! Thanks for taking us here. Never heard about this. Hope you have a great week and God bless!

I drove my mother's cremated remains 100 miles to the cemetery in the passenger seat of my Corvette convertible. Top down. Buried her myself, without any funeral director. Only a cemetery employee present with me.

💐💐RIP Lonnie Holloway (9 Dec 1919- 3 Sep 2009) (aged 90) you will truly be missed and my prayers go out to you and your family.💐💐

[@SMcCaskill]

The sweetest gravesite I know off is the Matthew Stanford Robinson memorial at the City Cemetery in Salt Lake City, UT. Matthew was born with disabilities. He lived to the age of 10 and when he died his father asked for a headstone that showed him rising out of his wheelchair and reaching up towards heaven. It symbolized that he was no longer bound to his wheelchair and free from pain. I grew up in a home two blocks west of the cemetery.

[@joannmetz4413]

My SIL was paralyzed from the waste down from 1972 due to a wreck my brother and her had. They hit a cow in the road and my niece was also in the pickup. she was thrown from the pickup and she was just a baby but she was ok and so was my brother. My SIL lived her life to the fullest until she passed away in January of 2021.

Hope all is well. Channel has grown more than I could have ever imagined. You were here early on commenting and supporting. Thank you for that!

We live in the South! And just bought a beautiful palm tree with a large ball that is placed in a very visible spot where we can sea the world going by and our cremated ashes with our dogs ashes(thru the years) are going to be spread over the trees ball! We will always be here as long as this beautiful tree is! Happy happy sea ing it everyday! ❤

[@sandyschannel6917]

Got to admit, that is pretty cool to be buried in your favorite ride

[@johnnytheyoungmaestro]

What an interesting way to be buried, for sure. If there's anything I'd want to be buried with, it would be something that was personally gifted to me/made for me. When my great grandfather passed away, we put some things into his casket that meant a lot to him. One of those things was a hand-written card that I made for him on the last Veterans' Day that he was alive (November 11th, 2021), as he was a veteran himself. He passed 2 weeks later on Thanksgiving at 91. At the wake, I walked up to the casket, and read the card to him, and then put it inside. And so, if there's anything I'd love more than anything, it's to be buried with a very special gift. Thank you for this video. I'm glad they honored his wishes.

[@ampatriot]

The "Road Ends" sign is ironic and fitting.

I just wonder how much of the ol Pontiac is left after 14 years ? If you look closely you can see what looks like rust coming through the gravel in some spots. Especially the edges. Not sure why a concrete edge would rust. Makes you wonder if all that rust water is coming up through the ground.

[@judydavenport9636]

He took what he loved with him to the grave. Plus I wonder if his family was feuding before his death on what they would get after he died. The house, car,and guns which helped spur his decision. I've known of people who bickered with each other about who gets what before their loved one even died.

[@StevenSmith-pt8rz]

Maybe that’s why he left his house to his dog.

[@samroberts5131]

My dad's sister ( in no way my aunt) went around my grandads house saying, I want this this and this. Being the belligerent bugger he was, he went straight to change his will to stipulate she doesn't get this this and this. Infact, she got one step away from not much. Her and her kids treated him like crap, whilst we adored him.

[@chrislowry3822]

There's a grave in Dickson TN that has a man buried in a piano box. He was so big they couldn't find a coffin big enough for him and they used a flat bed truck and forklift to load him and unload him.

Graves in Mesa Az where I live due to our resort winter atmosphere run close to 10 grand and up. Their plot has to take up 20 graves at least. Here cremated remains can be placed on top of existing graves. My wish is to be cremated and placed atop one of my folks. My wife has never said anything about her wishes but is also welcome to be there with me but it's her choice. The best part is my entire funeral would cost less than a grand. Spend the 10K saved on my grand kid's educations.

An hour and half from me is grave of country singer and yodler Elton Britt along with Vaughn Horton who wrote mocking bird hill and his brother roy is buried next to him both had parts in getting the country hall of fame in tn started.
