I have a friend, a police officer, who was gunned down in the line of duty over 20 years ago. He was well known in the community for his love of Christmas. Every year he would have his house on the Christmas-must-see list and it was covered in spectacular lights. In his coffin, a large Christmas bulb was place in the palm of his hand so he could light up the heavens.

We buried my Mother with her cat. Before anyone screams about this,keep in mind this cat had actually passed away about 2 yrs before she did,and had been cremated. That cat had always slept with her,sat in her lap or beside her,or sometimes on the coffee table when mom sat on the couch. So when she passed away,I put the small urn the cat was in on my mothers lap.

Tiny Tim was buried with his ukulele, Tony Curtis was buried with his iPhone, JFK was buried with an inscribed whale tooth...... When I was a Funeral Director, we buried MANY odd items. Plenty of golf clubs, bottles of booze, cigarettes, letters & notes, cremated remains of loved ones or pets, changes of clothing, candy bars, expensive jewelry, lit 'flashy-blinky' novelties (how long do the batteries last?), cash, weed, golf balls, playing cards, crossword puzzle books, stuffed animals, irreplaceable photographs, bowling balls, baseballs, footballs, sports jerseys, baseball cards, Bibles, toys, coloring books, cameras, musical instruments, holy statues, items blessed by the Pope, soft drinks, beers, and once, a complete stereo system, including two big speakers and a sub woofer (they were laid ON TOP of the body!). Some caskets we buried were true time capsules. I wonder how long until those burials are "fair game" to archeologists?

It was reported that when Humphrey Bogart died, his widow Lauren Bacall had a whistle buried with his ashes at Forest Lawn Glendale, as she had once told him whenever he needed her "all he had to do was whistle!" Also, when celebrity mother and daughter Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds died a day apart, they were interred together at Forest Lawn in the Hollywood Hills. Carrie had expressed a desire to be cremated, but her mother had planned a traditional burial for herself. Honoring their wishes, son/brother Todd Fisher had his sister's ashes placed in his mother's casket to be buried with her.

Daddy always put his hat on even to walk someone to their car after their visiting. We placed it near his head. His hands were on top of the gloves that he wore everywhere year round. The toilet paper was a joke he thought was hysterical. He passed in May 2014 just 4 days before his 95th birthday. He and my Mom were married for 73 years!

On his deathbed, he declared "I am not afraid of death, but I fear having to be broke again. So sons, please, each of you put $5000 in my casket before it is closed., so that wherever I go, I will have something to spend." After the funeral son#1 says "I left Dad fifty $100 bills." Son #2 says "I did the same". They turn to son #3 who says: "I removed the cash and left Dad my American Express Card. It has no spending limit, and is accepted everywhere."

He kept the ashes of many of his beloved animals, including Benji, Arnold the Pig and Orangey Cat after they had died, and it was his wish to have these buried with him at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills). He had a special coffin made to accommodate the animal urns.

Always love these insights. I've always been intrigued with those above ground family mausoleums. Something about being underground gives me chills. Now days people can have their loved , lost pets cremated. Makes sense to me as I love my best friend cat that is my constant companion. When we go, would surely love to have him with me after we pass. That and a cell phone! I'm a heavy equipment operator and farmer. Know of a old time Farmer in southern Indiana that has his beloved steam tractor as his tombstone over his grave at the cemetary. Apparently someone has kept it in a decent state of preservation as it still looks nice after some 70 yrs.

A very interesting take on the normal cemetery videos. I find it interesting the items they chose or items chosen by their families. It shows a little of their personalities as well as how they want to be remembered. I hope all of these gravesites are well protected as we all know grave robbing does exist. Elvis Presley is also buried with something given to him by his daughter Lisa Marie; I've heard her discuss it before but she said she wanted to keep it private. Good video

My mom was buried with a bottle of Pepsi, knitting needles and yarn. Dad said when he died he wanted a picture of his bride, my bulldog Otis' ashes and his wedding ring. Dad had to wait 16 years to be with his bride but we followed his wishes. Then, as we did for our mom in 1998, we did the last thing we could ever do for him. His children covered his grave with dirt. It was therapeutic and dad would have laughed as we carefully removed rocks so they wouldn't damage his vault. I miss them both so much.
