That is true how did they remove it cause from what I knew he never removed his rings and when he put weight on his fingers were so swollen they could not remove them rest in peace always and forever the king

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.

[@Carol-D.1324]

I don’t find it weird at all. My cat I had for 23 years and my dog I had such a deep connection with are both going with me. I plan on being cremated and I just need a vault big enough to hold my husband, myself and the two animals. It’s already in my will. 🥰

[@daviddixon2209]

When my mom passed, I frantically searched the house for her will. Instead, I found the cremains of her two beloved Schnauzers. I immediately realized that they had to go with her on her last great adventure. RIP Buddy, Marcie and Mom.

My mother was certainly not a celebrity, but she received a teddy bear shortly before she died, and she kept that bear with her all the time. She held it like it was a baby. Just before her casket was closed for the last time, the funeral director slipped that bear into her arms, so she was buried with it.

Sinatra wasn't buried with just ANY bottle of Jack. He was buried with a bottle of the first batch of Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select. Kinda pricey but worth every penny. And yes, I have it. Also my brother, 11 years my Sr, passed when I was 6. He had bought me a pair of ceramic bunnies one sleeping, the other awake.

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?

[@Whittdocs]

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.

My late husband wasn’t famous but when he passed I knew he needed everything buried with him that he would need in the afterlife. I was thinking like a Pharaoh would have. Placed in his casket was a half a bottle of Jack Daniels, a deck of Rook cards, a Louis L’Amour paperback, the first season of Mash on dvd, Starbucks coffee, dark chocolate, a cane arrow he had made, unscratched lottery tickets, an orange, Gourmet jellybeans(that the grandkids opened lying in state) letters from family and friends, pictures of loved ones, his favorite pocket knife, a 3 ringer civil war bullet he had dug, the archery magazine he was reading when he collapsed. I hope he has enjoyed it all.💔

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!

There is an old joke about the immigrant who arrived in the USA penniless, built a successful business, and sent his three sons through college, two becoming rich doctors, and the third a rich lawyer. 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." And he returns his two brothers their cash.

Yes, l remembered that.. She placed that on her will and that her Lawyer will get a very large amount if her wishes would be followed by her Lawyer.

Always love the way U tell a story thanks for showing us would be nice to hear of what people are buried with. My uncle and his best friend his dog were both buried together from a horrible car accident that was really sad. Thank u for showing this video please show more. Could U also do a video on why back in the days family's were buried in big mosulims and beauty they are.

[@Whittdocs]

I really appreciate you sharing that. That’s a good idea for a video.

Singer/Songwriter legend Mack Davis is buried in Lubbock, TX. If you follow the lyrics to his song "Lubbock Texas in my rearview mirror" he was indeed buried wearing his blue jeans! :)

[@Whittdocs]

Very nice! Thank you for sharing that.

[@frankwurth5375]

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.

Better than being buried with a live Boston Terrier.

She wanted that dog buried with her. That Boston Terrier died Mama went down too. She died 3 months after her Boston! So don't think it's funny that I would bury a live dog with my dead Mama!

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

It was a silver bracelet that was Lisa's. She asked her grandfather to put it on Elvis's wrist and to make sure it was covered by the sleeve of his suit jacket. Lisa didn't want anyone to see it and try to take it as a souvenir.

Sammy Davis Jr. was buried with all his jewelry. When his wife Altovise realized how broke he was she dug him up and retrieved the jewelry 😳.

Yes I heard that, I could not of done that. I knew she had hid some of his jewlery in a flour container when she learned the IRS WAS coming to get item because of back taxes.Alledgely. but having someone dug up to retrieve Jewelry is a bit much. Maybe she could just buried him with a piece of his favorite jewelry. Not had to do that. ✌. Nj.

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.

[@Whittdocs]

So neat. Thank you for sharing that with us.

Like Houdini, comedian David Brenner was buried with $100 in small bills, in case he needed to tip. I'm a little surprised Col. Sanders wasn't buried with the secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices.

I just happened to stumble upon your channel and enjoyed the few videos I watched so far. You should continue the graves of famous people that are off limits to the public and what famous people are buried with! And possibly the clothing they were buried in!

Well these days it is not uncommon to be buried with mementos. In my Chinese culture we do do this kind of ritual to ensure they have a great afterlife.
