Dead Man Riding

Twenty-two year old David was murdered on Thursday, April 22, 2010. His family hired Marin Funeral Home in Puerto Rico to exhibit his remains on his favorite motorcycle per his request. This same funeral home embalmed the “Dead Man Standing” in 2008.

While people around the world have found unique ways of burying their loved ones (such as in a car-shaped coffin), there aren’t many people who decide to display the deceased similar to a wax museum character.
