Fans Now and Forever

CementaryA rising trend in funeral planning is to customize the service to reflect the hobbies or personal likes of the person who has passed on. In a documentary by Errol Morris, the filmmaker discussed the trend of die hard sports fans planning their funerals to incorporate their love of the particular sport. In this excerpt from the document, Morris shows us that fans have gone to all sorts of lengths to make this a reality. Some have chosen to decorate their hearst or burial clothes, while others have taken a more direct route to die hard fan-dom and have requested to be laid to rest on the grounds of the university that they loved so much. The university here is none other than our local Texas A&M University. I have provided the video below courtesy of ESPN.
