When I was a kid, a friend of our family died. His sons buried him with his hunting rifle. I almost cried and my dad told Patch and I that if we were that dumb, we couldn't have his stuff!

However, if that's what that man wanted and it made his family happier, then good!

 
Non judgmental, to each their own. I wonder though, did anyone take video of his last ride?

 
I guess this is what the ol guy wanted, and if it made him happy to know his final wishes would be honored and it made the family happy to honor that wish than so be it. I will certainly be the last one to judge people for the way that they grieve. I know its not an easy thing to go through and there is no right way to do it.

There are some more pics out there if you google it, I just dont want to post them.

 
"Willie The Wimp"

Willie the Wimp was buried today,
They laid him to rest in a special way.
Sent him off in the finest style
That casket-mobile really drove 'em wild
Southside Chicago will think of him often
Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin,
Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin

That casket, it looked like a fine Seville
He had a vanity license and a Cadillac grille
Willie was propped up in the driver's seat
He had diamonds on his fingers and a smile sweet
Fine red suit had the whole town talkin'
Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin

Oh, Cadillac to Heaven he was wavin' the banner
He left like he lived, in a lively manner
With a-hundred dollar bills in his fingers tight
He had flowers for wheels and a-flashin' headlights
He been wishin' for wings, no way he was walkin'
Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Yeah, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin

 
Hey Zilla, If it happened to be a 7mm mag they buried with him, would you still be able to find the grave? Just sayin, I could use another hunting rifle. :)
