Guess family gets some credit:  why prop him in an open casket.. let's pose him the way we all remember him.  Half of me thinks it's cool, the other half is creeped out.  But it's got panache.

Body of murdered teenager displayed at funeral sitting upright playing video games
Warning: The story below contains image of embalmed dead manRenard Matthews' funeral reflected what he enjoyed in life - basketball and computer games

Renard Matthews' funeral reflected what he enjoyed in life - basketball and computer games ( WGNO )

The family of an “avid gamer” who was murdered in New Orleans, displayed his body sitting upright in a chair with a Playstation controller in his hands, snacks at his side and wearing his favourite basketball jersey and flip-flops, in a unique memorial service.

Renard Matthews, 18, was shot dead while he was out walking his dog two weeks ago. His family said they wanted him to be surrounded by the things he loved for his final send off.

Mr Matthews, who a neighbour 
described as "a nice young man," was a fan of basketball team Boston Celtics. His body was decked out in the team's jersey and matching socks, while a TV showing a video of one of their games was placed in front of him during the wake at Charbonnet Labat Glapion Funeral Home.

Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it.

I like to think that's how they found him when he died. And they just decided to roll the chair on over to the funeral home.

Got damn that’s creepy/weird 

If I recall correctly, this is not a terribly uncommon practice in certain parts of the Caribbean. Seen a few pictures of Puerto Ricans and Dominicans dressed up in their every day clothes, propped up on motorcycles, sitting at tables with a tall boy...etc.

He died how he lived. 

 

Surprised he didn’t have a backwoods blunt behind his ear.

Nah. He was shot of course. 

Poors.

When my day comes, I don't want rootbeer and Doritos.

Throw me a Cooper's beef rib and s shiner prickly pear and send me on to Valhalla.

This seems like a much better idea than a casket viewing.
