The British Pharoah

[venator]

This guy has had himself buried in a gold sarcophagus, surrounded by solid concrete to deter grave robbers!

No, Mohammed Al-Fayed's still with us

Sir Jim was no Pharaoh, it's the first Ive heard about the concrete. The casket was steel sprayed in a gold colour, he had his beret from his para training in the coffin and one or two other items, nothing valuable. He was buried in a cemetery in Scarborough at a 45 degree angle (so that he could see the sea). Eccentric, but a good hearted man, I'll miss seeing him around.

He was a genuinely good guy - spent real time with his charities, not just there for the photoshoots.

He wouldn't have minded my gentle spoof.

Al Fayed would be buried in shrouds in a simple grave.

Out of the house within 24 hours, down the chute, and, with the certified stiff, a free set of 6 glasses from Harrods, the grocery of Knightsbridge emporium without the royal warrants now.

When Evita died, her body was whisked away and buried in Milan under an assumed name. Her husband got it back and kept it in his dining room. So you can see why she's been buried properly now. Her husband was also dug up after his death and his hands were stolen.

Oh my I didn't know about that jno. He'll be walking around in the afterlife hand-less.

I'm sure he's got people to do stuff for him, AYG. Funny thing, he's buried in a slightly lower-class neighbourhood but Evita was the daughter (illegitimate) of a rich landowner so she's in the poshest cemetery in town.

this is along the same lines, though not sure would like to see a loved one wrapped up, especially knowing how the procedure is done.

It`s easy to spot Eva Peron`s tomb. It`s got a cast iron gate and is always covered in flowers (mainly dead) that people have pushed through it.

They should have built an electronic alarm into it that went "woop woop ...NOW THEN, NOW THEN !" if someone tried to break into it.

AP, ok if you want to give someone a heart attack, they would end up falling in the grave.
