lol,
i just remembered the story of 'Ski' Demski..

this gent wanted to be "buried" in flag pole, in front of his home, cremated of course!!!

when he passed away last year, the powers that be in Long Beach, California fought to keep him off the pole.........needless to say.......



Last Wishes!
In life and in death, the super patriot "Ski" Demski is making sure no one forgets Old Glory. Every day, the American flag continues to fly in front of his Long Beach, CA house.

His chest and back are tattooed with elaborate Stars and Stripes, and he owns what the Guinness Book of World Records ® regards as the "World's Largest Flag," one that covers 2.8 football fields. That huge American flag, manufactured in Pennsylvania in 1990, cost Demski $45,000. He rents it for special events for $10,000.

"It stands for freedom, and I love it," said Demski, who also wore the Stars and Stripes in a band around his head. When he died, he wanted his friends to hold a wake in his garage, where his casket was surrounded by American flags. Then, afterwards he was cremated, and his remains where placed in a vault inside the huge flag pole in his front yard. He arranged for friends to live in his house and preserve his flag collection. "It's so nice to see it waving," Demski said. "I want that to continue."
