Puerto Rican funeral home presents shooting victim on his motorcycle

David Morales Colón, a 22-year-old Puerto Rican man who was shot to death last Thursday, and whose wake is now making headlines here in the United States mainland. How come? Well, suffice it to say that the funeral directors at Marin Funeral Home in San Juan’s Hato Rey neighborhood have a flair for the unorthodox.

Instead of the traditional presentation of the body in a casket, Mr. Colón’s corpse, dressed in casual duds and sunglasses, was instead posed in a very lifelike position atop his Repsol-liveried Honda CBR600 F4. According to Puerto Rico’s Primera Hora newspaper, the motorcycle was given to the victim by his uncle, and upon Mr. Colón’s untimely demise, family members delivered the bike to the funeral home specifically for this unusual wake.

I’ve left instructions with WifeGeeding that when I die, my viewing should include me sitting in my recliner with a laptop on my lap as if I was preparing BoN posts for the next day.

    What was the purpose? Puerto Ricans there are more important things in life then to see your loved ones in such state. God have mercy!

    I don't think anyone knows how it will feel, until you face a similiar situation in your life. If I could buy a space at the burial ground to place a body like this, most definitely. I would visit the burial ground more often because I
    I feel more like he is alive then being buried underground and not bing able to see his face. It's really sounds crazy, but when someone so special is gone this is the only way that I would feel close to him.
