I drove my mother's cremated remains 100 miles to the cemetery in the passenger seat of my Corvette convertible. Top down. Buried her myself, without any funeral director. Only a cemetery employee present with me.
I am sure your Mom was riding in spirit with her shell , I am also having cremation , no services, my Granddaughter wants the remains, it's great when families listen to their loved ones wishes, ❤
Bless your heart. Sounds like your Momma would have enjoyed that road trip with you. Stay safe and I'm sorry for your loss, I know that pain all too well.
My dad wanted to be buried in his 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Nobody really seemed too fond of that idea, so he never went through with it. I inherited the car from him when I was 11 (21 now) and I love it.
The sweetest gravesite I know off is the Matthew Stanford Robinson memorial at the City Cemetery in Salt Lake City, UT. Matthew was born with disabilities. He lived to the age of 10 and when he died his father asked for a headstone that showed him rising out of his wheelchair and reaching up towards heaven. It symbolized that he was no longer bound to his wheelchair and free from pain. I grew up in a home two blocks west of the cemetery.
My SIL was paralyzed from the waste down from 1972 due to a wreck my brother and her had. They hit a cow in the road and my niece was also in the pickup. she was thrown from the pickup and she was just a baby but she was ok and so was my brother. My SIL lived her life to the fullest until she passed away in January of 2021.
I saw a story about a guy that was buried sitting on his motorcycle. He was sitting on it holding the handle bars and was buried in a big plexiglass box.
Themed funerals on RU-vid... Pretty cool and freaky at the same time. I would like to have my funeral not the traditional laying in the casket with people looking down on me ... I wanna to remember my funeral... Give em something to talk about I say 😅
You drove 7 hours to do this video. Thank You 🙏 Always interesting places you visit. This is why I watch because I just don't have the time to do it. If anyone wants to know why I don't have time I will explain it but it's personal .
So glad your channel is doing well. Appreciate you showing Lonny’s grave (and his missus too). Very interesting story. I pray you and your family are okay. You folks Stateside are having terrible disasters. One love from Canada 🇨🇦🙏🏾
Hope all is well. Channel has grown more than I could have ever imagined. You were here early on commenting and supporting. Thank you for that! The storms were really bad for a lot of the middle to upper mid west this week. It’s a normal thing every year around this time. You just hope your not the one who gets hit every year.
I’d like a basket with my ashes hoisted to the top of a local mountaintop radio tower. Let the wind blow & broadcast me all over town. I remember seeing those towers up there since I was a kid. I’m a ham radio operator & love anything about radios.
What an interesting way to be buried, for sure. If there's anything I'd want to be buried with, it would be something that was personally gifted to me/made for me. When my great grandfather passed away, we put some things into his casket that meant a lot to him. One of those things was a hand-written card that I made for him on the last Veterans' Day that he was alive (November 11th, 2021), as he was a veteran himself. He passed 2 weeks later on Thanksgiving at 91. At the wake, I walked up to the casket, and read the card to him, and then put it inside. And so, if there's anything I'd love more than anything, it's to be buried with a very special gift. Thank you for this video. I'm glad they honored his wishes.
We live in the South! And just bought a beautiful palm tree with a large ball that is placed in a very visible spot where we can sea the world going by and our cremated ashes with our dogs ashes(thru the years) are going to be spread over the trees ball! We will always be here as long as this beautiful tree is! Happy happy sea ing it everyday! ❤
Here in lanett, Al there's a mini brick house in the cemetery, lil girls grave her dad was building her full of toys. You can look through the windows.
Very cool video. Up in Everett, Washington is Evergreen Cemetery. There is a man who was buried on his sofa. I believe they also have an audio tour visitors may listen to as they viit the more interesting graves.
I just wonder how much of the ol Pontiac is left after 14 years ? If you look closely you can see what looks like rust coming through the gravel in some spots. Especially the edges. Not sure why a concrete edge would rust. Makes you wonder if all that rust water is coming up through the ground.
Funny how the road ends sign is right there next to the grave. I think Mr Holloway had the idea he most likely knew if he left it behind they would have been arguments over the car and guns also
Great video. I have 2 1968 Pontiacs one a GTO the other a Le Mans. In the next few weeks there is a cemetery up the street from me many historic people buried there. I am gonna visit Samuel Colt. Colt Firearms Hartford Connecticut.
There's a grave in Dickson TN that has a man buried in a piano box. He was so big they couldn't find a coffin big enough for him and they used a flat bed truck and forklift to load him and unload him.
Really enjoyed your video and had a suggestion you may be interested in. An artist name Goonew had an interesting burial but it well-represented his lifestyle. Keep doing good things man 💪🏾
This is a great story. I am glad his family honored his wishes. I am always enjoy your trips. Thanks for taking us along. God Bless and stay well. Be safe driving home Sir.
That Pontiac is huge! At least twice the size of a Toyota. Most states have a law that a casket has to be placed inside a burial vault and Lonnie Holloway's burial vault is very big.
He took what he loved with him to the grave. Plus I wonder if his family was feuding before his death on what they would get after he died. The house, car,and guns which helped spur his decision. I've known of people who bickered with each other about who gets what before their loved one even died.
My dad's sister ( in no way my aunt) went around my grandads house saying, I want this this and this. Being the belligerent bugger he was, he went straight to change his will to stipulate she doesn't get this this and this. Infact, she got one step away from not much. Her and her kids treated him like crap, whilst we adored him.
I remember someone like this, it was in Jet magazine years ago, some guy was buried in his Cadillac !! Couldn't believe it. I didn't think it was legal. But they did it.
Me. Halloway, riding that highway to heaven. He’s not the first, and he won’t be the last. Remember the guy that got placed in his Mercedes and had the entire car encased in concrete.
