Unusual Wake: Daughters Turn Mom's Funeral Into A Last Party! Complete With Beer, Cigarettes And A Crosswords Puzzle

Miriam Marie “Mae-Mae” Burbank passed away on June 1. The
woman’s two daughters said their mother was “full of life” and
they wanted her funeral to reflect her life. The sisters told the funeral
home directors at Charbonnet Funeral Home in New Orleans about their
mother and planners came up with a way to honor Burbank. At the
funeral, Burbank was sitting at a table in a living room setting holding a
menthol cigarette and a glass of beer. A crossword puzzle and Saints
helmets were also featured on the table.
