Yesterday a guy down the hall from me at the office was walking around showing off the souvenir program a friend who works at one of our California locations sent him. He was very proud of it.

Considering the business we are in, of course I am talking about a souvenir funeral program. Farrah Fawcett's funeral program, to be exact. We didn't get Michael, but we did get Farrah. For the most part, it just looked like any other funeral program, except for the photo of the decedent on the front. Most people go for a tasteful head shot of the dearly departed, but the Fawcett family went for this photo:

Farrah Funeral Program


A starlet to the end, I guess.

I have a PDF of the Michael Jackson one if you want it. Don't ask how I came to get it. My friends are strange.

I know plenty strange people who'd love to see that. Send it to: neanah_e@yahoo.com, if you don't mind. :D

Ooooops. I think I misled you. I hadn't actually looked at it until I was sending it. What I have looks different from the one people are SELLING on craigslist.

Nah, it's not the official one. There are companies that make these souvenir books for us regular Joes to sell to friends and families postmortem , and it look like one of them thought it might be good advertising to make up one for MJ to get people to look at their product.

I love that it contains a zombie photo from "Thriller." How cool is that?

Just a good ole Corpus Christi gal!

See now why I don't live there anymore?

I have no doubt that your people down in Robstown know to go with a tasteful head shot. Corpus folks may have more cash, but not more class. ;P

I don't know what I think about this.

All I can think is that when poor Jenna Jamison someday buys the farm, I can't wait to see what they put on the front of her funeral program...!

It IS a great photo of her. :P

It is. Perhaps a cropped version showing her face rather than the view up her skirt may have been a little more appropriate, but whose to say?

I like that it shows her alive and happy, but....you can almost see her cooch. :/

Perhaps those who loved her best consider a cooch shot as the way they all want to remember her. Odd, but who are we to judge? ;P
