MEXICO CITY — A newborn girl declared dead by doctors in Mexico surprised mourners when she came back to life inside her coffin.

Hidalgo state Attorney General Jose Rodriguez says the parents heard a strange noise coming from the casket during the baby’s wake.

When they opened the coffin, they found the infant crying and very much alive.

In spite of all it’s internet users Facebook cannot tell if your face is dead or alive. They have mastered everything about social networking except  digital death and dying.  Have you seen a ghost on Facebook?

Everyone from the New York Times to CNET has covered this. Facebook is testing some software that supposedly can determine. whether the owner of a Facebook account is dead or alive!

Some one times someone needs to notify (set up) facebook and delete the account or setup a memorial page. Maybe soon you will be able to send a message from your iphone  to your facebook account from the grave. Many folks are being buried with their cell phones these days! :-)

Maybe an iphone casket would work?

Snippet from CNET:

“I used to live in a haunted house. The lady who wandered around it in a white nightdress seemed benign enough. She never deliberately startled me or said “boo” and never made a mess. I think she was simply looking for something or someone she’d left behind. It wasn’t me, as she had died, I believe, somewhere around 1672.

Facebook now has a similar issue to deal with. Around its vastly populated house, there are people who waft away to the next firmament without leaving a note or even saying goodbye. But they’re still there. Out there. Somewhere.

Which is frightfully inconsiderate. It makes Facebook look frightfully inconsiderate too.”

If you are dead do not be left digitally alive on facebook!

Don't be caught Dead on Facebook

Revealed here is some New York Yankee George Steinbrenner memorial(video) from Yankee Stadium. Steinbrenner’s Funeral took place on the same day as old timers day..

The George Steinbrenner  burial was in a Mausoleum.

Steinbrenner was buried on July 17th at Trinity Gardens Cemetery, in Trinity Florida. Steinbrenner had a black casket which is not common. There were about 50 people in attendance.

For a second straight day at Yankee Stadium, Steinbrenner’s photo appeared to loud cheers on the center field video screen before the 64th annual Old Timers’ Game.

The return of Yankee heroes from across the decades was always a Steinbrenner favorite, and the retirees wore patches honoring The Boss and veteran announcer Bob Sheppard, who died a week ago.

For a second-straight game, the flags at the stadium were flown at half-mast in honor of The Boss.

Your Funeral Guy  has been featured in the the New York Times on Funeral Cost. For several years now your funeral guy has advocated purchasing a casket  for a Family member online.

It certainly is the best way to go. Any Funeral Home in the USA has to accept the Casket ordered online by Law!

Snippet From the New York Times:

If burial is your choice, there are several ways to cut costs. R. Brian Burkhardt, a funeral director who writes a blog under the name “Your Funeral Guy,” suggests buying a casket online rather than through a funeral home that probably will mark up the price substantially.

Buying your own casket may strike some as planning ahead in the extreme, but the practice is not uncommon, especially in the United States

Funeral Preneed Or Funeral Prepay, please think twice it is not a good idea! The NPS preneed funeral scam, the Illinois Funeral Directors Association preneed ponzi scheme, and now the California Funeral Directors association Scandal all are reasons enough to avoid the purchase a prepaid funeral. It all comes down to one word  “Thief”.

Snippet:

“Funerals have become big business and corporate managers are working hard to squeeze out every last dollar. One of the most profitable and apparently compassionate products they’ve developed is the “pre-need” funeral package – basically, the prepaid funeral.
Industry-wide abuse and government regulation

Salespeople tout these plans as wonderfully beneficial, but in the past few of decades, horror stories abounded. The families of deceased purchasers of prepaid funerals would be surprised by invoices for items not covered by the preneed contract – things like the services of a funeral director, a substitute casket, or even the cost of opening and closing the grave itself and actually burying the remains.

Many states responded with more or less consumer-friendly legislation, and today there’s a much higher degree of regulation over the industry. In some states, for instance, funds used for prepaid funerals must be placed into a trust under the consumer’s control. Many states also require funeral directors to advise purchasers of all the services and equipment their prepaid funeral contract will not cover.”via consumereducation.suite101.com
