Zeng Jia, 22, wanted to experience her own burial service while she was still alive. The Ghoulish student stunned her family and friends by staging her own funeral – so she could ENJOY the occasion.
She spent a fortune on a full-blown ceremony with mourners, flowers and photographers. To make her body look more convincingly dead she hired a team of make-up artists who specialise in making dead people look more lifelike.
Zeng, from Wuhan, Hubei province, China, said:
It struck me that people spend all that time and effort on someone when they are gone and they cannot appreciate it. I wanted to see what people would think of me so I decided to hold my funeral while I could enjoy it.
Mourners at the service filed past Zeng's open-casque coffin, decorated with chrysanthemums, to sprinkle petals over her body. And a man in military dress uniform stood guard as the service was conducted.
After lying in state for an hour — complete with a Hello Kitty doll on her chest and origami doves hanging above her coffin — Zeng got up to join her own wake.
