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.
She added: “Experiencing death has made me appreciate life more keenly”.
