>> A FAMILY AND PUERTO RICO WHOSE SON WAS TRAGICALLY
MURDERED HAS DECIDED TO HONOR HIM BY ANN BOWLING HIM TO
LOOK ALIVE AND SITTING UPRIGHT AT HIS FUNERAL.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE VIDEO.
>> THE GUY IN THE CHAIR?
>> YEAH.
>>WITH HIS EYES OPEN?
WHAT?
>> THAT WAS VIDEO OF FERNANDO DEJESUS, A 26-YEAR-OLD MAN
WHO WAS SHOT AND KILLED OUTSIDE OF HIS HOME IN PUERTO RICO.
THE FUNERAL HOME THAT EMBALMED HIM IS A PIONEER IN
STANDING DEAD SERVICES.
THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2008.
THE MOTHER SAID SHE WAS VERY SAD AFTER HER SON WAS KILLED.
I HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS AS I'M SURE YOU GUYS DO.
I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER.
WHEN PEOPLE DIE, IT IS SO TRAGIC THAT HE WAS SHOT AND KILLED.
AFTER THE PERSON IS DEAD, IT'S REALLY ABOUT THE FAMILY.
IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LEFT BEHIND.
IF THIS MAKES THEM
FEEL BETTER, IT'S REALLY ABOUT THEM AT THIS POINT.
>>JIMMY?
>> THIS IS LIKE 1 MILLION FIGURE NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD TO ME.
>> I DOUBLE DOWN ON THAT.
SEEING HIM, IT'S ALMOST LIKE LOOKING AT A WAXED STATUE
FOR ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW HIM.
BUT WHEN I VISUALIZE SOMEONE I LOVE IN MY HEAD I AM LIKE NO.
THINK IF IT WAS YOUR PARENTS, OR A FRIEND, WHAT DID YOU DO?
>> I WOULDN'T MIND A WAX FIGURE OF THEM WITH THEIR EYES CLOSED.
HIS EYES ARE OPEN!
YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO A DEAD PERSON.
>>I HEAR YEAH.
I HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE EMBALMED DEAD BODY.
I WAS TRAUMATIZED FROM SEEING THAT.
FOR ME, THAT IS NOT MY THING.
BUT FOR THAT FAMILY ñ HE TRAGICALLY DIED IN A CAR
CRASH, THE PERSON I AM SPEAKING OF.
IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO SEE THE BODY LIKE THAT BECAUSE
THEY HAVE ALL THESE IMAGES OF HIM DYING.
I'M GUESSING THAT THIS FAMILY HERE THINKS SIMILARLY, THEY
DO NOT WANT TO HAVE THE LAST MEMORY OF HIM BE THAT HE
WAS SO TRAGICALLY SHOT IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE.
THAT IS MY TAKE ON IT.
>> THERE'S DIFFERENT CULTURAL PRACTICES.
I HAVE ñ I LOVE IRISH FUNERALS.
I LOVE THAT YOU CELEBRATE THAT PERSON'S LIFE AND TALK
ABOUT WHAT A GOOD GUY, OR BAD GUY, OR WHATEVER HE WAS.
AND YOU DRINK AND YOU CELEBRATE LIFE.
TO ME, THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO DO A FUNERAL.
THAT IS A CULTURAL PRACTICE I PREFER.
FOR MUSLIMS, THEY HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS WASH THE BODY AFTER
SOMEONE DIES.
I CAN'T.
AND TO SEE THEM, AND THEY ARE NAKED, AND THEY ARE DEAD,
IT'S JUST SO PAINFUL.
AS USUAL FOR CHRISTIANS, THEY DRESS THEM UP.
CHRISTIANS GREATEST INVENTION ARE BENCHES AT
THE CHURCH.
IN CHRISTIAN FUNERALS, I AM OVERGENERALIZING HERE, THEY
PUT A PERSON IN A CASKET.
I GET IT.
IT'S GUTWRENCHING, BUT YOU HAVE A NICE FINAL MOMENT WITH
THEM INSTEAD OF THE NON-TRUSSED UP, WASHING THE DEAD BODY.
I THINK SOME PRACTICES ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS.
FOR ME, I AM A LOT MORE ON JIMMY'S CAMP ON THIS.
OF COURSE, I AM NOT JUDGING THE FAMILY.
THAT IS THEIR CHOICE.
BUT FOR ME, THAT IS WAY TOO MUCH.
>> DON'T GET ME WRONG.
WHEN I DIE, COMING UP, DONATE ONLY ORGANS AND BURN ME.
BUT THAT IS MY DECISION.
IF MY FAMILY DECIDES SOMETHING ELSE, THEN THEY ARE THE
ONES WHO HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT SO I FEEL LIKE WHATEVER IT IS
IT THAT MAKES HIM FEEL BETTER ñ
>> YEAH, I AM OKAY WITH THEM DOING THAT.
IT MAKES MY BACK HURT.
IT'S FUNNY, I HAD AN UNCLE DIED DURING SEX.
HE WAS WITH THIS WOMAN THAT HAD 40
DOUBLE D'S, AND SHE SMOTHERED HIM.
TRUE STORY.
THE UNDERTAKER SAID WE CAN SOLVE THE BONER OFF, BUT WE ARE
HAVING A HELL OF A TIME WIPING THAT SMILE OFF HIS FACE.
THAT IS A TRUE STORY.
