as we all know celebrities aren't
exactly known for being sensible and
most stars develop a bit of an ego
throughout their lives as such when they
kick the bucket they sometimes ask to be
treated more like egyptian royalty than
average joes and perhaps being buried
with riches and treasures is a lot like
the last great flaunt but then again
perhaps we're painting a judgmental
picture of this practice some people
simply enjoy the idea of being buried
alongside something symbolic of who they
were and what they were all about for
example if you spent your life pursuing
the musical arts it wouldn't be that
absurd to be buried with the tuning keys
from your beloved guitar or laminated
shoot music of your favorite composition
in this video we'll be taking a look at
a few celebrities who were buried with
some rather unusual objects
frank sinatra frank absolutely loved
jack daniel's whiskey it was his drink
of choice even though he could have
easily afforded higher-end booze his
favorite way to drink it was two fingers
on the rocks with a splash of water when
he passed away his family thought it
would be fitting to bury him with a
flask of jack to send him off it's
rumored they also buried him with a roll
of dimes but explaining that reason
would take a whole video so here are the
cliff notes in 1963 old blue eyes son
frank sinatra jr was kidnapped and held
for ransom when negotiating the deal to
get his son to safety frank senior
communicated to his captives strictly by
payphone for years after his son was
returned safe and sound frank kept a
roll of dimes in his pocket just in case
it became more of a symbolic gesture
than anything but those dimes served as
a constant reminder of just how deeply
he cared for the more important things
in life
humphrey bogart before bogart's cremated
remains were interred they were
reportedly joined by a tiny gold whistle
that bore an inscription that read if
you want anything just whistle the actor
had previously given the whistle to his
widow lauren bacall years before that
line came from the 1944 film to have and
have not which was loosely based on a
novel by ernest hemingway it was also
the first film to star both bogart and
his future wife while the line is often
presented as an actual line of dialogue
in the film it's actually just a
simplification of a much longer stream
of thought bogart would infamously be
misquoted once again by fans of his 1942
film casablanca many people swear that
the lion played against sam was in the
film but in fact it never was the actual
line is just play it sam hey if you're
