The World’s Most Adorable Funeral

Hannah Tennant-Moore — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:00:00 GMT

Death is never easy—but it can be mind-bogglingly adorable when the elegy is given by a three-year-old and the elegized is Lucky the Fish.

Having lost her goldfish Marlond just a week earlier, this little girl is well-versed in the harsh realities of death. “We always have to flush fish,” she says solemnly. But don’t worry—her elegy hits some redemptive notes as well. After all, the girl has “more than a few words” to say about her old friend Lucky.

Why Cops Should Let Casey Anthony Attend Caylee's Funeral

JeanneSager — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 16:57:00 GMT

I've tried not to watch the Caylee Anthony unfold, shaken by the fact that the little girl was just two months younger than my own, digusted by the news that her mother was the prime suspect. But when I saw that cops will not be allowing Casey Anthony to atend her daughter's funeral, I couldn't not look. I couldn't not think about it.

I confess I would make a horrible juror. In my mind, Casey Anthony was convicted the day media reported she waited two months after Caylee's disappearance before reporting her missing. As far as I was (am) concerned, she did it.

Now, all that remains of Caylee, forever two years old, is a skeleton, found last week near the Anthonys' Florida home. No date has been set for the funeral, but the Orange County Corrections Department has already determined they will not allow Casey Anthony to attend - because of the gravity of the charges pending against her and the security risk (imagine, someone wanting to hurt a mother like that?).

If Casey Anthony killed her child, I'd rank her with any other child abuser/molester/murderer. She deserves little. But there is that if. In the United States, we are still guaranteed that "if" until a plea of guilty is entered or a jury or judge returns with a verdict. Right now, Casey Anthony is innocent, and she will not be able to say goodbye to her little girl. It's a pain, I, as a mother, can't imagine. It's why I think she should go to the funeral.

Of course, I can't imagine killing my child either. So let's just say my suspicions are right. Let's imagine Casey Anthony is proven guilty - beyond a reasonable doubt. I still think they should send her to the funeral. Because the mother who kills a child has apparently lost all sense of the sanctity of life, of the power with which she was blessed, of what it means to be a mother. A mother who kills her own child deserves to have to say goodbye.

Anna Nicole Buried In True Anna Nicole Style

Alisyn — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 01:37:00 GMT

In a pink marabou draped coffin worthy of Dolly Parton on speedballs, Anna Nicole Smith was buried next to her son today in the Bahamas.

Anna's coffin rolled up to the church in style - chrome rims and pink streamers, y'all! - and was carried up a Hollywood-style red carpet, before heading into a church filled with pink roses and baby daisies. The funeral was attended by Howard K. Stern, Larry Birkhead, Anna's crazy-ass mom Virgie Arthur, Guns n' Roses guitarist Slash (what the...?), and a couple of Anna's former "bodyguards," among 300 others.

I don't know about you, but I lost track of this story about two weeks ago. The body was here, there and everywhere, with everyone Anna has ever known - and I mean "known" in the biblical sense - vying for a piece of her estate. Anna's long-estranged mother Virgie has been fighting for the right to take Anna's body back to her home state of Texas, as well as the right to exhume the body of Anna's son Daniel, up until minutes before the funeral began. Way to go, Grandma! There were just too many crazy rumors and emergency court hearings to keep track of - to tell you the truth, I grew tired of the whole mess.

Sadly, I do not think that Anna's flashy burial marks the end of her increasingly bizarre story. As the custody battle for baby Dannielynn - who attended the funeral with her court-appointed guardian Richard Milstein - heats up, my guess is that things are going to get really ugly.

I hope that wherever she is now, Anna is resting peacefully, and not watching the spectacle that her "family" and "friends" are making of themselves, in her name. And by "spectacle," I mean, "shameless, gold-digging ASSES."

Rest in peace, Anna. You deserve it.
