En Espanol: A Puerto Rican man has been granted his wish to remain standing—even in death. A funeral home used a special embalming treatment to keep the corpse of 24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina standing upright for his three-day wake.

    There is a Columbian film that starred Flora Martínez called “Rosario Tijeras” …

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382271/

    She’s a very sexy hit woman for a drug cartel who likes nose-candy and sex.

    Anyhow, her equally busy hitman brother is killed and the family (I suppose for financial reasons … or perhaps cultural reasons) had him laid-out in his bed in his room in his street clothes.

    The distraught sister Rosario decides her brother needs a better send off, so she and his buddies take his body out ‘clubbing’ at the disco, sitting him across the table from them as they get drunk, dance, and hang all over his corpse weeping their good byes.

    I couldn’t find the clip of that in youtube, nor did I want to spend a long stretch of time doing so … but have at it … Here’s one clip you can go from and search along the right side for more selections:
