@nbcsouthflorida: Forget the traditional funeral… In Puerto Rico, some families are choosing a very different way to say goodbye. From playing pool to doing what they loved most, the deceased are embalmed and displayed as if they're still enjoying their favorite activities. A final goodbye unlike anything you've seen before. Would you want to be remembered this way? #funeral #puertorico #pool

Is not something common in Puerto Rico or a tradition.

As a fellow Puerto Rican, I can assure you that if my family ever does this, the haunting will be hereditary. 😂💀
