Puerto Rican gambler plays poker at own funeral
Henry Rosario Martinez passed away on January 19, but that fact didn't stop him from playing some more poker with his friends and family.
The 31-year old player passed away in his hometown, Barceloneta on January 19. Martinez was a big fan of gambling and his family decided that poker should be a part of his funeral.
The father, Jose Mendelez asked the funeral service company to prepare the corpse for a game of poker.
Eterna Luz, the embalmer said the following:
''This is the first time we were asked to prepare someone for a game of poker, but similar requests are not extraordinary, they are part of our countrys tradition.''
''Kinki'', a friend of the deceased made a video about the funeral:
After the game the friends and family brought Martinez to his final resting place.
