This cluster explores the different ways in which people are remembered. From Michael Jackson's stadium funeral to bizarre and humorous headstones, there seem to be many different ways in which people like to celebrate the life of loved ones.
Implications - When people meet the end of their life, they want to go out with one more bang.
