The last desire of many people also takes off. They want to get their funeral different. Some like to get their funeral done in a secret manner. Indian film stars Rajkumar and Devanand had done something similar. There has been a survey in Britain about this in which people have made some strange revelations of their last wish about the funeral. The wish of a person was that his body should be taken from parachute to the cemetery.

How to study
This unique survey was conducted on the last few recent funerals and mourning in the UK. In this, researchers revealed the growing trend of strange last wishes among the people. In the survey, 100 funeral directors and 1500 people who organized funeral during last year were included in the survey.

Desire to spread ashes in a favorite place
In Britain, where many people believe in Christianity, three fourth of these funerals were burnt, while only a quarter were buried. According to the survey, 51 percent of the burn people had the last wish that their ashes should be scattered at their favorite place. While 27 percent of the people wanted their ash to keep their family in the urn, 20 percent of the people were in favor of burying their ashes.

Strange wishes
Surprisingly, in 18 percent of the cases, the last wish of the dead relatives was not known. One person wanted that his body should not be identified with no clothes, while the other person wanted to throw his body in the garbage box and then pick up the garbage employees.

But many last wishes were also different. Of the people who burn, 2 percent of the people expressed their desire to use their ash tattoo or jewelery, then someone was going to scatter them in space. But the weirdest wish was a person who died last year, who said that his body should be brought down from a parachute in the cemetery.
