I wonder what kind of reception they get underground.
I suppose there are lots of dead spots…
We placed my brother’s phone in his coffin^^
I’m sorry to hear that your brother passed away; I didn’t know. We left newspaper articles about the USS Constitution in my father’s coffin. However, his Navy friend wouldn’t let us leave his Navy ring on him when we buried him so we had to take it off and I ended up with it.
Legend has it (I could Google, but this is just a comment, so screw it) that Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science Church, was buried with a telephone in case she turned out not to be really dead, or in any case had a message she wanted to transmit from “the other side”.
I just googled this subject (before reading your post) and it has been ascertained that it was an urban legend.
Sad, isn’t it. All the best stories turn out to be urban legends.
