Beaten To DEATH By Your Own HEADSTONE!!!
February 7th 2008 23:55
Imagine how you would feel if people started calling you on the phone to find out whether or not you were dead or actually still alive!
This was the shock experienced by one 71 year old man by the name of Andy Lees in the UK recently.
On the advice of calls made to his house to determine his 'living and breathing status', he visited a cemetery in Blackburn to find that his headstone had indeed been erected with all his details on it except for an actual death date.
As it turns out, Mr Lees was given 6 months left to live by his doctors and so he set about planning and paying up front for his funeral and grave site so as not to burden his living relatives with the task.
The funeral company in their over-eagerness took it a step too far by having the grave plotted out and the headstone made up and installed in the cemetery. They have since apologised to Mr Lees for their stupendous oversight.
