Man Takes The Dirt Nap in Doctor Who's Tardis

DateWednesday, June 10, 2009 at 1:12AM
Proving that it does indeed take all kinds, 26-year-old Welshman Sebastian Neal had his final wishes honored this week, when the fan of Doctor Who was buried in a coffin modeled after the iconic Tardis from the series.

In addition to his custom casket, Neale's funeral also featured the Doctor Who theme instead of more traditional funeral music and mourners were greeted with a quote from the famed time traveling scientist: "I'm a time lord, I am not a human being. I walk in eternity."

The theme of the funeral was underscored by a line of dialogue from The Dalek Invasion of Earth:

"One day, I will come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine."

Well, good for him. Funerals are pretty tough for lots of friends and family members. At least Sebastian gave them something a little more light hearted and personalized. I'd go for a Hitchhiker's Guide theme myself, but I think too many people would fight over who gets to play Zaphod.

I want my cryo tank outfitted like a Borg regeneration alcove personally.
