DAYTONA CUBS HAVE 'CUSTOM FUNERAL' GIVE AWAY PROMOTION
The Daytona Cubs of the Class-A Florida State League are giving away a custom funeral to a fan who wins an essay contest. Contestants simply have to describe their perfect burial services in two pages or less.
We had people who wanted to be buried with vats of beer," Papierniak said.
The contest runs through July 24 and will be judged by a four-person panel from the Cubs and Pinello Funeral Home.
Papierniak said the funeral with all the trimmings is currently valued at $5,000-$7,000. Even if the cost skyrockets, the prize has a lifetime warranty.
WTF? Giving away a "custom funeral" at a baseball game? Minor league promotions never cease to amaze me.
