Commercialism has taken the next step: your death. The hot new funeral trend is to bury a loved one with their cell phone and then call it as soon as they go underground. Probably to leave an awkward, “Ummmmm where are youuuuuu?” voicemail.

“It seems that everyone under 40 who dies takes their cell phone with them,” says Noelle Potvin, family service counselor for Hollywood Forever, a funeral home and cemetery in Hollywood, Calif. “It’s a trend with BlackBerrys, too. We even had one guy who was buried with his Game Boy.”
