SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- A funeral home in Puerto Rico that made international headlines two years ago is at it again after they recently displayed a man's body on a motorcycle instead of inside a traditional casket.
Marin Funeral Home embalmed the body of a young man and put the corpse atop a motorcycle in a hunched-over racing position.
The man's body was dressed in a long-sleeved black T-shirt, black sunglasses and a black cap.
Family members say they chose the motorcycle because it was his hobby.
The unidentified 22-year-old was shot to death, according to local television station WAPA.
He was buried on Wednesday.
Two years ago, the same funeral home embalmed a 24-year-old man and kept his body standing upright for during a three-day wake.
Theo Hovey of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery told KTLA that most morticians would not position a body with its head facing downward because fluids could leak out.
