Sometimes death is a laughing matter.

The award for the most creative obituary of the week goes to the late Jack Copeland who passed away this week.

I think the online version may actually be chopped down from the way it appeared in print. My favorite part of the obit is Mr. Copeland's personal request for how mourners should attend the services.

Jack would love for you to attend the burial in an all black costume, accompanied by a black umbrella prop.

I bet he was someone who didn't take life too seriously.
