Pool Table Casket

Wonder if there's a player out there that's laying in a cemetery SOMEwhere in the states (bet there is that had a casket with the top the exact dimensions of a real table. If it was me, with my ht. 6'6'', I'd find a couple bumper pool tables and Glue em to the top There cheap and Ya can find em in the dumpster at times I saw two cue sticks at two different funerals yrs ago, one inside the casket and the other that his family brought to display along with some of his lifes possessions.

Thx, but anyone here in the US that did something similar? I was at a funeral (seems to be more often as of late). One of his three sisters got up to speak about him and such. One of the things that stuck out was ''sis'' saying how George had very little respect for you if you didn't know how to play pool but just drank and banged balls. He was a plumber/Fisherman/liked pool & a Drunk who died early. I realized when she read that, it was the reason George & I had mutual respect. Georges weakness other than Liquor was women, he was married 5 times, that's pretty dam good for a drunk plumber. Boy we sure do meet some characters while in a pool room melting pot....but they make life FUN.

Bill, I think you might need a 6x12 snooker table.

My dear friend and partner Jim Daugherty (Sidespin Jim) was buried with his stick and a cube of chalk in the casket. I suspect many have done this.
