WAKEY-WAKEY: YOUR FUNERALS OVER Ghoulish student Zeng Jia baffled family and friends in central China by staging her own funeral while she’s still alive – because she wanted to enjoy it. Zeng, 22, spent a fortune on a full-blown service complete with mourners, flowers and photographers. And to make her ‘body’ look even more convincing, she hired a team of cosmetic artists who specialise in making the dead look more lifelike. “It struck me that people spend all that time and effort on someone when they are gone and they cannot appreciate it,” explained Zeng, from Wuhan, Hubei province. “I wanted to see what people would think of me so I decided to hold my funeral while I could enjoy it,” she added. After lying in state for an hour – complete with a Hello Kitty doll on her chest and origami doves hanging above her coffin – Zeng got up to join her own wake. “Experiencing death has made me appreciate life more keenly,” she said.
