In China, friends and family of the deceased may have to do without a special form of funereal entertainment: strippers.
No more pall dancers then....

    My aunty always said;

    "Don't put flowers on my grave, I'll have them now please".

    I'd say the same thing about strippers.

    The best funerals are the ones that are a celebration of life ...
    Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.

    I'm pretty sure it would be illegal in this country under various public order and indecency laws, funerals are open to anyone, including children.

    Nothing I'm aware of prevents the wake being at Spearmint Rhino.
