When sports teams have opening nights, or inaugural seasons, they always give things away. They like to get a good fan base and keep them coming back over and over again. I remember going to sporting events growing up and we would get cool things like hats, balls, bats, soccer balls, etc. It was so much fun and dad would always find other games so I could get free things.

Well a new team is coming to Grand Prairie and they want to get a huge fan base and they are giving away something I have never, ever seen given away before. The Grand Prairie AirHogs Baseball team is going to give away a funeral at it’s June 3rd game. Complete with a casket, headstone, services and a plot. You can be buried or cremated, your choice.

So if you live in the area and want to take a shot and winning your on funeral, good luck and don’t have a heart attack over winning it!!!

Here is a funny story that I have to mention some parts of.  A good friend of mine has a extremely distant family and recently he learned that his cousin had died from a drug overdose.  So he decided to head up to the funeral as it was his family but like I said very distant.  So we will skip the small things and move along to the funeral.  They had decided to have her cremated but wanted to have a service for her.  As they get to the gather place (not sure where they had it) my friend walks in and is floored by what happens next.

The husband of the deceased is wearing ragged jeans, a baseball hat and a t-shirt with a marijuana leaf on it.. (hmm how ironic, lets wear a marijuana shirt to a funeral of your wife who died from drug overdose, nice).  Then the daughter was carrying a cardboard box up to the front of this place and you hear a voice from the back of the room, “Ashley take your mom out of the god damn box”

Wow I’m surprised my friend made it through this one.  I would have been cracking up the entire time.  And you may not laugh like we did when we heard this in person, but I can only imagine being in this scenario listening to the talking and wearing drug related items to a drug overdose.
