Do you know anyone that was buried with their cue?

I'm starting to prepare for life-changing move and so was trying to figure out which cues I want to keep or sell but there's one I'm thinking about being buried with and it made me think: do you know of anyone who was buried with a cue?

Yes, 14.1 player Richard Riggie was buried with his Tim Scruggs cue. Richard was from Baltimore, and played in the 60s and 70s, possibly earlier.

All the best,
WW

Do it right. Go for the whole shebang like Walter Lindrum:

I loaned a cue to a guy so we could gamble and he buried me😐

No, but my favorite Uncle insisted that we spread his ashes on the finish line at the horse racing track he frequented and told us he would haunt us if we didn't....so there he lies.

There wouldn't be any room for me if I took all my cues with me

LOL, I don't have that problem, only a few extras.

Thanks all for the replies, looking forward to more.

Make the casket out of cues. That would be pretty cool. Surrounded by custom cues for eternity.

Can you write on the headstone: “I’d rather be buried with my cue than my wife”? Ha ha.

The Bailiff: "Your honor, the next case is Mrs. Irene Blanchard who is accused of beating her husband to death with one of his 873 pool cues."

His Honor: "How many innings?"

I heard she was acquitted because there was no unedited video.
