Mobile phones being buried with the dead

Dead people in Slovakia are being buried with their mobile phones.

A mourner at the funeral of a 68-year-old man even interrupted the service to make a call to the mobile phone in his
deceased friend's pocket.

As the priest performed the funeral rites, the ringing tones of William Tell echoed around the church from within the casket.

Slovakians have been buried with an object of value for generations.

But Sona Blazejova from Marianum undertakers in Bratislava said: "They are being buried more and more with mobile
phones.

"Perhaps they think people will call from their eternal sleep. I don't know. It's very curious."

One funeral was halted at the graveside when a son asked to check the batteries of the cell phone he had placed in his
father's coffin.
