Celebrities, their lives and even deaths, as we know, always attract attention. Some celebrities understand this and give special orders to hold a farewell ceremony, some don’t want to, forget or don’t think about it and don’t give orders. But in any case, voluntarily or secretly, they latest photos disperse among the people. Fans buy them as souvenirs, and someone in the photo of a celebrity in a coffin even does business.
The media is ready to do anything to get special photos - weddings, divorces and even funerals of celebrities.
Many celebrities are buried in open coffins so that fans can say goodbye to them. But even with this, some citizens make their own business - they publish photos without the consent of the relatives of the deceased and make copies of photos in coffins, selling them to fans.
After Elvis Presley's death, a photograph from his funeral appeared on the cover of the National Enquirer magazine. Ian Calder, then a newspaper editor, bribed Elvis' cousin, Bobby Mann, by paying him $18,000 to take the photo.
The photo was taken using a spy camera and is currently valued at $1 million.
A posthumous photo of Whitney Houston published by the National Enquirer outraged her relatives. They considered themselves insulted, because permission for publication was not given.
However, the publication did not say where the photo was obtained from. They also explained their action by saying that “Whitney is beautiful even in death.” The scandal did its job - the publication's circulation jumped sharply.
Even daughter Whitney, who left almost after her mother, was not left alone. Secret photo of her funeral sold for $100,000
After the death of the famous art artist Andy Warhol, he was photographed in his coffin cousin and put the photo up for sale for $900. By the way, the photo was quickly bought
Marilyn Monroe's body was not buried for several days - so many people came to honor her memory. She had to do post-mortem makeup, put on a wig and cover herself with a veil, because... her body was severely damaged during the autopsy
After the death of B.B. King, the question of whether to leave the coffin open was debated for a long time - the relatives were against it, the fans insisted. In the end, after lengthy negotiations, the coffin was opened
Despite the ban, the paparazzi photographed and posted online photos from Mikhail Zadornov’s funeral. Relatives are outraged
Vladimir Turchinsky was buried in closed coffin. And this is most likely connected with the enormous scandal of his photographs taken immediately after his death. got into the network
How exactly these photos taken by the police who arrived at the scene of death ended up on the Internet is still unknown, but it is blasphemy and mockery on the Internet photo of the dead man forced his family to refuse an open funeral.
Famous people do not always find peace right away. For example, the body of Abraham Lincoln was sent on a posthumous five-day “tour” so that everyone who wanted to could say goodbye to him
His body was viewed in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois before being buried.
As we all already know, using the example of the Leader of the world Proletariat, V.I. People love to look at Lenin famous person and after his death.
After his death, Joseph Stalin spent 8 years in the Mausoleum with Lenin, but in 1961 he was secretly taken out under the cover of darkness and later buried near the walls of the Kremlin
By the way, we are not alone in our desire
This is the Argentine leader Eva Peron, after her death the body was displayed general public almost 3 years, until the power changed and the new rulers buried it, not wanting to remember their predecessors.
The largest in the world is currently the Mausoleum of the head of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh. In August 1975, the body was placed in a mausoleum built by Moscow specialists in Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi.
Mao (China)
Over 30 years, 158 million people visited the mausoleum. In the first hall, guests are greeted by a huge statue of Mao from white marble. In the central one there is a burial chamber, where the mummified chairman rests in a crystal coffin, covered with a red banner.
Mausoleum of Pirogov (Ukraine)
The crypt with the mummy of the genius is located under the altar of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, in the Pirogov Estate Museum. A surgeon rests under glass in his uniform Privy Councilor. The tomb is not guarded temperature regime supported without special equipment - by the very layout of the tomb.
Mausoleum of Kim Jong Il in North Korea
People even go to the extreme level of obscenity - they take selfies with the dead. In 2015 in social network A group was formed on VKontakte that promised a cash prize for a photo with the deceased and photos poured in from all sides
And photo famous people, the memory of which will remain in the hearts of millions. Vladimir Vysotsky
Vladimir Mayakovsky
B. Yeltsin
Today, funerals take place under the flash of millions of cameras and television cameras. Online broadcasts are conducted and every step is described - from the funeral service to wreaths
What do you think - these photos are blasphemy or the last tribute to the memory of a person?
In this post I will tell you about the most mysterious deaths Russian celebrities who died under strange and inexplicable circumstances. I advise you to read it; further you will learn a lot of interesting information.
Vasily Shukshin
His Last year life was very successful... Sergei Bondarchuk offered Shukshin the role of Lopakhin in the film “They Fought for the Motherland.” Filming began in August 1974 on the Don. By the beginning of October, Shukshin had almost completely completed the role; he only had to star in the last episode. On October 4 he was supposed to return to Moscow...
On October 1, Shukshin felt well. He called home from the post office in Moscow, went to the bathhouse, and watched the USSR-Canada hockey match on TV until late at night with everyone else. At the end of it they separated. At about nine in the morning Burkov went out into the corridor with the intention of waking up Shukshin. He recalls: “I knocked on Shukshin’s door. The door was not locked. But I didn’t go in. I was scared of something. I called out to him. It was time for him to get up for filming. He didn’t answer. Well, I think, let him sleep...”
From Burkov’s recollections: “I walked down the corridor and ran into Gubenko. “Nikolai,” I asked, “look at Vasya, he’s going to be filming soon, but for some reason he’s not getting up.” He came in. He started shaking him by the shoulder, the hand seemed lifeless, he touched the pulse, but there was none. Shukshin died in his sleep. “From heart failure,” the doctors said."
There is a version that on that fateful night a murder occurred on the ship “Danube”. After all, Vasily Makarovich never complained about his heart. Before filming, Shukshin underwent examination at the “Kremlin hospital”. According to the testimony of some members of the film crew, a day or two before the actor’s death, a stranger appeared on the set where the film “They Fought for the Motherland” was filmed. And no one knew where he came from and for what purpose he hung around there. And he disappeared immediately after the death of Vasily Makarovich.
Zoya Fedorova
On December 11, 1981, 71-year-old actress Zoya Fedorova was shot in the back of the head in her three-room apartment No. 243, building 4/2 on Kutuzovsky Prospekt. The murder has still not been solved. Among his possible motives are the actress’s alleged involvement in secret KGB operations (there were rumors about the KGB’s involvement in the murder) and her connection with the so-called “diamond mafia,” which consisted mainly of relatives of high-ranking Soviet officials and was engaged in the purchase and resale of jewelry and antiques.
Victor Tsoi
On August 15, 1990, at 12:15 p.m., on the 35th km of the Soka-Talsi highway (Latvia), a dark blue Moskvich-2141 car collided with an Ikarus-280 regular bus. The driver of the Moskvich was the famous musician, leader of the Kino group Viktor Tsoi.
Official version: “the car was moving along the highway at a speed of at least 130 km/h, the driver Viktor Robertovich Tsoi lost control. V.R. Tsoi’s death occurred instantly...”
From the case materials:
"Ikarus-250" drifted off the road into the small river Teitupe, behind the bridge... The driver J. K. Fibiks, who works at the Tallinn branch of Latselkhoztehnika, escaped with minor bruises and fright. Before that, he took a tourist group to the airport and was returning back.
The new "Moskvich-2141" Y6832 MM was thrown 18 meters towards the bridge by a powerful blow. Only the rear bumper remained intact. Upon examination, it is noticeable that the impact on the car occurred from left to right, front to back. Apparently, the front bumper of the Ikarus went over the hood of the Moskvich straight into the cabin. The steering wheel is bent on the driver's side, the seats are knocked down, and the front panel is broken. The hood flew off, everything else was crushed."
A forensic medical examination showed that no alcohol was found in the blood of the deceased. Death occurred as a result of an accident from multiple injuries to the body. A criminal case was not initiated “due to the lack of corpus delicti in the actions of the drivers.” And, therefore, forensic, investigative and other examinations were not carried out.
Mike Naumenko
In August 1991, Mike Naumenko, the leader of the Zoo group, was found dead in his room in a communal apartment on Razyezzhaya Street: the cause of his death was a fracture of the base of the skull. Doctors determined that death occurred on August 27, 1991 from a cerebral hemorrhage.
The circumstances of his death remain largely mysterious. As rock journalist N. Kharitonov wrote: “With Tsoi, at least, everything was clear - if not in essence, then in form - how it all happened. Mike... simply disappeared, leaving no traces.”
The drummer of the Zoo group, Valery Kirilov, expressed a different point of view: according to him, Mike Naumenko really died from a cerebral hemorrhage, but it did not occur due to natural causes, but due to a fracture of the base of the skull as a result of a brutal blow dealt to him in the yard in time of robbery. This is evidenced by the loss of Mike Naumenko’s personal belongings.
There is also testimony from one teenager who allegedly saw Mike being lifted from the ground in the yard. After the attack, Mike did not die on the spot, but managed to go to his home, but there he completely weakened and lay unconscious for a long time, unnoticed by anyone in the communal apartment. When his loved ones finally found him and called an ambulance, it was already too late.
Alexey Rybin, producer of the album of songs by Mike Naumenko “Park of the MIKE period,” had his own version: “Alcohol is to blame, of course. The night before his death, Vasin drank heavily. Mike was bad, in a very serious condition, with a black face. "In this state, falling with the back of your head on the asphalt is easier than a lung. Mike received a fracture of the base of the skull - a typical alcoholic death, when a person in a deep intoxication falls on his back."
Igor Talkov
Igor Talkov was killed on October 6, 1991. It all happened in the St. Petersburg Yubileiny Sports Palace: the singer was shot right outside the dressing room as a result of a brawl with his concert director Valery Shlyafman and Igor Malakhov. The second possible suspect in the singer’s murder, Shlyafman, now lives in Israel. The criminal investigation into Talkov’s death was suspended several years ago, but was not closed.
During the investigation into Talkov's murder, his administrator Valery Shlyafman became one of the main suspects along with Aziza's bodyguard Igor Malakhov, who started the shootout on October 6, 1991. After a series of examinations, the investigation came to the conclusion that the last, fatal shot was fired from Shlyafman’s pistol.
The funeral of the legendary musician, who died at the peak of his fame, was crowded. The burial site is to this day a place of pilgrimage for connoisseurs of his work, and much mystical is associated with the grave itself, as with Talkov’s life.
Igor Sorin
According to the official version, Igor Sorin, the ex-soloist of the group "Ivanushki-International", jumped from the sixth floor balcony of the Cosmos studio. At 7.10 am Igor was taken to the 71st city hospital. Doctors found a fracture of the first and fifth cervical vertebrae, bruised kidneys, complete paralysis of the lower body, and partial paralysis of the arms. The decision was made to operate. The operation was successful, but the artist’s heart could not stand it, and on September 4, the artist died.
Meanwhile, in July 2013, Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov told in an interview with Evgeny Dodolev (Moscow-24 channel) that in fact there was a manslaughter: Igor’s neck was accidentally broken and then thrown out of the window to hide the circumstances of his death . Grigoriev-Apollonov clarified that he visited Sorin in the hospital - he was still conscious. “He had no bruises. Will you fall from the seventh floor without bruises?” continued “red-haired Ivanushka.” “Some karateka just broke his neck.” In this regard, on August 29, 2013, State Duma deputy Nadezhda Shkolkina sent a request to the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yu. Chaika with a request to conduct an investigation into the circumstances of the death former soloist group "Ivanushki - International" by Igor Sorin.
Mikhail Krug
On the night of June 30 to July 1, 2002, Krug’s house in the village of Mamulino (Tver microdistrict) was attacked. In addition to the singer, there were four more people in the house - his wife, mother-in-law and children. The door of the three-story house was open.
Two unknown intruders entered the third floor of the house approximately between 23:00 and 0:15, where they found Krug's mother-in-law and attacked her, causing her bodily harm. Mikhail Krug and his wife Irina came running to the woman’s screams. The criminals opened fire with pistols. Irina managed to hide with her neighbors, and Mikhail received two severe gunshot wounds, after which he lost consciousness for a while. The criminals fled the crime scene. Having come to his senses, Krug managed to get to the house of neighbor Vadim Rusakov, where his wife was hiding. Rusakov took him to Tver City Hospital No. 6. Meanwhile, the police and ambulance were called and found his wounded mother-in-law in Krug’s house. The children of the Circle were not harmed, as they were sleeping when the crime was committed. Mikhail Krug himself, despite the efforts of doctors, died on the morning of July 1.
The farewell funeral service took place on July 3 at 10 a.m. at the Tver Drama Theater. The funeral was attended by Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Alexander Semchev, Efrem Amiramov, Katya Ogonyok, the Zhemchuzhny brothers, Vika Tsyganova, many leaders of the Tver region, including its governor, Vladimir Platov. Funeral procession of cars stretched for several kilometers. After the funeral service in the Resurrection Cathedral in Tver, Krug was buried in the Dmitrovo-Cherkassky cemetery.
Various versions of the murder were built. For example, producer Vadim Tsyganov suggested that this could be an attempted robbery. Shortly before the murder, Krug recorded an album under the working title “Tverichanka” (later released under the name “Confession”), for which he was supposed to receive a fee any day. This version was rejected by those who believed that Krug was sincerely respected in criminal circles, but it was this version that was the most popular at the beginning of the investigation. According to another version, Krug became the victim of a planned, and possibly contracted, murder.
Murat Nasyrov
According to the official version, Murat Nasyrov committed suicide. The prosecutor's office completed the investigation into the singer's death and, having found no evidence confirming the violent nature of his death, closed the case. On January 19, 2007, the singer jumped from the fifth floor, wearing a camera around his neck and clutching his own portrait to his chest.
The singer’s relatives stated: “For us, Murat’s death is still a mystery. But we know for sure: he definitely did not intend to die. But they could have pushed him to this!...
“Murat could have been poisoned,” says the singer’s brother. - This is our family's assumption. Three hours before the incident, he was sitting in a group, everyone was drinking a cocktail. Murat also drank. Then he left, and the girl Kristina from the company felt bad after the cocktail, she doesn’t even remember what happened to her next... And Murat came home...
From his brother’s story: “They show that Murat called Baglan Sadvakasov’s close friend from home: “Zhanna, everything is fine.” Do you know that he called from Natasha’s cell phone (the singer’s wife - approx.), which was at home? And Natasha herself was not at home When those events happened to Murat that he allegedly had an attack and wanted to commit suicide, they said that his daughter allegedly sent a message to her mother on her cell phone, but it turns out that she had a cell phone at home!”
“He was going to go somewhere. What happened, why did he dress so nicely? And then, where is that camera they are all talking about?.. And then the fact itself: who saw that Murat fell from the window? The real reason hard to find out. Murat took everything with him. But I am convinced: there was no suicide or accident."
Roman Trakhtenberg
The death of the famous showman, successful television and radio host Roman Trakhtenberg struck all his colleagues, close friends and the public. Roman Trakhtenberg was 41 years old, he said about himself that he had never been sick. On November 20, 2009, during a live broadcast of the “Trakhty-Bakhty” program on Mayak, he suddenly became ill. His co-host Lena Batinova recalls: “When some song was on air, Roma said: “Batinova, I feel bad...” I took him to the window so that he could breathe fresh air. The editors called an ambulance, but it never managed to take Roma to the hospital.”
According to the official conclusion of specialists, Trachtenberg died due to acute cardiovascular failure and coronary heart disease, and he also had liver problems. Experts explained that the causes of death were obvious: Trachtenberg had a weak heart. An average dose of alcohol was found in Roman’s blood; there were no traces of drugs.
Before his death, Roman often spoke on air about constant dreams in which he invariably died. Literally a few hours before the tragedy in his last live he pathetically noted: “I want to die on stage...”.
Vladimir Turchinsky
Vladimir Turchinsky died on December 16, 2009 in his country house in the village of Pashukovo, Noginsk district. According to experts, Turchinsky’s death was due to acute coronary insufficiency. Upon the death of Vladimir Turchinsky, investigators checked the medical institutions where he was observed for the last six months of his life. One of the clinics that was checked first was a hospital in the Begovaya area, where Dynamite performed a blood purification procedure.
His friends said: “Volodya was supposed to stay in the clinic for 24 hours after the transfusion, but instead he immediately went home to spend the night. And the cardiac arrest began in a dream: if it had happened during the day or in the hospital, the person could still have been saved. he was mad... All because of this rejuvenation"
Vladislav Galkin
On February 27, 2010, at about 14:00, Vladislav Galkin was found dead in a Moscow apartment. The day before, the actor’s father sounded the alarm, telling a family friend that Vladislav had not been in touch for more than a day. Friends arrived at the actor’s apartment, but no one answered the doorbell. The rescue team was called and opened the apartment door at 14:07. According to varying reports, the actor’s body was found in bed, or on the floor, he was lying face down.
During the initial external examination of the body, no signs of violent death were found. An examination showed that the actor died approximately two to three days before the discovery of the body, and the cause of death was named acute heart failure with cardiac arrest. The death certificate lists the cause as “cardiomyopathy (sudden cardiac arrest).”
In the program “Man and the Law,” Vladislav Galkin’s father, actor Boris Galkin, provided facts on the basis of which one can make an assumption about deliberate murder. So, on February 19, Vladislav Galkin withdrew $136,000 from the bank, which he intended to spend on renovations in an apartment purchased after separating from his wife. According to his father, the actor kept money at home (which the alleged customers and perpetrators of the crime might have known about); in addition, SMS messages containing threats were sent to Galkin Jr.’s phone, and a few days after the visit to the bank, bruises appeared on the actor’s face.
According to Boris Galkin, abrasions and bruises were visible on the body of the already dead actor and during the initial medical examination immediately after the discovery of the corpse. The amount indicated by Galkin Sr. was not found during the search of the apartment. The father was also embarrassed by the presence of a bottle of cognac and a packet of tomato juice in the room next to the body: after Vladislav was diagnosed with pancreatitis, he stopped drinking alcohol and went on a diet. Boris Galkin’s version is also supported by a family friend, doctor Mikhail Zakharov, who suggests that the characteristic bruises and hemorrhage indicate death as a result of strangulation
Alexander Belyavsky

Celebrities and oligarchs prefer to meet death in style: preferably in the same way as the best moments of life were lived. Relatives of wealthy people spend millions to ensure that the deceased's final appearance in public takes place. top level. Organizing a pompous farewell often costs much more than any “Great Gatsby” party. SUPER found out how much they cost strong of the world this place in the churchyard next to folk artists, “six hundredth” coffins with safe locks, Tom Ford funeral suits and other expenses in the name of a magnificent end. Excerpt from the series "Sex and the City"
Place in the cemetery
The first thing that oligarchs stand in a long line for during their lifetime is a place in the cemetery. According to the letter of the law, places in the graveyard are given free of charge, but such “gifts” from the state are located far from the prestigious areas of Moscow. While still in health, many oligarchs take care of a place in the so-called elite cemeteries: Vagankovsky, Novodevichy, Troekurovsky. At the latter, by the way, politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky bought himself a seat for 2 million rubles. A place on the Kalitnikovsky churchyard, in the center of Moscow, can be bought for the same 2 million rubles, but it is worth noting that together with three square meters you will receive the bones of a previously deceased person resting in this place. Many relatives of the deceased, over whom tears were shed decades ago, are selling the graves of their loved ones, offering to bury them directly over the remains. So, for 1 million 300 thousand rubles you can get a place next to a famous crime boss Jap, who rests in the Vagankovsky churchyard. 
"Six hundredth" coffin
Another impressive expenditure for the sake of an epic farewell is the so-called six hundredth coffin. For true patriots In Russia, the market for elite funeral services offers the “Patriot” model with the embroidered coat of arms of Russia on inside coffin, its price - 220 000
rubles However, there are also more representative and multifunctional options, for example, the coffin of the American brand BATSVILLE CASKET made of solid cherry. There are two elevators inside to raise the head and lower the legs of the deceased. However, its main advantage is the safe lock, which is necessary to protect the deceased from looters. This often happens when a corpse is buried wearing precious jewelry. The price for a reliable “rest box” reaches half a million rubles 
Hearse
The minds of relatives of the rich simply cannot comprehend the fact that the last car of the deceased, who during his lifetime was accustomed to the smooth movement of a Rolls-Royce, may turn out to be a domestic Gazelle or a budget FORD. Behind 4500
rubles per hour, a Mercedes-Benz hearse with neon lighting along the compartment for the coffin will be provided. By the way, politician Boris Nemtsov made his last trip in such a car. 
Urn for ashes
IN Lately Russian crematoriums have no end to their customers: more and more people want to rest in an urn on the fireplace. Quite a few followers new trend and among wealthy people: this is how they disposed of the body of the deceased stepson of Sergei Bezrukov. WITH the ballerina Maya Plisetskaya, who recently passed away, also did not want to feed the worm and bequeathed her ashes to be scattered over Russia. However, not everyone wants to end up in dirty gutter near the car wash. However, to store the oligarch’s ashes in an ordinary urn, his relatives have too much imagination, and most importantly, money. When looking into the house of a cremated deceased rich man, be careful with vases: they may contain former owner Houses. Hermes and Versace vases, popular for storing remains, are on the shelves of luxury boutiques with price tags. 40 000 — 150 000 rubles These will help prevent the deceased from entering the food chain.
Stylist for the deceased
According to many oligarchs, guests who come to say goodbye to the coffin should certainly be seized with envy at the sight of the deceased’s outfit. Fashion editors of glossy publications make good money from this by dressing lifeless bodies. For selecting an outfit for a client who is always dead, stylists charge about 50 000
rubles The standard Tom Ford suit for such events costs 300 000
rubles often become a man’s last attire. For a deceased fashionista, stylists often choose a small black dress Chanel. The price for such panache can reach 200 000
rubles 
Makeup artist for the dead
Relatives of wealthy deceased people worry about make-up just as much as dressing, especially if the hearse passenger is a woman. The services of the mortuary's full-time makeup artists do not always satisfy loved ones, and therefore they involve famous make-up artists in their work. You will have to pay several times more for a service for a deceased person than for a living person. By the way, the author of Lyudmila Gurchenko’s posthumous makeup was her longtime friend and stylist Aslan Akhmadov. The singer bequeathed that it was he who painted her in last way. Akhmadov’s work was then appreciated by the entire show business, which said goodbye to the artist. The deceased even appeared on the cover of one of the glossy magazines in this form. In the case of society lady Yana Prezhevskaya, her Rublev friends, on the contrary, secretly expressed indignation that the woman was disfigured by inept makeup. 
Dress code and seating at funerals
The aesthetics of a funeral largely depends on the dress code of the guests. As a rule, black is the dominant color at mourning events. It is considered bad manners to come in light clothes; even in winter, women are not recommended to wear beige fur coats. Also, ladies should give up heels so that their clicking does not disturb the grave silence of the funeral. It is especially important not to appear in church in high heels during the funeral service, when parishioners are concentrated on prayer. A brilliant example of a stylish farewell is the funeral service of designer Yves Saint Laurent. The couturier's famous friends spent a lot of time in front of the wardrobe on the day of the funeral. They came to say goodbye to him in 2008 Chief Editor American Vogue Anna Wintour, actress Catherine Deneuve, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni. When a farewell takes on such a scale, care should be taken about the seating arrangement: under no circumstances should the legal widow or the young mistress of the buried person be nearby. You should also provide pleasant company to the celebrity guests: there are many who want to cry on a celebrity’s shoulder, but you need to choose the most worthy of all the candidates. An example of the right strategy is shown in the TV series Sex and the City. 
Elite wreaths
Flower shops offer a variety of luxurious arrangements for funerals - an excellent alternative to carnations, which are popular at funeral events. The relatives of the deceased and his friends try to outdo each other and lay out the composition as luxuriously as possible. Flowers are a kind of last gift to the deceased, so wealthy friends do not count the contents of their wallet before choosing a flower compoposition. Such a sign of attention will cost 25 000 — 45 000 rubles
VIP movers
Loaders are people who are next to the deceased in the most heartbreaking moments, when the coffin is carried to the hearse, then to the grave, and tears flow synchronously down the cheeks of loved ones. To make them appearance not inferior to the image of the bohemians gathered at the elite funeral, the relatives of the deceased order the services of VIP movers. The difference between ordinary porters and elite ones lies in their appearance: for an additional fee, people receive porters in suits and the VIP prefix to the name of the service. Four guys will have to pay 14 000
rubles, however, as a rule, six to eight people carry the coffin, especially when it comes to expensive boxes. 
Orchestra
It is no secret that not only friends and relatives of the deceased appear at the funeral, but also many ill-wishers who, for the sake of decency, see him off on his last journey. A ritual orchestra will help squeeze a stingy tear out of such characters: even the worst enemy will secretly cry to their music. The performance of tragic melodies will cost 30 000
rubles In addition, some orchestras offer to play the deceased’s favorite songs with lyrical and tragic arrangements. Such musicians are capable of turning even Philip Kirkorov’s song “My Bunny” into a funeral march. 
Ritual elevator
For the sake of aesthetics, wealthy people are required to order a ritual elevator for funerals. This device allows you to lower the coffin into the grave without the help of loaders smoothly and by pressing just one button on the remote control. This is not only a way to brighten up last seconds deceased in this world, but also to be calm that the coffin will not fall from the hands of the loaders at the most crucial moment. The peace of mind of relatives of the funeral service agency is assessed at 60 000
rubles 
Restaurant for funerals
Think about luxurious parties, holidays best resorts, generous gestures and other pleasant moments once spent with the deceased, friends and relatives gather over a glass or two at the memorial feast. Such wealthy people spend their evenings in already favorite restaurants, renting banquet halls or entire establishments so that the tone of the event is not disturbed by cheerful visitors. As a rule, the funeral table contains dishes that the deceased loved during his lifetime, and oligarchs, as we know, have predictable tastes: oysters, black caviar and foie gras often make up the funeral menu. Such a banquet will cost 10 000 — 20 000 rubles per person.
