There are plenty of different ways to mourn the ones you love when they're no longer with us.

Tuesday, I learned of a new way.

According to the New York Post, 31-year-old Henry Rosario Martinez passed away earlier this month from an overdose of alcohol and prescription medications in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico.

Martinez's father decided to embalm his son, dress him in poker gear and prop him up at a poker table so his "loved ones could see him doing what he loved one more time."

Jose Melendez, owner of Eterna Luz Funeral Services, admitted he's never done a job quite like this — but said it's not unusual for grieving loved ones to request an arrangement to show how the dearly departed lived.
