To respect the last wishes of a Salvadoran man, his family organized a funeral for him in a nightclub with dancing around the coffin.
As the New York Post reported, a bizarre funeral took place in the town of Union earlier this month.
Katerin Mercedes Bernal told her father Darwin Bernal: “He told us he wanted his funeral in a disco, and that’s exactly what happened.” Friends and family gathered at the El Pacifico Night Bar in La Union, El Salvador on November 5th , to celebrate and remember Bernal. pic.twitter.com/Urd2gbVA2u

The late Darwin Bernal, who enjoyed partying and dancing during his lifetime, asked his loved ones to organize a celebratory wake with Latin music after his death.
“Before he died, he told us that his funeral was going to be in a nightclub and that’s exactly what happened,” the deceased’s daughter told local media.
A video of this funeral broadcast on social networks divided Internet users: some found the ceremony inappropriate, while others confirmed the family’s decision.
“What a wonderful family, they granted his last wish,” said one netizen, while another praised the family for granting the deceased his last wish.
