Haunting Photos Of Celebrities Who Had Open Casket Funerals

GG Allin

Punk musician GG Allin explored many taboo subjects in his music as well as in his performances which often included self-mutilation and other controversial acts. His antics sometimes got him arrested. Allin also once claimed that if he were not a musician he would probably be a serial killer or murderer. For several years before his death he said that he would kill himself while onstage, however, he ended up dying backstage from an accidental heroin overdose. Per his wishes, his body was unpreserved and put on display during the open casket funeral. He also wore his typical outfit of a black leather jacket and jock strap. Accompanying him in his final rest was a bottle of Jim Beam, and his friends also placed drugs and booze into his mouth throughout the funeral.
