A last wish denied

At the risk of making myself sound weird, I will admit that I read the obituaries almost daily. No idea why I started but finding creative ones like the obituary for Edward Younger III yesterday keeps me reading. His said:
Ed lost his life in the same manner in which he lived - eloquently, dignified, and amongst good company. Confronted by state law, his family could not fulfill his wish to mount a keg upon his coffin; nevertheless, a spirited celebration has been planned in his honor.
Ed, I'm sorry that not even a beer loving state like Wisconsin could honor your last request but I hope your friends have a good party in your honor. You sound like a man that knew how to get the most out of life.
