Her last party: Miriam Burbank was full of life, and her unique funeral reflects that

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- With a case of Busch beer by her side, a menthol cigarette in her hand, and a disco ball flashing overhead -- Miriam Burbank attended her last party.

FOX6's sister station, WGNO in Louisiana Miriam Burbank's daughters, who call their mom "Mae Mae" said she was full of life -- and they wanted her funeral to reflect that.

They told the funeral home directors what their mom liked, and the funeral home came up with THIS.



Miriam Burbank sits at a table in a living room-type setting. The New Orleans Saints lover has her fingernails painted black and gold.

The woman's daughters say other family members seemed to enjoy this fitting goodbye.
