April 11 — Legendary actor and former NRA president Charlton Heston, who died late Saturday at age 84, was remembered Thursday at a moving funeral service in Hollywood. He was then cremated, turned into popular food product Soylent Green, and served at the wake.
“It was a perfect tribute to an amazing man,” said Heston friend Alexander Germaine. “An amazing, surprising delicious man.”
Heston, who starred in the 1973 dystopian science fiction movie “Soylent Green,” about a future world where food is scarce and people are turned into a nutritious green wafer, had a stipulation put in his will in 2006 that his remains be processed and served to his friends and family.
The “Planet of the Apes” and “Omega Man” star, who announced he was suffering from Alzheimer’s in 2002, also had written into his will separate contingencies for if he died at the hands of human-sized, talking chimpanzees, or fell victim to hordes of light-sensitive albino mutants.
The funeral got off to delayed start, due to difficulty in the morgue, said coroner Bob Schneider.
“We had some trouble prying a rifle from Mr. Heston’s cold, dead hands,” Schneider said.
ha ha, too soon?
I think your article and comments are disrepectful and tasteless. Show some respect for a great actor and a man with values.
could you put a write up on Mr. Heston on line. WHERE BORN, ETC
I tend to agree with Timothy Barry…..I don’t find this remotely amusing. You’re supposed to respect the dead, not make jokes about their passing. IMO, I think it’s sick and distasteful. (no pun intended, as I don’t joke about someone’s passing) This man was a legend that deserves more respect than this.
I find this amusing, disrespectful, and appropriate.
