or rather, that's what our loved one's put us in for our last journey.

And it's little facts like this that ruin the best laid plans of some criminals.

In Spain, a would-be burglar alerted neighbors to his presence when he broke into a funeral home and the police were called to investigate. In an effort to evade detection our criminal lay on a table in a glass fronted cabinet and pretended to be dead.

The police weren't fooled though, as a spokesman said, "The custom here is for dead people to be dressed in suits, in nice clothes that look presentable. This guy was in everyday clothes that were wrinkled and dirty."

Oh, and dead people don't breath either - our burglar forgot that little detail too.
