Being of Native American and Irish descent, I totally understand the stubborn part-my parents said my brother and I were always mule headed (that's another way of saying really really stubborn lol). Hadn't heard this story and got a good chuckle when you mentioned he was buried standing up so he could hurl epithets/curses/insults in the afterlife. My thinking is he has no worries, why carry a grudge to the afterlife? Surely he can transport everything safely without tossing insults to others in the afterlife.

Hey Whitdocs, if you're ever back in Vermont, there's a guy who was buried and had a window put on his grave so he could see out because he was terrified to be buried alive. The window peeps down to his body. You probably already knew about this but figured I would mention it.

Whiskey Pete, of Whiskey Pete's casino on the NV / CA border, asked to be buried standing up, holding a gas pump hose, with a bottle of whiskey at his feet, facing the road. When they built the freeway they dug up his coffin. When the crew heard that story, they loaded the coffin into a backhoe, drove it high up into the mountain range behind the casino, and reburied him, standing up, holding a gas pump hose, with the original bottle of whiskey at his feet, facing the casino. They added a fresh bottle of whiskey, minus the toast they all drank to him.
