Wrigley field!!! or at least to a cemetery modeled to look like wrigley field! make mine a home run, bitches!
Cubs fans hoping for a World Series title before they die at least can be buried in a place that looks like Wrigley Field when they do.
Ground-breaking for "Beyond the Vines," an internment area that will be built to look something like the ballpark's ivy-covered brick center field wall, is scheduled for Friday morning at Bohemian National Cemetery on Chicago's Northwest Side, said Dennis Mascari, who purchased the plots to carry out the concept.
Mascari said several people already have contacted him about placing their loved ones in urns in what he calls the "eternal skyboxes" that will be available at the cemetery, 5255 N. Pulaski Rd.
"I'm trying to help with the bereavement process, because going through a cemetery—cemeteries are beautiful, but they're still kind of gloomy," Mascari said. "I'm trying to change that process."
The memorial wall, which will stand about 14 feet high and 35 feet long, will have a stained glass window meant to recall Wrigley's green scoreboard. There will be room for about 280 urns, and Mascari said he hopes to expand with an entire outfield if all goes well with center field.
The home run burial option will cost up to $5,000, Mascari said, with the single, double and triple options going for less.
