Unusual wake for Puerto Rican taxi driver

A PUERTO Rican taxi driver has been given the funeral he requested - with his corpse propped up behind the wheel "driving" his cab.

PUERTO Rican taxi driver Victor Perez Cardona's final fare was highly unusual: a wreath of flowers for his own funeral.

HONOURING his final request, the body of the 73-year-old, who died of cancer, was propped in the seat of his taxi cab, hands locked on the wheel, as if to drive himself to his funeral.
