Fan Has “Doctor Who” Themed Funeral
Wales’ Sebastian Neale loved “Doctor Who.” How much you ask?
Enough to have a “Doctor Who” themed funeral. The 26-year old fan recently passed away. But instead of the standard funeral, Neale had a “Doctor Who” themed one, including having his casket look like the exterior of the Doctor’s TARDIS.
Attendees to the funeral were greeted by the a line from the fourth Doctor story, “Pyramids of Mars,” saying, “I’m a Time Lord, I walk in eternity.” And the usual comforting words from scripture were replaced with William Hartnell’s first Doctor speech from “Dalek Invasion of Earth” and later re-used in the prelude of “The Five Doctors,” saying, “Someday I shall come back, yes I shall come back. Until then there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.” (The original clip is include below)
Attendees also heard the famous “Doctor Who” theme played during the ceremony (no word yet on which version was used.)
Was the coffin bigger on the inside?

Did he remember his sonic screwdriver, in case he regenerates and needs to get out??
