The movie "Weekend At Bernie's" immediately came to mind when I just read this article on the Orlando Sentinel web site. In New York, two men were arrested after an attempt to push a dead man into a check cashing facility and cash in his $355 Social Security Check.
David J. Dalaia and James O'Hare, ages 65, were seen pushing the corpse of Virgilio Cintron, 66, in an office chair down a Manhatten street and stopped at a Pay-O-Matic check cashing service to cash in his Social Security payment.
The manager of the Pay-O-Matic knew Cintron and had asked to see him. As he inquired as to where Cintron was, a New York police officer noticed a crowd gathering around the seated corpse. As the officer called for assistance, Dalaia and O'Hare were attempting to push the body of Cintron into the Pay-O-Matic to show the manager that Cintron was with them.

Both Dalaia and O'Hare were arrested for check fraud charges. O'Hare shared an apartment with Cintron, who passed away in the apartment earlier in the day due to natural causes.
I know how morbid this sounds, but can you just imagine these two guys wheeling a corpse down the street in an office chair, and the head, arms, and legs are flopping all over the place. And what if a friend of yours just happens to walk by and sees what is going on. What are you going to say.
"We're taking him around the neighborhood one last time before his funeral."
When I should pass away, I hope that a friend or family member should properly take care of me. Knowing some of the friends that I have, they would probably dress me up in swim trunks, a Hawaiian style flowered shirt, sunglasses, and a Panama Jack hat. Then they would take me out to Cocoa Beach, and put me on a lounge chair with a beer bottle in my hand and a cigar stuck in my mouth and let some poor lifeguard find me.
And I would probably have a friend tell the lifeguard....
"He looks like his dear old self."
