[quote]The Richard III Society said the 7ft (2.1m) long limestone monument would blend modern and medieval style decorations to reflect the king's life.
The group was closely involved in the project to find the lost king's remains, which was confirmed last week.
Leicester Cathedral, where Richard is expected to be reinterred in 2014, said it would consider ideas but no decision had yet been made.

I know we have money problems but you can't bury him in a CGI coffin what are these people thinking I mean really it's not even well rendered he'd fall out.
how very pastiche
He should be put to rest in one of these bad boys:

Imagine (as a ghost obviously) just watching as your body lies in the ground whilst the humans around you for hundreds of years become more and more futuristic and scary, building mad guns and shit and then eventually losing all hope for humans....
...then one day you watch as they discover the remains of your body, and instead of burying your body in some futuristic pod where they experiment on your corpse for years to come, they place you in a well crafted tomb that looks just like it came from the era that you lived it.
imagine the comfort and happiness as you get all cosy in that motherfucker and feel as your body is beamed into the night sky and you vanish forever like a real ghost should
Give us a day off work in memory of our great king

I say we should send him to space, just to fuck with his ghostly little head.

From where would he fall out?

Didn't know there was such thing as a proper ghost.
it's rather heartwarming that after all this time we still have the respect to bury him decently

Well, he's a king.
I doubt a commoner from the same period would get the same level of respect. Probably would be dissected for anthropological study.

I cry evertim
When the ghost of King Richard is laid to rest, his usurper Henry 7th will be dragged away by those demons from the film ghost that dragged people away when they died.
Too ugly to be buried in one of these?

Just cremate him and spread the ashes across the car park.
Where have all the past kings been buried? Would sure be interesting to pay a visit
[QUOTE=Cypher_09;39574646]Where have all the past kings been buried? Would sure be interesting to pay a visit[/QUOTE]Up until the 18th century, most were buried in Westminster Abbey iirc.

Or just place his ash urn in the car park.
Then put safety cones around it so cars don't run over it.
And have a officer on guard 24/7
With a police horse
And a MP5.
You know, I don't think the things Lord Farquaad did make him worthy of having that tomb built.
Besides, 7ft is far too long.

Probably the funniest thing I'd seen in my life. I remember it well.
[editline]13th February 2013[/editline]
King Richard was king for two years, didn't have a legitimate claim to the throne, caused an uprising, and killed children.
Why on earth would we want to give him a special tomb? We ripped Jimmy Saviles out.
