First things first: This was one packed coffin. To start with, Curtis was interred in some of his favorite clothing, including white shorts and sweater, an Armani scarf, and a Stetson hat under his arm. We know because his wife Jill shared a list of the items in her eulogy, saying of her late husband that "[t]he charming, handsome man you fell in love with on the screen was the real Tony," per the Daily Mail. And the real Tony was a sentimental guy. In a travel bag buried with him, his family included the expected (family photos, medals he won in the Navy, his grandson's baby shoes, a yarmulke) and the less expected (a model Trans-Am, sketch pads, paints and paintbrushes, sunglasses, his dog's ashes).
Lest you think the coffin is already sounding crowded, there's more, including stones he collected while traveling, several watches, a tablet of Percocet, a DVD of clips from his favorite movie (but no DVD player, we can't help but note), an eye mask for sleeping, his iPhone (which he reportedly called his "IV"), and seven packets of Splenda. Yep, the actor was known for sprinkling the artificial goodness on everything he ate. We got to admit, if you're going to go out, it sounds pretty reasonable to be as prepared as Tony Curtis. Just make sure to pick some strong pallbearers.
