Man has picture of two loves in life on gravestone

Boozer Petra Dumitru's spirit is living on after his death - with a bizarre headstone picture showing him swigging from his favourite tipple.

Petra, who died aged 75 in Iasi, Romania, made sure relatives carried out his wishes by telling them exactly what he wanted on his grave.



Brother-in-law Stefan Toma said "He told us he wanted people to be reminded of the two great loves in his life. Good wine and his wife. We thought that a picture would do that best although I admit his wife doesn't look that happy about him drinking on the picture."

Church officials have complained about the headstone saying it is "undignified" to show a man drinking on his own grave.
