Frank Thompson, the head of a large Romani family with a nomadic lifestyle in England, was sent off on his final journey with a grand ceremony.
GRAND FAREWELL TO THE HEAD OF THE NOMADIC FAMILY
For Thompson, who passed away at the age of 69 due to a chest infection, his family organized a large funeral event that included a week-long farewell tour and took place in a solid gold coffin.
BURIED IN A SOLID GOLD COFFIN COSTING "SIX FIGURES"
According to close friends of the family, Frank Thompson's funeral was held in a solid gold coffin that was specially brought in from abroad. Although the exact cost was not disclosed, it was stated that the coffin, which is said to be "six figures," took weeks to bring into the country, so the funeral could only take place about a month after his death.
A WEEK-LONG FAREWELL TOUR IN A ROLLS-ROYCE
Before being laid to rest, Thompson's lifeless body traveled for a while. The golden coffin was taken on a week-long farewell tour that included his workplaces in Nottingham and Manchester, asphalt fields, and the areas where his loved ones' graves are located, all in a Rolls-Royce.
ENORMOUS GRAVESTONE TO BE BUILT IN 1 YEAR
Additionally, it was reported that a massive marble gravestone, which will take about a year to construct, will be made for Frank Thompson in a cemetery south of London.
THE MOTIVATION BEHIND IT IS SIMPLE: HE WAS THE KING OF OUR FAMILY
A family friend of Thompson explained the motivation behind this extravagant farewell with the following words: "We wanted to show the world that there was indeed a very good nomadic Romani. Frank was the king of our family, and everyone respected him greatly."
