As only a legend would be, Popcorn Sutton was actually buried twice.
In a handwritten will, Popcorn was very clear about his burial. He stated: "That I get buried…beside My Dad Vader Sutton …haul me on the Back of A Pick up Truck to the Grave yard and get Drunker than Hell while they bury my Ass…I do not want No viewing or Preaching or Singing or nothing when they Bury me." Popcorn didn't even want a listing in the newspaper when he passed.
Popcorn also wrote: "Do Not Embalm me…If any visitors come to the Grave yard [name withheld] will run their ass off…if anyone Brings one damn flower to My Grave to Destroy it as Quick as it is Delivered."
Either way, months later, his wife Pam held a large public memorial service, which Hank Williams Jr. famously attended. Sutton's exhumed body was transported via horse-drawn carriage to his property in Parrotsville, Tenn., where he remains today.
Beside his grave is a marker that reads, "Popcorn said [f—] you."
To this day Popcorn's body is still buried in the side yard of his house in Parrotsville, Tennessee, where his widow can ensure no more "vandalism" will occur.
