Social Norms Six Feet Under

Kerry Howley | August 5, 2005

Late nudist Robert Norton just wanted to leave this life as bare-skinned he came into it, but his friends and family don't share his enthusiasm for the human form:

The 82-year-old said he wanted to be buried in his birthday suit -- but his family are having none of it.

His brothers have decided to lay him to rest in grey trousers and a shirt.

One of them, Jack, is a minister. "He's not going to be buried in the nude," he said...

Brenda Loete said she never spoke to Norton despite living next door to him for more than a decade.

"We didn't really know him. We just had him arrested," she said.

Whole thing here.
