Shelvy Neal, an 80-year-old woman from Georgia, recently celebrated her milestone birthday in an unconventional manner by hosting her own funeral. This distinctive event, playfully named the "FOMO Funeral," was organized after Neal expressed a desire to be present for her own memorial.

The festivities included a specially designed cake that wished her a happy 80th birthday against a backdrop of heaven's pearly gates, emphasizing her determination not to miss out on any experience, particularly her own funeral.
