I hope my heirs take notes and design my sepulchre in a similar manner.

Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris has fenced off a famous tomb to prevent lewd acts being performed on a statue.

The effigy of 19th Century journalist known as Victor Noir has long been popular with women visitors. ...

Officials concerned about damage to the icon's groin area have erected a fence around the grave, and a sign prohibiting indecent rubbing. ...

The statue shows Noir in a frock coat and trousers lying flat on his back, with a distinct enlargement in the groin.

The effigy has been held as an aid to love or fertility.

It is said that a woman who kisses the lips of the prostrate statue and slips a flower into the upturned top hat will find a husband by the end of the year.

Anyways, who has to hump a dead guy's lawn ornament to get a date? Geesh.

Any dead guy's lawn ornament or dead Michael's lawn ornament?

But I could probably come up with a list off the top of my head.
