A 25-year-old woman, who was buried in a graveyard in the Russian city of Ufa, was given a bizarre tribute – a five-feet high tombstone in the shape of her favourite iPhone. When mourners turned up to mourn the passing away of Rita Shameeva, little did they know that the 25-year-old has been given a bizarre tribute in the graveyard of the oil-rich Russian city. It is believed that the tombstone, made from basalt in the shape of a black iPhone showing a picture of the woman, was installed by her grieving father Rais Shameev long after her death in January 2016. While the cause of Shameeva's death is not known and her father also did not comment on the unusual memorial, which is higher than other gravestones erected in the Yuzhnoye cemetery.
