Chochueca

A famous local eccentric in the Dominican Republic known for crashing the wakes of total strangers. He demanded the best food and refused to leave until he was given the clothes of the deceased. Chochueca also frequently snuck into the Maximo Gomez cemetery to steal funeral wreaths, resulting in him being kicked out by staff on numerous occasions. He was a well-known street figure from the 1970s onward. (The Maximo Gomez cemetery is a prominent graveyard in Santo Domingo).
