Tony Curtis was buried on Monday with a selection of his favourite possessions. Along with a Stetson hat, an Armani scarf, a copy of his favourite book (Anthony Adverse – which inspired his stage name), was his trusty iPhone. That got us wondering: what gadget would you take to your grave with you?

Appropriately, the reception after Tony Curtis’s funeral took place at the Egyptian-themed Luxor hotel in Las Vegas. Egyptian Pharaohs were buried with a collection of their worldly possessions (and often a few of their favourite slaves). Thankfully Curtis didn’t go that far but choosing to take his iPhone to the afterlife is the mark of a truly committed gadget lover.

After seeing Buried, I’d like to have a Maglite and an HTC Legend (appropriate name, see) with a couple of spare batteries popped in the coffin with me, just in case I’m not really dead after all.
