1970 Janis Joplin's wake was held at the Lion's Share in San Anselmo, California. She had specifically left $2,500 in her will to throw a wake party in the event of her demise. The party was attended by her sister Laura and Joplin's close friends; brownies laced with hashish were unknowingly passed around to the guests. Joplin was cremated and her ashes were scattered from a plane into the Pacific Ocean and along Stinson Beach.
