Woman Says She Can Show Up To Your Funeral If You Pay Her $50, People Start Sending Her Money
We are all aware that funerals are no fun deal. It’s either heartbreaking experiencing a loved one’s passing and the whole ordeal is nothing but a cruel reminder of their loss. Either that or the awkward feeling of being stuck at a funeral of some distant relative that you’ve never even seen before. However, if there’s one place where funerals can sometimes be cool, it’s movies.
Either while faking their death or trying to hide away their double life, movie characters tend to have dramatic funeral moments. Perhaps inspired by that a 26-year-old author Dana Schwartz proposed her new job prospect in a series of tweets that have since gone viral. While, surely, it was quite a weird offer, no one can deny that Schwartz came up with something very interesting.

Very funny. I would personally like someone to walk up to my casket and fire 6 shots right through it just to "make sure I'm dead this time". Even funnier if they stop to reload and fire off another lot.

And one more after a pause for a good measure. LOL

I once met a woman at an antique shop, she bought a huge dramatic top hat embellished with a stuffed RAVEN and layers of nets and laces. She wore it, looked at me and said "I will wear this to my husband's funeral when he kicks the bucket". I greatly desire to see that funeral.

A few years ago I went past a cemetery on a tram, it was raining and there was a funeral happening. Apart from the priest there was one elderly man attending, who was crying. So I got off the tram and went and stood next to him. He just held my hand and I nodded and stood firm for him. Was his wife, he knew I didn't know either of them but he thanked me for getting off the tram that day. I asked her name and told him I'd plant a tree in her honour. I was homeless at the time, staying in a refuge for women. We planted a big rubber tree in the yard and I wrote their names on the trunk with a sharpie. RIP Marjory. Gone but never forgotten ...

Why only funerals. You could really liven up a wedding. Bride: I'm so in love with Tom. You: (Cocking eyebrow, removing cigarette holder, blowing smoke). Is that the name he's going by now?

I'd pay more if you'd drink a glass of champagne and announce you'll always remember Paris. Then everyone would be wondering when the hell I was in Paris.

I like the idea, but it won' t work, my wife and children know too good my strange sense of humor, so the best result would be a "nice try, old man..."

When my brother passed, my dad's girlfriend's much younger sister came and was so overcome by emotion that she was crying hysterically and caused a huge scene. Her only daughter had passed a month earlier and was reminded of that. Days later, people were asking me about her, some thought it was a mistress since no one had ever seen her before!!!

When I was a child I heard that the vikings made beer pints from the skulls of their enemies so I was very disappointed at a museum exhibit about vikings that there was not any of those skull pints. So for many years I wished that when I die someone makes a pint from my skull and donate it to a viking exhibit. Later I learned that the skull pints were just a hoax and skulls are actually very bad material to make a pint. So I just donated my body to the university so the doctor students can practise making surgeries with my body and the scientists can use parts of me to do scientific stuff. So not funny funerals for me. :)

Wait... your from Finland?! I was about to chide you for being a Minnesota Vikings fan. they like to promulgate that hoax a lot, to justify that stupid skol chant they do. (Okay, so I live in Minnesota, and vikings are 'my team' by default, because I could care less about a bunch of guys in tights fighting over something called a 'pigskin'. one of my friends is a very ardent fan, however.)

1. Toss in some garlic cloves and a crucifix as the casket is being lowered. 2. toss in a black diary with a lock on it as the casket is lowered. 3. As people leave the grave site, walk out of a black suv with a Geiger counter like device and sweep it over the grave. 4. As people leave the grave site drive up in a truck with shovels in the back. 5. Have four men wearing dark suits and sunglasses get out of a black limousine and stand back and begin taking flashless pictures of the people at the grave site. 6. Hiring two African Americans dressed as though they were from Jamaica the female holds a large very old black book and chants in a low voice. The man holds a shovel. 7. A total non sequitur hire a woman with a monkey to show up and stand back at the grave site. It doesn't mean anything, but it will get them talking. 8. This will work as well if you wear a clown costume.

I'm going to donate my body to science, so no funny funeral stories for me

Lol - my evil ex actually filled in a form to donate his body to science. It gives me great satisfaction to imagine him being chopped up bit-by-bit.
