What is your funniest "burial / cemetary experience?

Question

Mine has to be when my uncle died and we were supposed to walk behind the hearse to the cemetary. Before the car could move the driver was handed a tape to play out loud through the loud speakers while we walk as per Filipino tradition dictates.
Since my uncle was an Elvis fan, my aunts decided that sad-sounding Elvis ballads be played. My stupid-*** cousins picked up the greatest hits collection instead of the ballads selection tape.
With everybody crying in the background, the music started to play...
"It goes one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready now go cat gooo!!!"
The cries turnd into laughter.
The driver scrambled to change the song and pressed the "next" button....
"you ain't nuthing but a hound dog, barking all the tiiime!"

Man-oh-man, that shoot was funny as hell.
I'd bet my uncle was laughing in heaven too.

I messed up... i meant CD, not tape.

Mafia girl, the key word here is "FUNNIEST".

Answer 1

can't say it's funny, but one time in the province,walking behind the hearse, there were many curvy female family members and visitors wearing white dresses, and the sun was up, but rains poured suddenly. With no umbrellas, we all got very wet. Wow, it would looked liked a strip show. They were laughing at each other.I just couldn't look at them, religious reason.

Answer 2

While the casket was lowered into the ground, the young widow cried, shouted and strained to be buried with her husband. Friends and family restrained her. Finally, the noise became too much for the people holding her back that they all let her go at once. The widow careened towards the hole.

But she caught herself just inches from the hole, incredulously looked around and asked: Bakit hindi ninyo ako hinawakan??? (translation: why did you not hold me back???)

I got slapped on the nape (nabatukan) for laughing out loud.

Answer 3

It was my grandpa's burial in our province, and someone started to take videos which is a common thing to do in the Philippines. After the burial and coming home from the cemetery, we decided to play the video. It started to show the pallbearers carrying the coffin out of my grandparent's house and one of the first people following it was our maarte cousin doing a catwalk (rumarampa) trying to give quick pose before the camera!!!

Answer 4

I went to see a chapel in Evora, Portugal that was entirely made of centuries old human bones. They decorated the archways with skulls and all the walls were made of bones mortared together. There was a sign in the church not to make fun of them because soon you will all be bones, too..

In Guanajuato, Mexico's Museum of Mummies, I saw a number of mummies, including a tiny baby mummy, people that were dried screaming or in contorted positions, and one famous mummay they call Katrina who is famous and has her face on t-shirts with a hat on. She reminded me of old Grateful Dead album covers.

Answer 5

I was too young to remember this, but my mom always said that during the funeral of one of my grandfathers, I ate all the banana cake on the trays during the wake. And just before we left after the burial, I went up to my widowed grandmother, pulled on her skirt and asked, "do you still have any of that cake left?". She still laughs out whenever she remembers it. ^_^
