re: Best funeral mishap ever?

At my fiance's funeral...

His family asked me to find some good pics of him to enlarge and put on display. I found a small pic of him on a boat, holding a huge fish with a big smile on his face. they took it and had it enlarged and put on display. At the service i was looking at the pic with my son and commented " wow that is such a great pic of... Holy crap, is he naked in that pic?!?!"

Yep, he was naked in the pic. Nothing private showed but if you looked close you would see that there was no way he had shorts on. His ex came by me and said " yes, he is naked in that pic"

I was pretty horrified at first but his family assured me that it was actually funny as heck and we all laughed because it was like his final prank on us. i am sure he was up in heaven laughing with us.

leave it to him to find a way to make his funeral a funny memory of how he loved to laugh and make others laugh too

My gf told me a story about her grandma's funeral where the doves flew into the road and just landed there only to be smashed by a big arse truck.

oh god

I had an uncle (23 yo) to die way back in January of 87. He got killed working in a lumber yard. It was a very tough funeral

Anyhow it's a wet and gloomy day, and as we are outside under the tent having the final rights said, one of the attendees had decided to leave. His no muffler pos car got stuck. So he was rocking it back and forth right in the middle of the preachers speech. Even in absolute grief u couldn't help but crack a smile and wonder what idiot would do such.

My cousin married into a crazy family. The uncle of the family was nicknamed "Shag" due to his generally unkempt appearance and his little drinking problem. He used to drink with one of his nephews, we'll call him squeaky for this story.

Uncle Shag died one day, and the family made the usual arrangements. At the funeral home (can't remember if it was for the wake or the actual service) the family was gathered remembering the good things about uncle Shag. About that time, Squeaky showed up, and had obviously been drinking to drown his grief. He began his stumble up the aisle and finally made it to the front, to Shag's coffin. When he got there, he totally broke down, saying "why, Shag? Why did you leave me?" And repeating it, working himself up into quite a state of grief. As he was doing this, he began to lean over the coffin and he apparently either lost his balance or just threw himself over the coffin. Bottom line, the coffin dumped over off the table and onto its side on the floor. Shag rolled out of the coffin and ended up on the floor. Squeaky was just sober enough to avoid getting smashed by the coffin as it fell. He ended up astride Shag beating on his chest, saying "why? Why did you leave me?"

Of course everyone there was in a sort of stunned silence for a second. Did I mention Shag had a daughter? He did. Said daughter was also there sitting on the front pew. Did I mention she was blind? She was (or still is, probably). She hears all the commotion and asks the lady sitting beside her what was happening. The lady turns to her and exclaims "It's squeaky. He's trying to kill your dad!" To which the confused blind girl immediately bursts out into tears.

As this is happening, the funeral director has heard the commotion and run into the chapel. About the time he gets there, they have gotten Squeaky off of Shag and out of the room, and are trying to calm the poor daughter down. The funeral director, who was a rather effeminate man, took one look at Shag lying there, snapped his fingers, and called in a high pitched voice "make-up, make-up!"

The family was banned from ever going to that funeral home again.

The best part of the story to me is this happened outside of Birmingham to a family of rabid Bama fans. Oh- and that it wasn't my family.

This is a true story. I only wish I had actually been there to witness the epic greatness first hand.
