Question: Whats the funniest thing that can happen at a funeral (its for a skit for drama class)!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

This is a true story!. It happened in Emporia, Kansas!. I worked at the funeral home where it happened!. There was a man who had stomped his wife to death!. He was apprehended, jailed, and put on trial, duly convicted!. The day came for his wife's funeral!. He was allowed, in handcuffs, to attend the funeral, and was led up to the coffin where the body lay in state!. Because of her injuries, her spine had been crushed, and her body formed a 'U', with her lower back forming the lowest point of her body as it lay in the coffin!. So they worked and worked on a way to get the body to lie straight in the coffin, and finally came up with the idea of putting a small spring under her back, at the lowest point, to raise her body into a straight line!. The husband was led up to the body, and was sobbing, carrying on, "Honey I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do it, This is just terrible"!. At that exact moment, the spring underneath her back broke with too much tension, and sent her body flying up out of the coffin, creating the illusion that she had, at that precise moment, 'sat up'!. He dropped dead of a heart attack on the spot!. The event was documented in the local paper!. I saw the clippings from the funeral director!. He said it was the most unusual occurrence in his funeral home!. The truth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If the stand of the coffin collapsed, causing the coffin to tip over and the body to fall out!. As horrifying as that may sound, I would probably laugh hysterically!.

The priest continually calling the person by the wrong name or mispronouncing the name!. A bit disrespectful, but still amusing!. I guess it would be even funnier if the person's name was Dick (or something else that can be mistrued as sexual or funny for other reasons) and every reference someone made towards Dick would come out hysterically sexual:
"We all loved Dick," "I will always have an empty hole now that my dear Dick is gone!."

The candles near the coffin being bumped into and causing the casket lining, stuff on the casket, etc to catch on fire!. That might be funny too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is a true story: At my aunt's funeral, a drunken uncle walked in, smoking, and as he leaned over her coffin, he dropped the cigarette in!. My aunt's husband and him got into a fistfight that escalated into half the people there fighting!.

I think we were the first, and only, time a funeral director had to call the police!.

Sigh!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One of the disressed mourners starts throwing themsleves around screaming NO NO NO!!! and then falls into the open grave!?

The first pallbearer trips, making the one behind him trip and the guy behind that guy trip throwing everything off balance and making them all drop the coffin!?

At the funeral, uncle joe who got a little too pissed before the service stands up and starts singing 'when irish eyes are smiling' right when the devistated wife is about to make the eulogy!.!.!.

just a few :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

One of the old people (crying a lot) goes near the hole and stands on the edge, he/she (preferably a girl for this part) lets go of the rose and drops in on the casket and as she turns around and slips backwards on her heel and falls in the hole!. I saw it in some local movie, I was laughing myself to tears! Good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

When my Father was buried in 1994 there had been an ice storm the night before!. While he was being carried to the grave the pallbearers slipped and dropped the casket and the casket slid 30-40 feet down a slight hill and out onto a street!. When I though what Pop would have done!.!.!.!.!.!.!.I laughed and then everyone else did too!.!.!.!.!.True storyWww@QuestionHome@Com

when like there's a moment of complete silence(and at the very end of the skit),the person in the casket pops up and screams!then he/she starts laughing their head off,but then they start coughing heavily and they die and fall back down into the casket!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Go on and on about some aspect of a persons life that is inconsistant with what people expect of that person-or is a very hidden part of that persons life (the closet cross-dresser)!.

Then realize its the wrong funeralWww@QuestionHome@Com

the casket falls over
power goes out and everyone gets scared
dog comes in and pees on the casket
