Dark Humour In A Grave Situation

For years I got tons of paper mail and email selling me burial plots. Then suddenly they stopped and I started getting bombarded with sales pitches for river cruises in Europe. They evidently gave up on my dying to please them.

What Boud said- hilarious- do not please the undertaker- ever!
The clowns burring their friend is sort of a true story- "The american Way of Death" if the dead is too tall for the box, chop the feet off! yes, that happened.

Rade said...

Superb!

Travel said...

They scattered Larry's ashes on the family farm, and the cows came over and licked him up off the ground.

Duni said...

HAHA - the cat!

Bob said...

I'd just like to put out on the curb for the recycling pickup. What they'll muse me for I do not know.

RedPat said...

Hilarious, Debra.

Pixie said...

Too funny. A friend of mine had everyone sing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" at the end of her funeral, it was beautiful.

bobbie said...

Enjoyed them all, but the one about MP's song REALLY tickled my funny bone!! TFS ~
bobbie
PS ~ it also gave me a great idea!

Dear Debra, the ones I laughed 😅 🤣 😂 the hardest are the cats, the clowns 🤡 the strawberries and the tombstone typo. Thanks for sharing, dear friend.

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

LOL Boud. 😆

Fundy Blue said...

Hilarious, Debra! Maybe I'll mix my ashes with that left over bottle of glitter I have for teaching. 😂

Kathy G said...

The Monty Python sounded bizarre enough to be an urban legend, but multiple sources pointed out it's true...which is hilarious.

Carola Bartz said...

I like the glitter idea!

Moving with Mitchell said...

Ha! (Oh to be Boud.) These are hilarious. I’m now thinking about Pop Goes the Weasel.

DVArtist said...

These are excellent, especially the first one.

roentare said...

A grave mistake one is so witty

Guillaume said...

Macabre, but funny.

Mistress Maddie said...

That first one is a major groaner!!!!!!!!!!!!! SIGH.......

But the boss one was pricless.

Tom said...

You sure have quite the sense of humor!

Tundra Bunny said...

I want a glitter paint bomb in with my ashes so any grave robbers get the Porch Pirate treatment! But just to be sporting, my epitaph will be "Fuck Around And Find Out".

DB Stewart said...

Ha, let's hope this finally diminishes the cliche use of "think outside the box" lol.

Kay G. said...

Oh, these are all great but now, whenever someone says how good someone looks in a casket, I will have to stifle a giggle thinking of strawberry preserve.

Ur-spo said...

I liked the cat best.

My name is Erika. said...

Yup these are dark humor. I like idea of Monty python's Bight side of life song at a funeral. Better to make people smile and be a little surprised.

peppylady (Dora) said...

There one when corps arise out of the casket. And toss flowers there holding, and says "Who Next"

Lady M said...

I love that "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" is the UK's number one funeral song.

Kirk said...

I rarely laugh at circus clowns, but I did this time.

River said...

All good ones, I like the idea of Always Look On The Bright Side of Life being sung at funerals. And being put to sea on a unicorn floaty.

Bilbo said...

I wonder if I could get away with either of those epitaphs.

angela said...

Monty python has given us so much.
Bless them

Jennifer said...

Monty Python! That's a favorite! LOL

ellen abbott said...

Unicorn floatie and a sparkler. Sounds about right.
I knew that guy once, an artist, who mixed unclaimed cremains into paint and painted with it. He said everyone had a subtly different color. We called him 'Wayne the cremains guy'.

e said...

They're all good but I love the strawberry jam!

This N That said...

Hard to pick just one!!!

baili said...

All great ,out of the box is light one

CaptainKirt said...

Reminds me of the adverts on daytime TV, it's all life insurance and cremation only funeral plans.
