A deceased Irish man delighted his family by pulling one last prank with a hidden recording device featuring his own voice yelling, “Let me out,” as his casket was lowered into the ground.As strains of “Amazing Grace” played, Shay Bradley’s casket was lowered into his final resting place in Dublin, Ireland. But to his family’s astonishment, suddenly the dead man’s voice came wafting up from the grave saying, “Hello, hello — let me out!”The shock very quickly turned to mirth as those gathered realized that they were hearing a recording their loved one made before he succumbed to a long illness this month.

Maybe men facing death can entertain a more serious thought or two.

What a delightful man; he pranked in life and he pranked in dying. He had a little help from the undertaker, also, it would seem. The man's daughter said it best with ''I'll love you forever, Pappabear.'' Love never dies. Never.

I'm going to play "Pop goes the weasel" from a Jack-in-the-box.

Part of me thought this was funny when I first heard it. Then I realized that if I was at the funeral of a loved one and heard their voice from--presumably the coffin--I would think/hope for an instant that they were still alive.

My first thought would be, I'm glad you're finally dead.

This is hilarious something I would do but I want to be cremated so maybe a recording before the cremation begins saying "it's hot in here".
This is true a cell phone was put in a man's casket at his wake and he got a call after the casket was closed. Someone didn't get the message and called him.

My favorite undertaker said he could give me a hot smoking body. I replied 'Come on, baby, light my fire.'
On my tombstone, I want 'This is the end of the beginning.'

I’ve always found the moment the body is dropped into the ground to be the most agonizing part of a funeral service. To me this is a great way to lighten the mood. Why not? The guy knew what would make his loved ones laugh. Sort of a parting gift.

Good Grief! What has this world come to? Might have been funny if not for such vulgar language. My dad never swore in front of us. Miss him and the respect he showed women and children.

To some, maybe it is funny, but I think I would have been horrified.

Planning this little prank was most likely very amusing to the deceased. But I would not want it going on at any funeral I attended, at least not a service for close family.
The funerals of my parents rates up there with the two worst days of my life. Hearing some silly "jokes" at that time would have seemed a cruel distraction. I had no interest in sitting there giggling, feigning enjoyment, when I wanted the services to be over asap.

My ideal funeral is a cremation and then everyone gathers aroound at my house and parties hearty. They do not have to remembe3r me or anything I did. But, they can if they want to so long as they do not cry. I don't want any sadness at my funeral. Only joy that my life was long and full of humor and gladness and I overcame every obstical placed in front of me. They can rejoyce in that then I am then with my creator.

Ah, the entertainment of an Irish wake and funeral. My dear departed sainted Irish Catholic mother regaled me with the stories of the Irish funerals of her youth in northern Wisconsin. While she didn't say so, it sounded like they were almost worth having someone die from the drinking, eating, and socializing. The party would go for at least three days and I think the Irish thought process was that Jesus had three days before he rose from the dead, so what's the problem in giving old Uncle Paddy the same chance?

The men in my family do not---and have never---sworn in front of their wives or children. For us the actual funeral and burial are somber affairs, although some lighthearted remembrances are celebrated there and at the meal in the home to follow. By the way, we don't drink alcohol at the meal to follow, or at the family gatherings before the funeral. Perhaps that helps manage decorum.
This kind of thing would be frightening to young children, and might even imprint their memory of the death and services for anyone not in on the impending joke. Perhaps they feel that a "bit o' fun" trumps even that.
