    My ex-flatmate was going out with a Dutch girl.

    She told him she was coming around one evening with a DVD so he got a few beers, snacks etc and told me to make myself scarce.

    The DVD, it turns out, was of her fathers funeral! :eek:

    Don't recall her ever calling around again after that.

    It must have been planned, push them in and record it for the laughs. Cause who records at a funeral.

    Oh you can be absolutely sure about that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,872 ✭✭✭CrabRevolution


    I've rarely seen funerals recorded, but the few that I can, they tended to be funerals of foreigners. I assumed they were recorded for members of the family back home who couldn't make it.

    I know the Dutch very well and believe me they are not that whacky! Just a strange folk in my opinion.

    I have been to funerals there though that had a photographer on duty.

    Irish people find it very strange but it's not when you think about it. It's a major event in family life and some like to record memories of it.

    Also, we don't find it strange when funerals of celebrities or accident/crime victims are shown on the news and in the papers.

    Someone looking for a bit of cash from a you'be been framed show.

    Hardly worth their while pulling him out I'd say


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,965 ✭✭✭6541


    This is an apt thread to share this story. I was living in Sydney and house-shared with a complete stoner of a German guy. We used to score weed of this 70 year old grandmother. She ran a professional business, one would call over to her house, grab a beer, she would come over to you and do the deal, finish beer have a smoke and leave.
    One day I was in the flat and I sent the German lad over to score weed, so he went over grabbed a beer and sat and waited. Been German and always stoned what he did not realise that there were loads of people in the house. It was in fact the Funeral of this weed dealing grandmothers husband. He actually stayed for hours and eventually cornered the grandmother and scored weed off her.
    I Sh1t you not, most awake people would go oh that's a funeral I have no business in there, not my German stoner.

    Has anyone confirmed if he's fuking dead or not yet? His legs looked lifeless at the end, the coffin pushed into/onto him so I'd imagine he got at least injured, possibly paralysed even

    A guy walked onto the green type carpet yoke that they put on the grave to cover it temporarily after lowering the coffin down my uncles funeral. Everyone had turned themselves away to walk back to the cars and there was a huge clatter and there he was pulling himself up. Shouldn't have but i laughed so hard:pac:

    In fairness traditions are different and things change with time.. Think that Victorians once posed with their dead for "post mortem" portraits, and that was acceptable at the time.. Sad stuff, see HERE
    I know its not uncommon at the moment for people to watch in online when they can't be at funeral service..

    Bad and all as falling in was, at least the coffin stayed shut. Now that would have been a right fc*k up, the corpse on top of your man.

    If some idiot produced a camera at a burial of one of my loved ones - I'd be one smartphone up, one idiot down and a double burial later a happier soul.
