Irishman has last laugh at own funeral with hilarious recorded message for mourners

A DEARLY departed Irishman had the last laugh at his funeral with a gag that had mourners in tears of laughter.

In an inspired gag from beyond the grave, he organised it so that a recorded message was played after his coffin was lowered to the ground.

To all intents and purposes, it appeared as if he was shouting for help from within his casket.

In some countries, this kind of morbid humour might not have gone down so well.

Thankfully, however, this was Ireland.

A clip of the prank was posted to Reddit under the title: “Irish man leaves funny recording for his funeral!”

It certainly lived up to the billing.

The man who decided to prank his family for one last time was Shay Bradley, a Dublin granddad of eight

“Shay was a prankster, always thought outside the box and wanted to leave his family laughing,” the man’s wife explained. “He was a larger than life character and sadly missed by anyone who knew him,” she concluded.

“Hello?” the man can heard asking before a knocking sound is heard.

“Let me out,” he continues, much to the amusement of those in attendance. him.

“Where the f*** am I.

“Let me out it’s f***ing dark in here.

“Is that that priest I can hear.”

Mourners in attendance can be seen falling bout in fits of laughter before the cameraman pans to the casket where the sound is coming from.

It was a gag that has won plenty of praise online.

“What a beautiful idea to keep people happy,” one Reddit user said.

“Laughter does help a lot when dealing with grief,” another concurred.

Now that’s what you call a proper send-off.

Share if this make you laugh.
