1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Jomb Mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 2: Had an interesting guest on the show Do We Manage.

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 3: His name is Bill Edgar, and he was He's written

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 3: a book about it. It's called The Coffin Confessor. And

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 3: what he does is people on their deathbeds tell him

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 3: what they'd like, whether it is a part of the ceremony.

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 3: He said there was one where he was His instruction

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 3: was to sit the funeral. Sit in the funeral and

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 3: stand up and shut down any hymns. There's a variety

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 3: of things that people passing away have asked him to do.

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: Indeed, has an.

12
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: All start though he really started as a joke.

13
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 4: I was just calling talking to a dying man about death,

14
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 4: the afterlife and that. And then I suggested that I

15
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 4: crash his funeral for it, and he took me up

16
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 4: on the offer, and since then it just went nut.

17
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: And what did he want you to do?

18
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: Bill?

19
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 4: I had to add his best mate while his best

20
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 4: mate was performing the eulogy and tell the audience that

21
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 4: his best mate had been trying to add sex with

22
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 4: his wife while he's been laying on his deathbeds.

23
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: Wow. There's also three members of.

24
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 4: The audience that my clients said if they did attend,

25
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 4: I was to remove them because he hadn't seen him

26
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 4: in thirty years, So why take their respects when he's gone.

27
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: So awkward. But how does it all work.

28
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 5: I attend a funeralized one of them mourners, I sit

29
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 5: with family and friends and a specific time set by

30
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 5: my client. I stand up, interrupt the service and open

31
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 5: a letter.

32
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: Read the letter and yeah, and that's what it will.

33
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: And he says that.

34
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 6: People say, I'll sit down, mate, And then other people

35
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 6: just want to have a They want to listen to

36
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 6: what the deceased.

37
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 2: Had to say.

38
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 3: Hopefully it's not about you.

39
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: No.

40
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: Then there's some extraordinary scenarios as well.

41
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: It seems like extra marital affairs. There's small amounts of crime,

42
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: nothing big, but there's just little confessions that people want

43
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: to confess. And there's also love for another person or

44
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, or the love for their family and friends.

45
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: So a lot of people they accept the death. What

46
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: they can't accept is leaving behind everybody or separating himself.

47
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: But that's the hardest part about this.

48
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: So would you want everything out there? Was? Once you go,

49
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: and you go, and you can't rule from the grave,

50
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 2: as they say, well, I said.

51
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: I asked him why people themselves don't write letters and

52
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: say it, and he said he sees people who are

53
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: really at the end and don't have enough energy to

54
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: do anything other than just saying here's what I'd really like.

55
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 6: Also as interesting, he's even been asked to prove that

56
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 6: the deceased are actually dead.

57
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

58
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to duties and I'm taking either being

59
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: coffins or I'm pin pricking the body to make sure

60
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: there's no motion, because people are absolutely terrified about being

61
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: buried or cremated alive.

62
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 6: Chris, you've been hired by the deceased to go up

63
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 6: and poke them while they're in front of their family.

64
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: Well, it's not in front of their family. I do

65
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: it privately and confidentially. You know, for sure something my

66
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: clients who reigns for me to do this, but they

67
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: basically say, yes, dick a pinion, this just in case.

68
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: And then sometimes it's oh, my family's going to find something.

69
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, any weird stuff you might have, and don't.

70
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: Forget if you guys, if anything ever happens on the

71
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: way home, what's left at home? You don't want somebody

72
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: to fine? Can you a call? And I'll go get

73
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: rid of it.

74
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: I've got a doggy copy of Penthouse Magazine from my bo.

75
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 3: As if your wife doesn't know that you talk about

76
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: it every half hour.

77
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,120
