75
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: My mum went to the wrong funeral and they had

76
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: a guest book at the door. She filled it out,

77
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: got in there. There was only other two other people

78
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: in the room, so she stayed because she then felt

79
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: bad for that the personally had two people at a

80
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: funeral service. Turns out the lady that had died had

81
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: in her will to give a show of the inheritance

82
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: to anyone who turned up at the funeral. No way,

83
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: what a story to Christian. My grandfather's my husband's grandfather

84
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: passed away a few years ago, Sweet old man Arthur

85
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: funeral I asked my mother in law why he wasn't

86
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: buried with his wife Q screeching, wailing, crying. He'd been

87
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: buried in the wrong plot. They had to dig him

88
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: up two hours later we reburied him. There'd been a

89
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: mix up when the funeral home and an admin era

90
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: what an adminerer the family were given. The second plot

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: was compensation only slightly used, so somebody else had to

92
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: be dug out of that one as well. This is huge. Christian,

93
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: at my dad's funeral, colleague from work turned up failed

94
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: to turn off his phone, so one stage, when it

95
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: was very quiet, he received a phone call. His phone

96
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: went off and the ring turn was head and ready

97
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: singing iron Woman. HEMI raw, Christian. My friend died well

98
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: before his time, and at his funeral we played his

99
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: favorite type of music, which was rave music, and we

100
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: drew penises all over his coffin. The priest running the

101
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: sermon was flabbergaston. I think that's an understatement. He told

102
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: me he had never seen anything like this before, even

103
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: on his laptop. He told me heard it up this before.

104
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: But we said if I if he knew our friend,

105
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,119
Speaker 1: he was in the very happiest guy in the world.

106
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: We knew if we'd done that. That is incredible. Key

107
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: this going, these stories about what happened at the funeral

Speaker 5: We go into a beautiful chapel as a white coffin,

114
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 5: a veil over the coffin. We walk in silently. My

115
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 5: youngest brother from wister Thrala stepped forward, pulls back the

116
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 5: veil and gives a kiss on the forehead. My sister

117
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 5: walks forward and says, that's not mum. We never found

118
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 5: out who it was. It was with an old lady

Speaker 1: at the funeral?

127
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 7: I was a few years back. I was an actual

128
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 7: funeral ranger for a large reputable company and I was

129
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 7: in charge of a funeral for a huge greet you

130
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 7: know gathering. And when I in the chapel, when the

131
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 7: couple was actually being lowered, I went to hit the

132
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 7: button to play Ava Maria.

133
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: And beautiful song. Great choice. So what happened?

134
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 7: Three to zero theme song was full bore.

135
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: Not quite this is it? It's not quite that?

136
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 7: Oh it was? It was so embarrassing, it was so layout.

137
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: So you are you the free fan, Julie? Was it just?

138
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: Was it your music? Or was it for later on?

139
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 5: No?

140
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 7: No, no, it was actually set CDs in the chapel itself,

141
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 7: but somebody who put the wrong CD in, very wrong CD.

142
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: Very wrong.

143
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: Who even needs to take the theme song to the chapel?

144
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know.

145
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,000
