Not the same but back in 1980 or so my grandma died. Tradition in our family is if there is no graveside service a representative of the family goes back to witness the casket being buried. There were 8 grankids all of them were in attendance. The truck brought the casket and as it was backing out it backed right over my cousin’s brand new sports car. If that don’t break the tension nothing will. The cemetery replaced the car and all was good.
I pray something like my casket being dropped happens at my funeral to liven things up. My daughter has strict instructions to put the fun back in funeral. This is on the list.
