#UltimateFact presents Top 10 People Attended Their Own #Funeral. #Funerals give us the chance to grieve the #death of our loved ones and are often fraught with tense emotions. Given the high tensions and sometimes shocking revelations that can occur at these gatherings, it might be considered something of a blessing in disguise that we are present in body only.
Unsurprisingly, few people live to see their own funeral; most are long dead before the ceremony begins. However, the following people each managed to witness their own life’s memorial either by choice or by bizarre chance. Here are Top 10 Shocking Cases of People Who Attended Their Own Funeral.
Gilberto Araujo
In 2012, Jose Marcos received a phone call from the police. They told him his brother, Gilberto Araujo, had been killed, and his body was in the morgue. Marcos had to go to the police station and identify his brother’s body. He confirmed that the dead man was Araujo.
Araujo’s family planned a funeral for the dead man. As the mourners gathered to grieve around the casket, Araujo showed up at the front door. His appearance terrified the guests: Some people fainted, and others fled in panic. A friend told Araujo that his body was in the nearby coffin. Araujo assured his loved ones that he was alive, and he offered to let them pinch him to prove it.
Araujo told his family that he had recently learned of the mistake from an acquaintance, who told him that his family was preparing his funeral. He tried to call and tell them he was alive, but they thought that it was a cruel prank.
The family returned the body to the police, who discovered the corpse’s true identity: Genivaldo Santos Gama, a man who closely resembled Araujo.
Timothy Dexter
Eccentric 18th-century millionaire Timothy Dexter wanted to know what people thought about him. He decided to hold a mock funeral, hide, and see how his death affected the guests. Dexter sent out a notice, which claimed he had died, and his family invited people to his funeral.
Over 3,000 people attended the ceremony. Dexter’s family greeted the mourners. The grieving guests were led inside and seated in front of an extravagant coffin. A man, who Dexter had hired to pose as a priest, read a long eulogy, which Dexter had written. After he finished speaking, the coffin was carried to the garden and buried.
Felix ‘Bush’ Breazeale
Felix Breazeale spent five years planning his own funeral. As he’d never married or had many friends, Breazeale was eager to hear what the preacher had to say about him. His bizarre funeral in 1938 gained national attention, and 8,000 people attended. Vendors sold soft drinks and hot dogs, and the spectacle had a carnival-like atmosphere.
Zeng Jia
In 2013, after attending her grandfather’s funeral, Zeng Jia decided to have a funeral of her own. Zeng scheduled a ceremony at a funeral home and invited her friends and family. She bought flowers, rented a coffin, and hired a photographer. She even hired makeup artists to make her look like a corpse. Then she lay in a coffin while holding her favorite Hello Kitty doll.
Zeng spent an hour in the coffin, and she kept her eyes closed during the ceremony. She almost burst into tears when she opened her eyes; she felt the world had changed. Zeng claimed that the experience made her value her life more.
Zhang Deyang
Zhang Deyang never married or had children, and he worried about his afterlife. In Chinese culture, the dead are believed to have the same needs as the living. Families are expected to arrange for the funerals and pay regular visits to the deceased’s grave. Zhang worried that no one would take care of him after he died.
In 2016, he decided to organize a mock funeral, and he invited his friends and family. Around 40 of his loved ones attended, along with several hundred curious people from nearby villages. Zhang was delighted with his ceremony. He enjoyed watching the pretend mourners bow their heads in prayer at his feet. Zhang even crawled into his fake grave toward the end of the funeral.
Zhang’s mock funeral also included a mock wedding to a dead woman, as it is seen as unlucky to go into the afterlife without a spouse.
Dragan And Dragica Maric
Dragan and Dragica Maric arranged their premature funeral in 2016. The couple had no children, and they wanted to organize a proper funeral for themselves before they died. The Marics did not want anyone to have to pay for a funeral for them.
Ademir Jorge Goncalves
Several of Ademir Goncalves’s relatives identified him as the victim of a car crash in 2009. The corpse was badly disfigured, but its clothing was similar to what Goncalves had been wearing. His family began preparing the funeral, which was to take place the next day.
She was right; the #corpse was not his. Her son had spent the night at a truck stop talking with friends over drinks. He had no idea that his family thought he was #dead.
