TLDR: it was at the request of the deceased.

I support this idea. The lady that passed away requested this specifically. She wanted her service to be "memorable and not sad."

This is hilarious. No matter the circumstances, it sounds like it would be awkward for all parties involved.

such a heartwarming video <3

I love this. New idea for my own funeral, when the time comes.

She had a great sense of humor.

Dance on..

I wouldn't consider 4 people a mob

I’m going with open casket and pop goes the weasel as soundtrack

Flash mobs are embarrassing.

You or the casket? 🤔

Yes

People still do flashmobs?

And now were talking about it; her wish came through :))

Hell yeah. I don’t want a funeral. I want one last party. I’m going to plan it myself too. Assuming I don’t die suddenly.

Prop me up beside the jukebox

Classic. I want this at my funeral.

She certainly went out in style.

I'm with this 100%. I always thought that I would want a ferris wheel built at my grave so the kids wouldn't get bored during the funeral. But looking it up, that's pretty expensive, but you can rent one though. Maybe I'll put that in my will.

There's video?

Yea otherwise that would be SUPER messed up.

It was requested, and not technically a flash mob since they were hired.

Embedded in the article. Its link leads here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-bristol-64223053

wasn't "flash" either, as they were hired 😅

And her coffin was labeled "Going out in style"

imagine if she had another group come in rocking out to the Dropkick Murphys song

I hope to see you on Coffin Flop, if spectrum doesn’t remove Corn Cob TV.

Yeah, really puts the "fun" in funeral.

Do a Viking send-off and give all the kids flaming arrows, the one that lights you up gets a prize.

Was really hoping this was the funeral for Diamond, from Diamond and Silk.

even better, stuff me with candy and hand out sticks to the kids

This is why you get your wishes down in writing and make your next of kin aware of them, so you too can have stuff like this when you die.

that's super sweet
