Dublin man receives his dying wish to pull a prank at his own funeral

What a hero, may he rest in peace.

Now there’s a headline you don’t often see.

Dublin man Shay Bradley was known to family and friends for his wicked sense of humour.

So much so, his dying wish was to pull a prank on all of them at his own funeral. He wanted to make it appear as though he was communicating with them from the grave in the hopes to go out with one more laugh.

With the help of his loving family, Shay had the send-off he wanted with everyone giggling at the grave while they listened to his pre-recorded message which made it appear as though he had accidentally been buried alive.

“Let me out, it’s fu*king dark in here…” can be heard from the recording as everyone stood around to share one last laugh with the Kilnamanagh man.

Shay’s daughter also shared a photo of her dad on Twitter, speaking about the funny funeral prank, she wrote:

“To make us all laugh when we were incredibly sad….. He was some man for one man….”

We love this. Shay, what a hero. May he rest in peace.
