Irish Man’s Funeral Prank

A dead man has had the last laugh, leaving mourners at his funeral in stitches of laughter.
In a recorded message that was played after his casket was lowered into the ground, the man is heard shouting for help from below.
The crowd of mourners is heard going quiet before the audio message plays, in a video posted to Reddit titled "Irish man leaves funny recording for his funeral!"
"Hello?," the man is heard asking before the sound of knocks is heard.
"Let me out," he continues, much to the amuse of those farewelling him.
"Where the f*** am I."
"Let me out it's f***ing dark in here."
"Is that that priest I can hear."
Mourners in the cemetery are seen bursting into fits of laughter, before the camera pans to the man's casket, which is where the sound appears to be coming from.
The Reddit post has received thousands of comments so far, with fellow social media users sharing similar stories.
