People who have organized and hosted pretend funerals

[Pete]

I only know of two, personally; oscar Weber and Ron Prince.  Do you guys know of any others?

[LickNeckey]

Lazarus?

please remind me who Ron held a funeral for, was it Boss?

Dr. John Dorian (in a daydream, but then he died for real at his fake funeral)

[Trim]

I don't know who but there has to be at least one other.  RP wouldn't do something like that unless he'd heard of it being done by Virginia Tech or somebody in the Parcells/Bellichick coaching tree.

He did it for his "playbook"

"And then we'd have my REAL funeral."

"Are you an idiot?"

"No sir, i'm a dreamer."

The douche from Tuesdays with Maury

Michael More did it in one of his documentaries.  Was it "the big one"?  Workers who got laid off from a candy bar factory had a funeral for thier candy bars.  It didn't make a lot of sense to me at the time.

I also seem to remember the NAACP having a funeral for the N word some years ago, trying to get everybody to stop saying it I think was the point.

Now we are cooking.  Looks like there are many examples of hosting a pretend funeral, that I was not aware of.

[pissclams]

thread fail.

[Pete]

thread fail.

Oh really?  How?

We have a very fun list of characters who have thrown fake funerals.  Really motley crew, if you ask me.  I am basically hanging a mission accomplished banner above my computer right now.

What about those two crazies that got married on MTV?  That was sort of a funeral wedding vampire thing right?
