Years before he died, my grandfather had his lawyer put a contingency in his will & testament that his estate could not be distributed unless we played 3 songs he had picked out during the funeral service, AND required that his immediate family members stood up & sang along *without any prior announcement* The faces in the crowd while I was up there hollering the lyrics to “Six Foot Down” by Gene Ski without any context like it was some sort of backwoods partridge family reunion was exactly what I needed to get through that week.

The scams in the funeral industry are INSANE! Like did you know funeral homes make it seem like embalming is legally required (it isn't in most places) and that you need a nice big plot to bury the body but in many places you can bury grandma in your yard and you can dump a body anywhere in international waters.
I was expecting that too! Though if Tugg ever goes into talking about all the ridiculous overpriced things that can go on in some parts of the funeral industry, then he should collaborate with the Ask a Mortician channel (a channel that's really educational about how the funeral industry works btw - definitely recommend people check it out). ^^
Thank you. I'm actually 3 hours away from my father's funeral. I probably won't take any of your advice (because I'm not crazy), but you made me laugh. Great timing!
FUN fact: I saw a funeral procession drive by my house earlier today. A few minutes later, I got the notification that this video was premiering. Thank you, good sir, for the comedic timing.
My dad died when I was thirteen (we weren’t close but it was still weird) and I was sat at his funeral and they started reading the poem “chocolate cake” by Michael fucking Rosen and I started laughing so hard because it was such a dystopian and weird experience- it got to the point where my cousin started laughing as well and he put his arm around me and whispered “pretend like we’re crying” so we just sat there laughing while they read this god awful strange poem and it was honestly the weirdest experience I’ve ever had
Lights dim, cue the fog machines, absolutely hype music plays as I walk to the coffin with open arms, “family and friends of the dearly beloved, can we get some NOIIIISSEEEEE!!!”
At that point just come out of the coffin. Or get one of those platform lifts underneath the coffin (with some scaffolding to hold it high enough) so when you come up you are under coffin.
i genuinely believe it is important to make funerals fun and enjoyable. when i was 10 at my 18yo brother's funeral, i was in the worst place mentally i've ever been in. my two best friends came, however, and i sat with them during the precession rather than the family pew at the front. long story short we talked and had fun and laughed so hard we had to try to be quiet. i have zero idea how i would have gotten through that without laughing.
In Ireland we drink and celebrate the life of people who have passed. Wakes usually last 2-3 days, filled with people laughing, sharing stories and drinking. A funeral is a 6hr affair from service to "after party" 😅 a lot of us end up in the pub the rest of the night, toasting to the fallen ❤
I went to Ireland a couple years ago and to be honest…y’all really seem to have life figured out! And death apparently. Ig the absolutely insane views probably help…the scenery was shocking coming from America 😂
The Irish side of my family has those kinds of funerals. Burial is in the morning and we spend the rest of the day and night partying in memory of our family. It gets weird when you get used to the fun funerals and then end up going to the normal ones.
When I was in elementary school, one of my grandparents died. I was feeling overwhelmed by all of the strangers talking to me in the line, so I sat off to the side with another grandparent to take a minute. In a moment I will NEVER forget, a man *slides* up to me and my grandmother, announces, "Hello there! I'm Nicolas the Ridiculous!", and then proceded to do a stand up comedy act for me and my grandma. It was one of the strangest encounters I have ever experienced, but it was so weird that it honestly made me feel better because of how dumbfounded I was. I have never seen him since. I told the story to my dad later on that day, and he thinks that it was one of his cousins. Oh, and that cousin's name was Sylvester. I'm starting to think maybe Nicolas the Ridiculous was a time traveler who became inspired after watching this video. Thank you, Tugg, for possibly creating this monstrosity.
I was clinically dead for 90 seconds in 2002 and honestly I've been chasing a nap of that quality ever since. Chest really hurt afterwards. Doc was really good at CPR
As someone who went to school for Mortuary Science, this video amuses me. Honestly though, I quickly left the field because it was too corporate. And working for smaller family owned ones is *really* hard to get into bc ya know---it usually stays within the family, but it can happen! But, I just couldn't sleep at night knowing that I had to up-sell a coffin, flowers, etc, to a grieving family. They're already at their lowest point, and they expect you try and sell, sell, sell. People are vulnerable when they're sad and funeral homes take advantage of that, unfortunately. You can certainly find good ones, they are out there and do exist. Ones that are more concerned with the family and friends than the money but anyway---I understand it's a business, but it's a business that needs tact. We had to take a psychology course on how to talk with grieving people and do business with them. I wanted to only be an embalmer, bc I've worked on a body and I find embalming fun, however I would have also been certified as a funeral director and personally, I don't want to be responsible for nearly draining a family dry just bc I convinced them "it's what they would have wanted," or "don't they deserve a good send off?" or some salesman bullshit like that.
I recently started working as a funeral director at a mid-sized memorial park in CA USA, no license is needed for this position in this state, and everyone is dedicated to their own department. Embalmers and restorative artists work in the prep room, arrangers, sellers, and counselors work closely with the families, and directors realize the funeral services in accordance with the negotiation and work from the staff beforehand, we are the last stop. We accommodate, decorate, prep the chapels with religious items and catering, help the family with physical needs and walk them through the service, in this park we only direct. Like you mentioned, it really does depend on the place, smaller funeral homes might have the director acting as the arranger, seller, and embalmer too, in which they do need all their licenses, and larger ones are quite corporate due to the large number of "clients" that choose them. The industry does have its negatives when it is seen as purely business and profit, but the good thing is that there are policies, laws, and ethics that are continuously looked at and improved for consumer rights and regulations. I will be starting my courses in Mortuary Sciences soon, and will most likely see a side that won't sit right with me. But at least I know, from the directors' point of view, it is fulfilling to see a funeral go smoothly. All that work to get the permits approved, the certificates, the right clergy, plan it out, and to gather the resources from various departments just so we, the directors, can get this one shot right for the family and their loved one is the best thing out of this industry - the dedication and collaboration to help a family celebrate a life. We need compassionate and empathetic people working here, and by the values that you've demonstrated in this small comment, I think you can help keep the greed at bay if you ever choose to return your path towards the funeral industry.
I am a trainee at a funeral home and I absolutely ADORE my boss because he is so chill with families pulling respectful jokes at funerals. One time he let the family drop a speaker into the casket and play a pre-recorded line of the loved one asking to be let out of the box (they were inspired by that viral video of that Irish funeral, lol). Another time he allowed for one of the brothers of the deceased to come in early into the chapel of rest and place a whoopie cushion on the dad’s seat (went over fantastically, but ended with a very confused and startled elderly man). Bring back fun end-of-life celebrations!
After listening to the new Alvin Flames album my third eye was opened. My ex was shot off a cliff from the pure vibes. And my dog started talking to me purely to say how amazing it was
My daughter passed a few days before she was born (the third of this march) and we have to plan her funeral this month, this has made me less stressed about it thank you ❤️
My aunt died 3 months ago from cancer. At the funeral most of the people were important people in politics (because my uncle is kinda important in my city) and they were there for the picture. I hated every second of it. This video made me laugh and wonder what would had happened if I did some of the things you put in the video. Great video Tugg, you made my grieving so much easy❤️
Me and my grandmother held a Wakening for my grandfather passed. What a wakening is, is just you celebrating the life of the departed by telling stories about them, serve their favorite dishes and drinks and just remembering the good times we had with them with people in their lives that you know or never met. I was nice and Its the only one I've been to out all of the other funerals I have been to and it is something I want when I die.
Okay this is so apropos because my mom is literally dying and we've planned a few pranks for her Catholic funeral 😂 She's an icon and I'm gonna miss her so much
So sorry you’re all going through such a hard thing, but glad you’re making it through with some humour. My dad mentioned he wants us to throw a party and have him there weekend at Bernie’s style. Lol. I told him I’m pretty sure we would get charged with messing with a corpse.
Wakes/funerals are almost fun in a macabre way in the Irish catholic tradition. Story telling/remembrances of the departed, drinking (and/or smoking weed with the cousins/cool relatives), laughing/crying/laughing/crying, etc… “We miss the shit out of ya, but we know you’d call us pussies for crying so we’ll just have a friar’s club roast by your casket” type vibes
At my great grandma's funeral my cousin and I (both twelve) just went exploring around the church, finding a bunch of creepy old hallways. One of which held both an open room with a chalkboard and a playroom, most of the kids at the funeral spent it in the playroom, me, my brother, and my cousins spent the time playing hangman and attacking each other with pillows. Moral of the story: Have pillow fights at funerals (no disrespect to my great grandma, we were all there for the service and all of us were very sad when we found out she was dead)
Bro, you have no idea what a nightmare it is to organize even a small funeral, and all the paperwork and other stuff that comes with a person perishing. By the time a funeral is finally happening I just want to drink heavily and go to sleep afterwards like god intended.
As the first born kid who wound up being the distanced black sheep of the family, this is actually quite useful. Thanks a bunch, awesome videos. Edit 20240315: Since people upvoted this I thought about it some more. WIP, but plan so far is I'd need to claw my way first in line for the stupid speeches, and say mildly weird things sprinkled with teachings that didn't come from the deceased, have an awkward close and then it's next speaker. This way I don't have to follow hard acts from more successful siblings, and the audience can have a nice upward progression to the evening as better versed & more popular people speak. While the audience is captivated with that, I've eaten all the shrimp, ghosted the gig, and am in an Uber back to the airport.
My mom played a song that went like “roll me up and smoke me when I die” at my dads funeral because he would find it funny and we thought others would to but nope. We were the only ones laughing our asses off at the funeral and everyone was staring at us like we were insane 😂
I work in a party store and we commonly have people come in to buy balloons for celebrations of life. I love the idea because instead of mourning the loss of someone, they’re celebrating the life they lived
When my grandma died, one of my dad's family friends gave the eulogy, and mentioned how awful my grandma's cooking was. It was an almost 3 minute section of the eulogy
This reminds me of my Nanas funeral where we tripped while setting the casket on the lowering straps and the casket slid into place (only slightly off kiltered 😅). Luckily everything was good and everyone got a good laugh knowing Nana would just laugh her butt off at it 😂 It really helped the mood before the end of the funeral!
My dad left us a month and a half ago. As per his wishes there was no funeral but a celebration of life (basically a potluck with family and friends) and that was so much easier to do, funerals are...they're almost traumatic eh? Like you have to perform mourn, not mourn in your own way. I get why my dad wanted this.
My grandpa passed away recently and I've been going through a rough patch. His funeral is coming up and this really made me laugh so I feel a bit better about the whole thing. Thanks Tucker!
I find it genuinely funny this video comes out the day after my grandpa died and I don't know if that's a bad thing or not, don't worry I'm sure to use the advice given here
I was at a funeral for a partners great aunt a few years ago.. the son got up to "speak" and instead pulled a karaoke machine out from his pew and began singing. He sang 2 and a half songs before someone went up to stop him. It was still the most wild funeral experience I've personally had (The son is a narcissist and often does outlandish things to get the attention on himself at the *most* inappropriate times)
Your timing is impeccable. My grandfather passed away the day you uploaded this. His funerals Friday. You always know how to make me smile Tugg. Thank you
Just read the comments. I love this community. To those who have lost someone recently, my condolences. We are all.so grateful for the giggles Big Tugg 😂
Thank you. My grandma passed a few months back and I'm finding it incredibly difficult to deal w the loss bc we were p close and lived together w my mum so this helped a bit.
my Papa's funeral I found out he was a spy during the Korean war....I knew he worked for the Pentagon for 22 years...22 years, 2 months, 2 weeks and 2 days to be exact. He was also a financial advisor/accountant, he really liked numbers....which I found out even more so because the coordinates he would have to memorize while being behind enemy lines. He also was one of the first 20 men to break the sound barrier in a plane and he got court-martialed for doing it because it was under the Golden Gate bridge. He spent the next couple years in Iceland haha. You find out more about people some times after they die.
Does he have some weird religious baggage or something? Im a recent viewrr and at least my impressjon so far is that hes your typical northeastern self hating catholic like 90% of white catholic comedians
I’m planning my mother’s memorial service and I’ve had to stop myself repeatedly from getting to the podium and telling off everyone who treated her wrong. It’s terrible. But it would be hilarious.
When I first saw the title I immediately thought of the video where a guy made a recording to play at his funeral that made it sound like he was alive in the casket they just put in the ground. It was pretty funny and the attendees got a nice laugh out of an overall sad day.
My family has launched my dad's ashes 3 times now with Celestis Memorial Spaceflight. And I know three times seems like a lot but he was quite the space Enthusiast and the first time around we couldn't go to the actual memorial launch because of covid so they gifted us with another launch, that one we got to go to but he re-entered the atmosphere within about 6 months so they gave us another launch. And that one is TBD. But it's a fucking epic experience every time
I remember I was going to my Uncles funeral, and we he was actually just 3 years older than me(my mom had me at a young age, and my grandmother had her children at a similarly young age) and we grew up in the same home and he was practically my brother growing up, but as we grew we started drifting apart, and he became more, and more pretentious to the point no one liked him(me included) nor associated with him(me included), and when he died in a car accident, I was the person he said was closest to him so I had to give a speech at his funeral. Legit no one wanted to do it, not even my mother, she and everyone I knew practically begged me to do it. Worst day of my life. But rest in peace Nikolai.
dude your jokes are getting better, your production quality is improving, and your videos are the only videos I ever actually laugh at in real life. The arguing with your past self bit and the funeral pranks were great segments.

Years before he died, my grandfather had his lawyer put a contingency in his will & testament
that his estate could not be distributed unless we played 3 songs he had picked out during the funeral service, AND required that his immediate family members stood up & sang along
*without any prior announcement*
The faces in the crowd while I was up there hollering the lyrics to “Six Foot Down” by Gene Ski without any context like it was some sort of backwoods partridge family reunion was exactly what I needed to get through that week.
I miss that old fucker. he always had a way of hitting you with what you need when you least expected it.😂
Grinning like an idiot reading this
I wanna be like that man when I die lol
When I heard the “HE PROMISED TO TAKE ME WITH HIM” made me laugh so hard
Even in death he's still making people smile.
Well that was a little poetic
I'm surprised there wasn't a "GUESS THAT OBSCENE PRICE" segment, seems appropriate.
I was expecting it for some reason...
The scams in the funeral industry are INSANE!

My mom played a song that went like “roll me up and smoke me when I die” at my dads funeral because he would find it funny and we thought others would to but nope. We were the only ones laughing our asses off at the funeral and everyone was staring at us like we were insane 😂
His sense of terror and his emotions make him so entertaining and humorous even though it is about FUN FuNERALS!!!!😂😂❤
Love u tug froma proud TUGGLET❤
I work in a party store and we commonly have people come in to buy balloons for celebrations of life. I love the idea because instead of mourning the loss of someone, they’re celebrating the life they lived
Thank you for this great advice Tucker I used this at my mother's funeral! 🙏🙏🙏
😀🫢😂
LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
today's my grandpa's funeral and you have no idea how much better i feel after that video, it really made me less stressed, thank you bro
I love the weird relationship between past and editing tugger
11:59 love the Bo Burnham reference
“Legends never die, but boring people do”
Holy hell 😂
My Grandma wants to be a firework when she dies. That sounds so metal honestly
1:04 thats called a celebration of life we did that for my great grandma
When my grandma died, one of my dad's family friends gave the eulogy, and mentioned how awful my grandma's cooking was. It was an almost 3 minute section of the eulogy
1:49 I dont remember when I laugh so hardly :D
almost a year after my cousin passed away, this was sort of comforting and therapeutic in a twisted sort of way, thanks tucker
Fly high Bigg Tugg 🕊️🕊️🕊️
It’s like I can still hear him 😔
U R insane - more please! Keep these coming. This one deserves an academy award.
*"peace of mind from that weird piece of your mind"* we droppin bars with this one🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
This reminds me of my Nanas funeral where we tripped while setting the casket on the lowering straps and the casket slid into place (only slightly off kiltered 😅). Luckily everything was good and everyone got a good laugh knowing Nana would just laugh her butt off at it 😂 It really helped the mood before the end of the funeral!
My dad left us a month and a half ago. As per his wishes there was no funeral but a celebration of life (basically a potluck with family and friends) and that was so much easier to do, funerals are...they're almost traumatic eh? Like you have to perform mourn, not mourn in your own way. I get why my dad wanted this.
My grandpa died today. Thank you for the much needed laugh
That fourth wall break was golden.
My grandpa passed away recently and I've been going through a rough patch. His funeral is coming up and this really made me laugh so I feel a bit better about the whole thing. Thanks Tucker!
A 14 minute tugg video? Right after I finished watching solo leveling? This is the best day ever.
Me and my friend made a promise to each other that the person who dies first has to sponsor the funeral with Grammarly
11:40-12:02 was a great bit.
HOLY SHIT that bit during the sky burials was INSPIRED. Absolutely iconic acting and writing and editing i love you tugg
I find it genuinely funny this video comes out the day after my grandpa died and I don't know if that's a bad thing or not, don't worry I'm sure to use the advice given here
I was at a funeral for a partners great aunt a few years ago.. the son got up to "speak" and instead pulled a karaoke machine out from his pew and began singing. He sang 2 and a half songs before someone went up to stop him. It was still the most wild funeral experience I've personally had
(The son is a narcissist and often does outlandish things to get the attention on himself at the *most* inappropriate times)
Tucker, I literally just finished watching the final game theory episode, you didn't have to time this video to make it MORE emotional lmao.
Your timing is impeccable. My grandfather passed away the day you uploaded this. His funerals Friday. You always know how to make me smile Tugg. Thank you
Did.. did I just spot a reference to “This Is How The World Works” by Bo Burnham?
My God- Big Tugg.. you are my FAVORITE!
I love how every analogy uses a man like yes Tugg women do t die and we’ve been lying this whole time 👍
Just read the comments. I love this community. To those who have lost someone recently, my condolences. We are all.so grateful for the giggles Big Tugg 😂
Thank you.
My grandma passed a few months back and I'm finding it incredibly difficult to deal w the loss bc we were p close and lived together w my mum so this helped a bit.
1:05 As a former catholic, holy shit you are correct. Catholic funerals somehow make the funeral even sadder than it originally was
The bit with your brother was so wholesome!
Oops! Who put that there? whoopsie-daisy! 😄 6:35
my Papa's funeral I found out he was a spy during the Korean war....I knew he worked for the Pentagon for 22 years...22 years, 2 months, 2 weeks and 2 days to be exact. He was also a financial advisor/accountant, he really liked numbers....which I found out even more so because the coordinates he would have to memorize while being behind enemy lines. He also was one of the first 20 men to break the sound barrier in a plane and he got court-martialed for doing it because it was under the Golden Gate bridge. He spent the next couple years in Iceland haha. You find out more about people some times after they die.
My grandfather chose all the music for his funeral and we exited the church to “Staying alive”
YOUR GANDPA IS THE ACTUAL GREATEST MAN -ALIVE- UH TO LIVE
@@mrs.samuel.L.jackson Thanks - his sense of humour is what I miss most about him
My dad passed away back in October, he would've loved me to pull this stuff at his memorial. Thanks Tugg, I needed that.
Tucker has officially gone off the rails. Thanks for taking us with you
That editor argument was hilarious!
This man's humor is the only reason why as a Christian I still watch him he is so funny bro
Does he have some weird religious baggage or something? Im a recent viewrr and at least my impressjon so far is that hes your typical northeastern self hating catholic like 90% of white catholic comedians
I’m planning my mother’s memorial service and I’ve had to stop myself repeatedly from getting to the podium and telling off everyone who treated her wrong. It’s terrible. But it would be hilarious.
My grandpa died on Thursday so this timing couldn’t be any better thanks for giving me a good laugh.
When I first saw the title I immediately thought of the video where a guy made a recording to play at his funeral that made it sound like he was alive in the casket they just put in the ground. It was pretty funny and the attendees got a nice laugh out of an overall sad day.
My family has launched my dad's ashes 3 times now with Celestis Memorial Spaceflight.
And I know three times seems like a lot but he was quite the space Enthusiast and the first time around we couldn't go to the actual memorial launch because of covid so they gifted us with another launch, that one we got to go to but he re-entered the atmosphere within about 6 months so they gave us another launch. And that one is TBD. But it's a fucking epic experience every time
I remember I was going to my Uncles funeral, and we he was actually just 3 years older than me(my mom had me at a young age, and my grandmother had her children at a similarly young age) and we grew up in the same home and he was practically my brother growing up, but as we grew we started drifting apart, and he became more, and more pretentious to the point no one liked him(me included) nor associated with him(me included), and when he died in a car accident, I was the person he said was closest to him so I had to give a speech at his funeral. Legit no one wanted to do it, not even my mother, she and everyone I knew practically begged me to do it. Worst day of my life. But rest in peace Nikolai.
"you always want to get the audience to pop" oh okay
I’m impressed with how many “funeral” stock photos there are😅
7:46 I mean, perfect.
My older sibling has been planning their FUN-eral for almost a decade
dude your jokes are getting better, your production quality is improving, and your videos are the only videos I ever actually laugh at in real life. The arguing with your past self bit and the funeral pranks were great segments. Keep up the good work my man, this upload schedule is insane, try not to burn out trying to get these out every Saturday.
Already know ima love this
You fighting with yourself was on repeat for me! That was freakin hilarious!! The forth wall was demolished bruh😂😂
formal request for you to do a video about the African savannah. a truly wild place.
Before putting off this watch for a few days I finally out loud said FINE TUGGER and wow just as weird and funny as I thought way to go champ
