An Australian chef who killed himself after cutting up his transgender wife and boiling her body parts in a pot was memorialized in a funeral to the song "Killer Queen."

Around 250 family and friends said their goodbyes to Marcus Volke as rock songs like "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd played Thursday afternoon in Ballarat, Australia, according to the Herald Sun.

Tearful mourners reportedly described 28-year-old Volke as "loving, loyal and caring" without mentioning the murder of his partner, Mayang Prasetyo, according to the Melbourne news outlet.

Volke killed 27-year-old Prasetyo in their Brisbane apartment last week in what was most likely a domestic dispute gone awry, homicide detective Sergeant Tom Armitt told the Brisbane Times.

Careful with That Axe, Eugene...

Color me heartless, but I’m thinking that this isn’t much of a loss to Australian society.

Despite that, genuine condolences to anyone who cared for these two, uh, people.

Australian chef? I’ just throw a little Barbie on the barbie.

Prasetyo is Finkle!

Didn't he learn anything from Crocodile Dundee?

When he said his wife was a stew I thought he meant a flight attendant.

He was not a “chef.” That was his cover story because he didn’t want his family to know he worked as a male prostitute. They met working in a brothel.

I'm sorry, but I need some music. The Kinks, "LOLA"

250 people showed up?

Seriously?

I cannot believe it.

Who, besides the Army, boils meat? What an awful thing for a chef to do, no wonder he committed suey cide.

[Tijeras_Slim]

They heard it was catered.
