A United fan granddad had the last laugh over his Liverpool-supporting granddaughter after he ‘woke up’ at his own funeral.

Shay Bradley, from Dublin, passed away on October 8 after a battle with cancer.

But before he died, the granddad of eight planned his very own ‘funeral prank’ turning tears to laughter with his message from beyond the grave.

The viral video shows mourners lined up around the open grave applauding as bagpipe music begins.

All I can say is, I’m glad my father didn’t do that.
That works in some families, but not in others.
I’m sure he knew his audience.

His family must have the same sense of humor.

They said he wanted his wife to leave the cemetery smiling.

This is idiotic. Obviously scripted fake.

Daughter of Dublin man behind ‘funeral prank’ video reveals brother kept secret for one year

Mourners began laughing - expected the deceased Shay Bradley’s sister who thought he had come back from the dead

(I think expected is supposed to be except?)

didn’t Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) do that in one of The Pink Panther movies?

If it were an Italian, just as his daughter was pounding the coffin wailing “How could you die on us??” and he rose up and played his joke, she’d kill him for real.

He recorded the tape a year before he passed away.

It’s not all that bad to end a funeral in laughter. Requiescat in pace, old joker.

Thanks for the good laugh!

Best Prank Of All Time. Ever. Hands-down.
I’d want my family smiling too, instead of crying.
