Grandfather Pulls Funny Prank At His Funeral Making Everyone Laugh:

The recording goes, "Let me out. Where the **** am I? Is that priest I can hear? I can hear you! I'm in the box." The clip ends with Shay singing a Neil Diamond song. He adds, "Hello again… hello. I just called to say… goodbye."

Shay can be heard shouting, "Hello? Let me out. It's ******* dark in here." It was a pre-recorded video that Shay wanted to be played during his funeral. And it being their grandfather's wish, the children complied to it and played it after his coffin was placed in the burial ground. Bradley added, "It was his dying wish that we played this at his funeral. What a man, to make us all laugh when we were incredibly sad. He was some man for one man. Love you forever Poppabear."
