The daughter of a Dublin man who recorded a message from beyond the grave for mourners as part of his "funeral prank" admitted that her brother and father had kept it a secret for one whole year before his death.The 63-year-old's dying wish was to spook family and friends at his graveside by playing a pre-recorded message which sounded like it was coming from inside the coffin, Dublin Live reports.
She said: "My dad was absolutely crazy. That would have been his ideal reaction from the trick. He was always a prankster and joking with everyone, he was a real jovial character." Before the funeral, Jonathan gathered Shay's wife Anne, his siblings Susanne, James and Andrea as well as Shay's eight grandchildren and he played the track.
"My brother presses play on the speaker. Next thing, people can hear dad saying 'hello' and a noise that sounded like someone knocking on the coffin. "Everyone is laughing at this stage, except Rose. She's shocked, she thinks the message is real. Then, the penny drops and she's like 'it's a good thing he's dead because I'd have killed him'. That reaction would have pleased him the most."
