Family Horrified by Dropped Casket

A worker said "my bad" after he apparently kicked the mechanism that lowers the casket, causing it to drop and open slightly during the service.

Machine breaks

Worker: “my bad”

Thats why most funeral homes dont do the lowering until everyone has gone home !!!

Lowering devices take so much abuse. I dreaded lowering caskets in front of families because I knew this could happen. If people only knew what went on with caskets and mishaps they would gasp. The company I worked for many years ago had a canopy take off in the wind about 5 minutes after the family left and grabbed the corner of the casket and rolled it a good 15 feet from the grave and no sooner did they get the casket back on the grave a family member came back for flowers… had they seen that casket upside down it would have been very upsetting to say the least but stuff happens…

Accidents truly happen...machines fail....this is just one of those rare moments caught on video/picture. I am sure they didn't mean for that to happen.

that lowering device is mechanical. They break down. It happens I own one of these devices

A few years ago I was at a funeral of an extended family member. When the directors went to lower the coffin something happened and the head end dropped while the foot end stayed put until the coffin was at about a 45* angle. The family actually got a good laugh as they said that’s something like he would have arranged to break the ice. There was also a Dixie Land band there to see him off. Quite unconventional but not so sad.

I'm a funeral director and you really never know whats gonna happen. However, this could have been handled better. Very unfortunate.

Things happen !! More than 30 yrs ago, right after my father was buried, a lady showed up screaming that the burial site belonged to her !! Yes, it was true and my father had to be reburied at the correct site . That was really something !!

An..asthma attack?


**remembers that i have asthma**

**FREAKS OUT**

“My Bad” lol, I’m sorry, but that’s hysterical. I mean, he probably was as shocked as they were and really didn’t know what to say. People react differently to situations some people laugh when someone dies it’s the shock that gets them so I wouldn’t be mad at the worker.

[KateTheSleepyTeacher]

Oh hell nah. That poor The deserve a whole lot more than a "my bad".

[michaeltapia]

Should have hired those African guy dance with the coffin

[ELNS]

If they drop my casket into the ground from a broken machine i’ll be laughing from the afterlife

[ahill]

No disrespect intended, but accidents happen. "My bad" is just his way of saying sorry.

"Above all, be kind."
