SunLife's new Cost of Dying report has revealed this year’s most unique funeral requests, which include the deceased asking to be dressed as Santa, ice cream vans at the funeral and mourners dressing up as Sugar Puffs’ famous mascot, the Honey Monster. According to new data from the report, 18% of funerals now include personal and unusual requests ranging from fairly simple wishes like ‘no black’, to more unexpected requests such as a sword demonstrator, being buried with a bottle of Buckfast and one man even asking his family to eat their body.
SunLife has compiled a list of some of the more ‘unusual requests’ from this year’s Cost of Dying report.
