Man's coffin kills wife on way to cemetery
A traffic accident hurls coffin against the back of woman's neck
SAO PAULO, Brazil - Police say a woman has died on the way to a cemetery when a traffic accident hurled her husband's coffin against the back of her neck.
Police said 67-year-old Marciana Silva Barcelos was in the front passenger seat of the hearse when the accident occurred Monday in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul.
Barcelos died instantly.
Her 76-year-old husband, Josi Silveira Coimbra, died Sunday of a heart attack while dancing at a party.
The driver of the hearse and Barcelos' son suffered minor injuries.

They didn't secure that thing?? Sounds like the funeral home owes somebody some $$.

Well, certainly they'll do her funeral for free and the beneficiary of her estate sounds like a good choice to me and if there is none, they should donate money to the heart attack foundation or the broken neck foundation. Either one seems reasonable to me.

I'm guessing the son inherits.

Maybe the son was in charge of tying down the coffin.
Of course dad's tombstone now says, "Last Laugh"
