Irishman plans 'funeral prank' for loved ones in bittersweet farewell

An Irishman, Shay Bradley, recently died after a long battle with an undisclosed disease but planned a funeral prank before he passed away. The prank has since then garnered a lot of attention on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. The popular video, filmed at a burial ground in South Dublin, showcases the individuals who went to his memorial service, surrounding his grave and listening to Irish bagpipe music. At the point when the bagpipes stop, grievers are somewhat frightened when a man begins thumping and says "hi." When they understood what's going on, they start laughing.

As the video continues, Shay asked the people present to let him out and said that he could hear everyone. In addition to that, he asked where the priest was and asked if everyone realized that he was in the coffin. 

"I just called to say goodbye"

The hilarious video concluded with Bradley singing a line from a Neil Diamond song that went like “Hello again, hello. I just called to say, goodbye"

After the video went viral, Shay's daughter stated that it was her dad's wish before he died and got really emotional when she said that her dad was always the one playing pranks and gave everybody a hearty laugh. Lastly, she added that he was a man who was dearly loved by everyone.
