Is Pseudo funeral the next big thing?
Chinese student, Zeng Jia, staged her own funeral in Wuhan, central China’s Hubei province on March 30. According to reports, Zeng hired a team of cosmetic artists to make her appear like a corpse. Zeng, 22 laid in a coffin for an hour pretending to be dead while mourners walked past, befittingly paying their tributes.
“I feel so good after coming out of the coffin,” Zeng told China Daily.
The inspiration for the fake funeral came from an intuition she had about burial ceremonies after her grandfather’s recent death.
“It struck me that people spend all that time and effort on someone when they are gone and they cannot appreciate it,” Zeng said after the service. “I wanted to see what people would think of me so I decided to hold my funeral while I could enjoy it.” She added.
It is not clear whether mourners were aware it was a pseudo-funeral initially, but was clear in the end when she jumped out of the coffin and gave a speech.
