I think being taxidermied would be hilarious.

My mother was buried in her clown costume. Several clowns attended as well, and someone played a funeral march on a kazoo. I kept seeing people I didn't know trying very, very hard to be solemn, and then catching themselves smirking and looking horrified. She would have enjoyed that just as much as I did.

That sounds like the most enjoyable funeral I've ever heard of. I've been to way too many funerals, and every single one of them has been weird and sucked. I hate the whole concept. Maybe I should join the clown industry.

Is that the first line of a novel: "My mother was buried in her clown costume." I'd read it.
