We all want to be remembered and honored when we die, and our funeral is the send-off. But Grandma Lill has kept her funeral plans simple and laid out some ground rules for her last big party, and they’re hilarious.
Some people put an awful lot of planning into their funerals, which is weird, because they’re not even going to be there. For many, it’s a way to ensure that they are remembered the way they want to be.
Personally, I am going to have a Great Pyramid built in the middle of Times Square. It will be filled with all my ex-girlfriends, and the billions in precious stones and gold I have collected.
It’ll be a subtle affair.
But Grandma Lill has kept it simple for her funeral. She only has three rules.
- Cry, but not that much. Don’t go overboard and make a fool of yourself, she says.
- Bertha Isn’t Invited. I don’t know who Bertha is, but she’s getting hate from beyond the grave.
- Get drunk afterwards. Is it even a funeral if you don’t drink away your sorrows and reminisce?
I think, as ground rules, Grandma Lill has nailed the foundations of a good funeral. Nobody wants Bertha around. She’s a total killjoy.
Grandma Makes Light Of A Dark Situation
Death comes for us all, and as we get older, it becomes more of a reality. Grandma Lill has hit it head-on with her comedic take on how she wants her funeral to go down. She has the wisdom and clarity of an old woman and has shared it with us all.
In a previous video, Grandma Lill does the ‘Get Ready With Me’ trend. Hilariously, it’s a GRWM for the funeral of a man she knew. Lill is 90, so people around her will be dropping by the day. This makes something like a funeral quite commonplace, and she adds a funny twist to it.

She opens the video with an introduction for the recently deceased. “I got ghosted last week. The guy became a ghost. I’m sad, but we only had one date.” It’s a real and very funny way to look at our own mortality. As she puts it, she and the girls are going to make a day of it.
Grandma Lill knows that a funeral doesn’t need to be all tears and sadness. It’s supposed to be a celebration of life. So, have a cry, but not too much. And make sure to refill those tears with a drink or two.
