An excerpt from The Mirror -
Funeral 'crashers' actually quite common - and they have different reasons for doing it
It turns out that funeral crashers really do exist, whether they're hungry or just a tad lonely, they could be coming to a funeral near you

You’ve heard of the film Wedding Crashers, right? To be honest, it’s a pretty good movie, and in some cases, they actually do exist. But, have you heard of funeral crashers?
Yes, you read that correctly. Individuals that turn up to funerals of people they don’t even know, just because...well, why not?
They are quite obviously known as ‘funeral crashers’ and there are actually many weird and wonderful reasons as to why people decide to get dressed up and attend a funeral of someone they don’t know.
Take Theresa Doyle for example, as reported by The Metro a few years back. This peckish funeral crasher in Slough made headlines for turning up at strangers' wakes, enjoying the free buffet, and taking anything else she fancied home in a Tupperware.
At the time, her neighbour said: “Theresa has been doing this for about 14 years now, but the bizarre thing is, she gate-crashes people's funerals and then is completely brash about it.
