Can you imagine stumbling across your own obituary online? That would be a major surprise!

While it sounds almost too unbelievable to be true, it actually happened to a woman over in the United Kingdom! She received tons of phone calls from friends who also saw the obituary online despite the fact that she was still alive and well. How does this happen?

Mom Finds Her Own Obituary Online

There would be no greater shock than reading an article online talking about your death. Certainly, you’d know it wasn’t real but…would you? Would there be a second that you have to think, “am I actually dead?” It would be strange to read your own obituary and it’s not just your name–it’s all your info too!

According to Metro, Faye Finaro, from Nottingham, was given quite the surprise when she saw her own name and photograph appear in the obituary section of the Mansfield Chad, a local publication. It also included an option to send flowers to her grieving family! It sounds like the 39-year-old mom wasn’t even aware of the post until a friend called to check in. Granted, not sure what calling your dead friend would do? Kind of an interesting choice to make there. However, she answered the phone because she was, in fact, not dead at all.

Naturally, she took to Facebook to reassure her friends and family that she was not dead and is currently alive and well. She even emailed the website to say that there had clearly been a mistake. How does she think it happened? She tells Metro, “I believe what’s happened is there must have been some crossover with the celebrations page they were doing and all the photos and captions were left in the database before they were outsourced to Legacy.” According to Metro, Finaro had recently won an award for her business and her friend searched her when she found the obituary.

A spokesperson for Legacy tells Metro, “We are indeed aware of the issue and we are in correspondence with Ms. Finaro about the matter.” That would be a weird thing to come across! Hopefully if it ever happens to you it says nice things! I wonder if she received flowers or not. After having this happen and having some people believe there’s a chance you might actually be dead it would be a bit of a bummer if no flowers ended up coming. I’m sure some are on their way, even if it’s as a joke. That would be pretty funny.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

  • Dave's Other Job Offer

    Can you imagine Dave in any other job? It would definitely be interesting! Well, it could soon become a reality. Dave received an offer from an erotic novelist to record the audio versions of her books and although he considered it, he doesn’t think his wife or the company would approve of him taking it as a side gig. I would buy that audio book!

  • Dave's Got Drugs In His Pockets

    Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a guy who claimed the drugs in his pockets weren’t his and neither were the pants he was wearing. Dave then plays the song, ‘Drugs in my Pockets’ by The Monks but no one on the show has ever heard that song before. Turns out, the song isn’t bad! Well, at least as bad as Dave’s version of it. Check out BOTH versions above!

  • Dave's Plane Ass Incident

    Somehow, Dave always ends up in the most awkward situations. There’s one common denominator: himself. Dave was involved in an uncomfortable situation on an airplane over the weekend. He accidentally squirted hand sanitizer on a man’s ass that was standing in front of him and wanted to know if he handled the situation correctly.

  • Dave's Patio Furniture Update

    It’s the update we’ve been waiting for! Last year, Dave made a delivery mistake and sent outdoor patio furniture to people in Florida after meeting them one time. He shares an update after finding out the people kept the furniture for themselves and never said anything. Would you have done what Dave did? What would you have done in this situation?

  • Who Won't Stop Texting Dave?

    Technology has come a long way over the years. However, it still has a way to go. Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about an odd problem that Dave is experiencing involving his robot vacuum. It won’t stop texting him saying that it’s stuck, even when it’s not plugged in. Everyone says this is a problem only gadget man Dave would have to deal with.
