Woman Gets Call About Her Own Funeral

Tweet

Imagine her surprise since she's not dead. Associated Press reported 5/1/08 that Rose Griffin, of Methuen, Ma. got the call at a late hour from someone looking for her son, who was not there at the time. When she used her caller ID to call back, the man informed her that he was a funeral director trying to make arrangements for her son's deceased mother. The 75-year-old Griffin told him: "You're talking to the dead person."Joe Cataudella, co-owner of Cataudella Funeral Home, said someone had played a "cruel prank" and left a message with the funeral home's answering service that Griffin had died. Griffin, a Wal-Mart greeter, joked that she expects to be around for some time because she's mean and only the good die young. She says she has no idea who was behind the prank. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24416446/?GT1=43001 Have you ever gotten a call like that or been the victim of a prank in really bad taste?
