Line 37:
* In ''The Death of Groo,'' [[Groo the Wanderer]] goes to his own funeral, expecting there to be much sadness at his demise. There isn't. Everybody at that funeral had had endless trouble from him, and they were all delighted at his "death."
* [[Deadpool]] did this in spirit form. He found that he was able to possess people and had no end of fun causing trouble, culminating in a giant brawl between Juggernaut, Wolverine, T-Ray, and pretty much every other minor character to appear in Deadpool's book up to that point.
* When [[Norman Osborn]] showed up alive during ''[[The Clone Saga]]'', he claimed to have done this, watching from a distance simply out of a sick sense of amusement. To make this even worse, the body being laid to rest was that of [[Disposable Vagrant| a vagrant he had murdered]] in order to fake his death.

** In an earlier part, Emma, Melanie, and Nick all find themselves attending a funeral for two. One of them is Emma's funeral, which she figures and doesn't freak out.
* ''[[Just Taken]]'': [[Ace of Base| Linn]] attended the funeral of her original body. Her parents were completely unaware of what happened to her remains until Joans had mentioned it.

Line 113 ⟶ 114:
* There was a Japanese police drama in which a funeral is staged as a sting to draw out a scam artist who shows up at funerals, claims to have known the deceased and asks the family for payment of debts the deceased supposedly owes him. The "deceased", of course, attends the funeral.
* In the ''[[Leverage]]'' episode "The Two Live Crew Job" Sophie (going by the name Katherine) poses in a coffin after someone sends her a bomb in a flower vase. She listens to the other members of the team eulogize her (including Parker, who almost blows the con). Nate closes the casket and taps on it, which is Sophie's cue to drop out through the false bottom. She even makes an appearance a minute later, wearing a veiled hat.
** And ''again'' in "The San Lorenzo Job". Nate even [[
* In a long string of pranks, a bar owner rival of ''[[Cheers]]'' fakes his own death, funeral, and is even buried inside a coffin to prank Sam Malone. After Sam breaks down and accepts the death is not a hoax, the "dead" man pops out of the office and reveals it was just an elaborate prank.
* Happens to Hobbes in ''[[The Invisible Man (TV series)|The Invisible Man]]'' when the Chinese are after him. He is spying from afar on the funeral, but is kidnapped by the Chinese anyway, as they don't buy the hoax. Also, the only one of the Agency who wasn't told was Claire, as they needed real tears.

** It happens again in season 9, to Simmons this time. At first he's excited at the prospect, but he becomes rather less so when the best things his teammates can come up with are "He talked a lot," and "He liked gum."
{{quote|'''Simmons''': I never thought my death could somehow be worse than my life, but here it is. Bitchin'.}}
* There's a rather peculiar instance in an ''[[Everyday Weirdness]]'' story called "[https://web.archive.org/web/20140720044828/http://everydayweirdness.com/e/20090204/ Procession]."
* The Leet World has one of sorts, where Player, having survived a grenade injury, makes the rest of the team hold a funeral for him, so he can see what it's like.
* In [[A Very Potter Musical]], Ginny says that this is what she would do if she had an invisibility cloak.
