A young South African lady was given the responsibility of reading her late grandfather’s obituary at his funeral.

She happily took on the role and prepared the day before, but things got a bit rocky when she had to stand in front of grieving guests. The nerves got to her, and she flopped the whole thing.

The younger shared footage of the disastrous incident on TikTok, and it went viral. Almost half a million people saw her clip in the last 24 hours.

Youngster reads obituary at grandfather’s funeral 

This past weekend, a young lady was entrusted with a role she had never filled before. Her family gave her the responsibility to read the obituary at her late grandfather’s funeral.

She stood in front of the grieving guests and stumbled over her words. After realising that she flopped a bit, she chuckled at her performance midway.

One of the people present at the funeral was stunned by her act and filmed the incident. The youngster also found herself hilarious and posted the now-viral video on TikTok.

Guests at the funeral kept things neutral and continued humming as she read the obituary in front of them. The youngster commended Avbob for being polite for not taking her off the stage.

Funerals are one of the saddest events in everyone’s lives. Accepting that a loved one is gone forever is one of the hardest things to process.

People grieve differently and oftentimes heal differently, too. In order to give their deceased loved one, African families gather all the people who were close to their late relative and plan a dignified send-off.

Most people are fully prepared for the hefty payment of the entire funeral by joining funeral policies earlier in life. Some open up a family stokvel so that everyone can chime in and give a bit of what they have to give their loved one a dignified send-off.

The funeral often comes together one way or another. Today, people need fancy tent decorations and multiple speakers to remember the life of the deceased.
