A man has recounted the weird and wonderful time his partner celebrated his birthday by gathering all their friends together for a surprise funeral where they pretended he was dead
He wasn’t expecting to walk in and see this on his birthday
When we think of birthday parties, we might imagine bright coloured streamers, cake and lots of fun and games.
But when one man arrived at a celebration to mark his 33rd year of living, this was not what greeted him.
Instead Eli McCann found himself walking into his very own funeral.
His boyfriend Skylar Westerdahl (who is now his husband) had come up with the quirky idea to throw him a funeral because he felt that people shouldn’t have to die in order for their friends to say why they loved them.
Skylar decorated a friend’s house for the occasion, creating a fake casket made out of an ironing board and pillows.
He also hung up photos of Eli around the place and arranged for all of the guests to dress in black.
