Meet R.T. Foard: The Original Obituary Roasters

Now, before you go thinking I'm making light of a serious matter, let me assure you, these folks at R.T. Foard are doing their darnedest to make sure no one's funeral is a total downer. Based in Delaware, they've been writing obituaries since 1886, but it's only in recent years that they've gained internet fame for their hilarious, heartwarming, and sometimes just plain weird tributes.

You might be wondering, "How do they do it?" Well, it turns out, the secret to a good obituary is the same as the secret to a good joke: timing, delivery, and a dash of absurdity. And boy, do these guys nail it.

When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade... Or A Really Great Obituary

Take, for instance, the case of Evelyn O'Toole. Now, Evelyn wasn't your average Joe. She was a woman of many talents, but her true calling was making lemonade. And I mean literally making lemonade. The woman could turn a lemon into a party in your mouth. So, when her obituary mentioned that she'd "finally run out of lemons," you know she'd left this world on her own terms.

Or how about Harold 'Hal' Kaiser? Hal was a man of many loves: his family, his friends, and his beloved Corvette. So, when his obituary read, "Hal was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, and his Corvette," you knew the man had left a void that could only be filled by a '57 Chevy.

Surprising Facts: Obituaries Aren't Just For The Dead Anymore

But R.T. Foard doesn't just stop at the deceased. Oh no, they've taken the obituary game to a whole new level. They've started writing pre-need obituaries - that's right, you can plan your own send-off while you're still kicking. Talk about forward-thinking!

And get this, folks: these pre-need obituaries are editable. So, if you've got a change of heart about that 'loving pet' you wanted mentioned, you can just log in and give ol' Fido the boot. It's like your own personal Wikipedia page, but with a much shorter shelf life.

When In Doubt, Punch Up The Punches

Now, you might be thinking, "That's all well and good, but what if I'm not the punny type?" Well, fear not, dear reader, because R.T. Foard has a solution for that too. They offer a 'Pun Package' - yes, you read that right. For a small fee, they'll pepper your obituary with so many puns, your loved ones will be laughing through their tears.

And if that's not enough to make you say, "Sign me up," then I don't know what will. But hey, don't just take my word for it. Check out R.T. Foard's website for yourself. Just be prepared to laugh, cry, and maybe even plan your own send-off. After all, as they say, "You can't take it with you, so you might as well laugh about it on your way out."
