Obituaries are usually sombre, morbid or sad.
Not this one.
This tribute to Mary ‘Pat’ Stocks, a 94-year-old mother of four who died on July 1, is bloody hilarious.
It begins:
"She left behind a hell of a lot of stuff to her daughter and sons who have no idea what to do with it."
So if you're looking for 2 extremely large TV's from the 90s, a large ceramic stork (we think) umbrella/cane stand, a toaster oven (slightly used) or even a 2001 Oldsmobile with a spoiler (she loved putting the pedal to the metal), with only 71,000 kilometers and 1,000 tools that we aren't sure what they're used for. You should wait the appropriate amount of time and get in touch.
Tomorrow would be fine."
The obit appeared in Canada's newspaper The Star. Pat's son Sandy includes a disclaimer that it's not a pawn shop ad - they just want to get rid of her stuff.
Sandy told Buzzfeed Canada his sister originally planned to write the obituary. When she was too upset, he took the matter into his own hands. “I told them, I’m going to write it and it’s not going to be an ordinary obit."
