Felix “Bush” Breazeale holds funeral for himself 5 years before actual death
SUMMARY: Felix Bush Brazil, a 74-year-old farmer from Rhea County, Tennessee, decided to hold his own funeral to hear what people would say about him before he died. His “living funeral” on June 26, 1938, attracted 8,000 attendees from four states, who gathered to witness what the Knoxville Journal labeled a “live corpse.” Sitting in his homemade casket, Bush enjoyed what he called “the finest funeral I ever heard.” He passed away on February 9, 1943, but only six people attended his actual funeral, reflecting a stark contrast to the turnout five years earlier.
