Spooky 
Seemed like a catchy title, but there’s really nothing hilarious about it, just tragic and bizarre.
These photos were taken at the Fairview Cemetery, in Springfield, where 79-year-old Norman Thompson, member of the Antioch Shrine Funster Clown Unit, was buried, on May 29. His clown-friends dressed up for the occasion and honored Norman, for the last time.
It looks bizarre, I know, but I was reading about this on the web, and found out that this is a tradition for clowns and magicians. Apparently this is the way they show their respect to their fallen colleagues.

Mary Tyler Moore cannot stop laughing.

That’s all i could think about looking at those photos XD
I was expecting him to be dressed up as a clown for the funeral.
Is it bad that I laughed when I drove by the cemetery while this funeral was happening? I couldn’t help myself.
seems like something they should have done on Six Feet Under
Such a weird mix of tragedy and happiness. Then again, I suppose clowns are. In a way they’re very strong photographs.
