Exaggerated compliments people make about a
person who has just died. He may have been a horrible
person in life, but you can bet that almost everyone
will have great things to say about this person as he lies in his coffin.
"Yes, Joe was killed in the act of trying to rob a bank; yes, he was armed, and threatened to kill the teller; but just think what a good son he was to his
mom! Remember how he went out on a snowy night to get her cold medicine? Joe
will really be missed for the kind things he did."
"Yes, Joe always meant well. He just wanted the
money to buy a birthday present for his grandma. What a caring young man he was".
Thoughts of the minister who is about to deliver the eulogy: "
Boy, I've never heard such Funeral Fibs in my life!"
