LOL!

Sounds like it's become a bit of a tradition for old deceased dudes. ;D

Actually the tradition is for anyone -- the idea is purely to draw attendance to the funeral, which is regarded as a sign of good luck for the departed. They'd be using bouncy castles if that was more cost effective at drawing crowds.

(...cuing bouncy castle puns in 3... 2...)
