Can you tell us more about what it entails to be a clown for childrenâs funerals?
A clown is a person who entertains people by making people laugh. This is done at funerals, by clowning on a corpse. I will be going into detail in my next two posts
tell me more about clowning on a corpse
Here are some of the things to keep in mind.
- Your clowning cannot be funny if you yourself are a dead body. (You need to be either dead or alive to clown on a dead body)
- The clown should not be a celebrity
- You need to wear a top hat, a monocle, and a long flowing cape; there is also a ceremonial sword and some kind of âclownâ cane, but the cane is used only on ceremonial occasions
- You need to have a âsideshowâ theme â it should be clear what you are clowning on (e.g., a âwedding clownâ might clown on the bride and groomâs first dance, a âbachelor clownâ might clown on a young womanâs wedding dress)
- Your clowning on the corpse should reflect the deceasedâs life or beliefs. e.g., you would not clown on the late King of France
- To clown on a clown, you must be a person who has been alive and well during a time when other humans also were alive and well; there are various traditions about what period of history is best suited to this, but the era of the early 20th century is probably the best one (this requires you to be alive at the time of the funeral).
- Clowning on a corpse is usually accompanied by an exhortation â the exhortation can be about anything from the deceasedâs achievements to their love for one particular person to the ineffability of their love for humanity to the impermanence of their flesh. It is not uncommon for there to be multiple exhortations â e.g. a clown might clown on the achievements of a famous athlete, then after the clown has finished, the clown might say something like âhe was kind of a jerk anywayâ
- There are various other conventions about clowning on a corpse, but I will not describe them here
Too late Frank. Iâve already clowned the late King of France.
