Mourners stunned as hearse arrives at funeral with floral tribute reading ‘C***’… and relatives also had word printed on T-shirts

One mourner said: 'I was mortified. That was also my aunt’s favourite word, but we’d never put it on her funeral car'

MOURNERS were stunned as a hearse arrived at a funeral with a floral tribute reading “C***”.

Relatives of the deceased also wore T-shirts bearing the swearword — apparently an affectionate nickname for the ­person who died.

Hearse curse ... tribute flowers spelling out swear word shock mourners at funeral

But other families paying respects to their dead were left in disbelief.

One mourner said: “I was mortified. That was also my aunt’s favourite word, but we’d never put it on her funeral car.”

Mortlake Crematorium in Richmond, South West London, did not comment.

But a worker said: “They were allowed in, but told to get rid of the flowers straight after.

"Leaving them wouldn’t have been appropriate.”
