* ''Literature/ArifuretaFromCommonplaceToWorldsStrongest'': [[spoiler:Hiyama, is mauled to death by the monsters after Nagumo (who was originally ome of his bullying victims) kicked him off the castle [[TheDogBitesBack as payback for seemingly killing Kaori earlier]] and his torn up dead body is later found by the rest of Nagumo's classmates, who would then bury him in a cheap "funeral" (ie. digging a badly-made hole and dump him in there) and are finally relieved that he's gone for good.]]

* ''Literature/{{Gate}}'': [[spoiler:Zorzal is given a ''very'' disgraceful send-off after being [[TheDogBitesBack assassinated by Tyuule]]: instead of being buried in a nobleman's funeral, his dead body is instead incinerated like the infamous war criminal he is.

* In ''The Life of Captain Marvel'', ComicBook/CarolDanvers visits her abusive father's grave for the first time since it went up and ends up destroying it out of spite.

* A Charles Exbrayat story has an important member of a French town's funeral attended by all the town's society, along with many lower class people. The two cops on his murder case overhear the conversations, and one quotes a Chinese proverb: "There is nothing lacking from a rich man's funeral, except someone to mourn him".

* In ''VideoGame/TheWitcher'' Emhyr var Emreis the Emperor of Nilfgaard, once he reclaims his rightull throne has all of the graves of the Usurper's fellow plotters disintered and uses the remains and gravestones to pave his ballroom. An act that earns him the moniker ''The White Flame that Dances on the Barrows of his Enemies.''

This may also overlap with AndThereWasMuchRejoicing, depending on the context. See also DishonoredDead, where the rites themselves are disrespectful or nonexistent.

** First, Scorpio Sky of SCU begins their speech saying that [[CatchPhrase "this is the worst funeral I have ever been in!"]].

* ''Literature/TheCurseOfChalion'': After Dondo dy Jironal is killed by the Bastard's death magic, Royina Sara wears "festival gear from three holidays jumbled together, draped and spangled with what looked like half the jewels from her jewel case" to his funeral. And during official Court Mourning for the chancellor's brother, she made a point to wear the Bastard's whites instead of purple and black mourning garb despite-or-rather-due-to the use of death magic (if not [[WhokilledTheAsshole the wielder]]) ''being public knowledge''.

* ''Literature/WorldOfTheFiveGods'': After Dondo dy Jironal is killed by the Bastard's death magic, Royina Sara wears Bastard's white and bright jewelry to his funeral, instead of mourning garb.

** Kyo's biological father chooses his mother's funeral ceremony to start scene/argument with Kyo, using the latter's inability to approach his mother's grave in front of the family as an excuse.
** Presumably, the only people that mourned Kyoko's death were Tohru, Uotani, Hanajima, and Tohru's paternal grandfather and going by Tohru's relatives' attitudes during the brief time Tohru came back to live with them, the people that may have come to Kyoko's funeral besides the aforementioned latter three probably didn't have very appropriate words either.

* Subverted in ''Manga/OnePiece'' by Kozuki Oden. He's first seen in person using the funeral pyre and bones of a friend to cook a pot of oden soup. This act outrages the late friend's family members, but Oden ignores them all, finishes his meal, thanks his late friend for the meal and promises that they will have the next meal together in the afterlife. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment It's clear that he's an iconoclast who doesn't care about societal norms, but genuinely have good intentions.]]

* In all versions of ''Film/{{Carrie}}'', [[spoiler:the final dream sequence in which Sue visits Carrie's grave]] has the reveal that someone graffitied the marker with the words "Carrie White burns in Hell!" [[spoiler:of course, being a dream sequence, it's left in the air whether or not someone actually did.]]

* In ''LightNovel/ClotureOfYellow'', one of the main characters, Elluka Clockworker, attends the funeral of an "old friend" Leonheart Avadonia, apparently just to call him an idiot, and leaves.

** [[Film/Scrooge1970 The 1970 version]] and [[WesternAnimation/ScroogeAChristmasCarol it's 2022 remake]] really kick things up a notch. Forget dancing on Scrooge's grave, Tom Jenkins and some other townsfolk dance on scrooge's ''freaking coffin as it's being hauled to the graveyard!''

** [[Film/Scrooge1970 The 1970 version]] and [[WesternAnimation/Scrooge2022 it's 2022 remake]] really kick things up a notch. Forget dancing on Scrooge's grave, Tom Jenkins and some other townsfolk dance on scrooge's ''freaking coffin as it's being hauled to the graveyard!''

* In one song by Music/ErsteAllgemeineVerunsicherung. The undead narrator's relatives "have a calculator instead of a bible in their hand, to divide up the inheritance", but he gets the last laugh: He wasted his fortune before he died, and just left them his cognac, [[INeedAFreakingDrink which they'll need.]]
* The music video for Music/{{Rammstein}}'s song "Haifisch" is set at singer Till Lindemann's funeral. The rest of the band discuss ''in front of his coffin'' who to replace him with. And while it's not clear what killed him [[spoiler: until the end, where it's revealed he faked his death]], the others clearly had fantasized about killing him.
* Siniestro Total's song "Bailaré sobre tu tumba" ("I Will Dance on Your Grave") threatens an unnamed person the band seems to be targeting with killing them in a number of unorthodox ways, then [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin dancing on their grave]].
* In Music/TaylorSwift's "Anti-Hero", the narrator describes a nightmare where she was murdered by a family member, and all that her family cares about is the inheritance. The music video adds to this by showing said family members clearly uncaring about her death, and instead ''live-streaming the funeral'' and wearing her clothes for attention. Once it's then revealed that [[SpitefulWill she only left them a total of 13 cents]], they get into an argument on who capitalized off of her name the best, descending into a brawl ''in the same room as the casket''.

** In "Wingmen", Robert Freeman's longtime "friend" Moe passes away, and he is then asked to read a pre-written eulogy. At first, everyone at the funeral acts as if Moe is the best at everything. He is being given credit for things Robert did in World War II, all the women swoon for him, etc. Robert finally breaks all the lies by announcing how much of a jerk Moe really was. Everyone else then starts agreeing and pointing out how he owed many of them money and other negative aspects about him.
** In "The Color Ruckus", Uncle Ruckus' father Mister Ruckus attends the funeral of his own mother Nelly Ruckus, not out of grief, but out of celebration ([[DysfunctionalFamily Nelly, Mister, and Uncle all hated each other]]).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' gives us an example in the episode "Murder, She Snored". Although the funeral occurs in Daria's dream, nobody really has anything nice to say. Ms. Barch uses it as an excuse for another feminist rant, Mack's eulogy basically insults Kevin, and to top it off, Daria and Jane wear Hawaiian shirts for the occasion [[note]]Though this was part of the detective show reference gags in the episode, Daria was standing in for Hawaiian shirt-loving P.I. [[Series/MagnumPI Thomas Magnum]][[/note]]. The 3 J's even mimic the tests done by the men in ''Charade'' to make sure that Kevin is dead.
* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': At Scrooge's funeral in "The 87-Cent Solution!", [[TheRival Flintheart Glomgold]] shows up in a white sequined suit and starts dancing to Music/DJKhaled's "All I Do is Win" and making it rain dollar bills while everyone else stares in disgust. [[CrossesTheLineTwice Extra diss points to Glomgold]] for ''[[ShakingTheRump twerking]]'' up against Scrooge's casket(!). He would have danced on the casket too, but an embarrassed [[CloudcuckoolandersMinder Zan Owlson]] stops him. [[FakingTheDead Scrooge is, in fact, just fine]], but the disrespect on Glomgold's part was absolutely real.

** A CutawayGag in the episode "A Fistful of Meg" has Meg imagining what her funeral would be like. Turns out Peter would just crash someone else's funeral and stuff Meg's body in their plot under the casket.

** Another cutaway in the episode "Saturated Fat Guy" has Chris [[RunsWithScissors running with scissors]] and [[{{Jerkass}} Peter]] telling him that [[GenderedInsult he runs like a girl]]. Chris [[ComicalOverreacting is so hurt that]] [[SuicideAsComedy he kills himself by stabbing himself in the neck with the scissors]], and at his funeral, he's in his casket wearing a dress.

* In ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', Luanne's ex Buckley does not get a fitting send-off at his funeral. Dale [[VomitDiscretionShot throws up into his coffin after seeing his remains]] and Luanne, who was [[EmotionSuppression suppressing her emotions]] by becoming a SoapboxSadie, raves about starving Irish kids by showing a picture of Bobby in his underwear. The only person who mourns him is Kahn, who had apparently befriended him offscreen because of how much he annoyed Hank. He was somewhat of an ass, but nowhere near deserving of having ''his corpse desecrated''.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'', P.A. is asked to give the eulogy at the funeral of a cranky neighbor no one liked. She's having a difficult time finding anything nice to say about her, but also realizes she can't just lie about her.

** On "Bart The General", Bart imagines what his funeral after being killed by Nelson would be like. Nelson takes a cupcake placed for Bart in the casket, then gives the body a few more punches "for the road". To a lesser extent, there's also Milhouse, who thanks Bart for dying since this means he didn't have to go to school for the day. Homer initially behaves the same ("yeah, and I got the day off from work!") but quickly switches to mournful via a nudge from Marge.
** In "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace", Homer has an ImagineSpot of his funeral. In it, the few attendees decide to skip the eulogy and just toss Homer in the grave off a dump truck while WesternAnimation/HeckleAndJeckle call him "a real sack of crap".
** In "Mother Simpson", after Homer fakes his death to get off working as a garbage collector, Marge is visited by Patty and Selma, who [[ObnoxiousInLaws quite gleefully]] try to gift Marge what they have been saving for ever since she married: a graveyard spot for Homer with accompanying tombstone that reads "Homer Simpson: we are richer for having lost him".

in ''VideoGame/Hitman2'' Zoe Washington will chastise Janus on his death bed, saying that she's glad he's dead. All the more satisfying when you kill her disguised as Janus

* After Fran's accidental death in ''Series/MamasFamily'', Thelma tries to give her a perfect funeral. However, it's ruined by such things as the coffin falling out the back of the hearse on the highway, Aunt Effie demanding the opal earrings Fran was buried in, and Thelma's grandson showing up at the house after his release from reform school, eating all the food, and then going on an emotional rant when he finds out he's been abandoned by his parents.

* ''VideoGame/Persona3'': during [[spoiler:Shinjiro]]'s service, you overhear two upperclassmen complaining about how they don't want to waste time sitting through it, and that he was probably 'just some punk'. One then asks your hero if he happened to know the guy, then dismisses the possibility, as you're just a ''junior''.
* In ''VideoGame/Persona4,'' Mr. Morooka openly badmouths Saki after her death, suggesting that she was promiscuous. Not because she ''was'', but because Morooka believes that ''all'' students, male ''or'' female, are.
* In ''VideoGame/Persona5'', midway through the game, [[spoiler:the principal of Shujin Academy]] suffers a mental breakdown, is hit by a truck and killed. Since most of the school hates him for [[spoiler:keeping Kamoshida around and covering for his crimes]], a lot of students badmouth him at the school assembly in which his death is announced.
* ''VideoGame/PlanetSide'' Guild HMX-1 held a funeral for one of their own, [=Raider05=], who had passed away due to a heart attack. HMX-1 Set the funeral up in an area where enemy players were banned from entering, however, another guild the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Enclave]], ostensibly members of the same faction (The Terran Republic) and therefore allowed into the zone, proceeded to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x_WLbjNDcg carpet bomb the funeral]]. As no one in the funeral was armed, except 7 snipers (for the 21 gun salute), the Enclave managed to kill everyone.
* At the end of ''VideoGame/{{Broforce}}'', your character pays his last respects to [[spoiler:Satan himself]]... by ''pissing on his grave''.

* In ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2'', Shogo interrupts Aisha's funeral in an attempt to challenge Johnny Gat and The Boss to a fight. Johnny [[TranquilFury offers him one chance to walk away]], which he mocks.

* Similar to the above, in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'', Killbane attacks the Saints at Johnny's funeral. Unlike the above, he isn't killed, though it does drive Shaundi berserk.

* [[spoiler: Aunt Sarah's]] funeral in ''VideoGame/TheDarkness 2'' gets interrupted by cultists. Just adding insult is that a stray blast hits the coffin and the corpse comes spilling out.
* In ''VideoGame/TheWitcher'' Emhyr var Emreis the Emperor of Nilfgaard, once he reclaims his rightull throne has all of the graves of the Usurper's fellow plotters disintered and uses the remains and gravestones to pave his ballroom. An act that earns him the moniker ''The White Flame that Dances on the Barrows of his Enemies.''
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', Garlean Emperor Solus zos Galvus passes away during the 2.X patch cycle.

in ''VideoGame/Hitman2'' Zoe Washington will chastise Janus on his death bed, saying that she's glad he's dead. All the more satifying when you kill her disguised as Janus

* In the NSFW comic ''Moon Over June'' Summer (who had to be goaded into attending the funeral in the first place) is surprised to find out her siblings wish to pay this upon their father. As it turns out, they suffered as much under his toxic masculinity as she did, if not more, because she at least got sent to boarding school. (Examples: Berating the boys if they weren't tackling each other hard enough, ripping an earring out of River's ear, encouraging Leaf to be more of a bully, ripped up a poem Skyy wrote because 'poetry is for faggots', and scared Lake enough to stay in the closet about being trans.) When she expresses a desire to piss on his grave upon finding out, they tell her to not do that...because she doesn't have enough piss for it yet.
--->'''Stone:''' Why do you think we're drinking Coors Light?\\
'''Skyy:''' Maximize the ammo production without getting too drunk to aim it properly!
* In ''WebComic/{{Shortpacked}}'', [[CardCarryingJerkass Mike]] shows up to Blaine's funeral in a Hawaiian shirt and party hat, throws confetti when Amber reveals just how [[AbusiveParents abusive Blaine was to her]] and her mother, and [[FlippingTheBird flips off]] Blaine's corpse, saying 'later jerkhole, I'm [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] your daughter'.

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_FL_f11cJE 'Man Needs Shite At Funeral']], ''Creator/{{Limmy}}'' (Brian Limond) improvises a tale about a man whose parents have just died. The man (called Craig) sits through the service needing to use the toilet, until he is called up to deliver his eulogy. He struggles to leave his seat, and people misinterpret this as him being overwhelmed by grief. Wincing in discomfort, Craig stands up at the podium. The story ends with Craig cursing his parents and defecating in their coffins, something so notable that it becomes commonplace and traditional at proceding funerals.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** When Mr. Burns is thought to be dead, various dignitaries come to his funeral just to spit in his grave. So many in fact, that the grave has to be drained afterwards.
** On "Bart The General", Bart imagines what his funeral after being killed by Nelson would be like.

* ''Manga/MarchComesInLikeALion'': Rather than attend his parents and sister's funeral just to mourn for them and comfort him, Rei's aunts and uncles use the occasion to argue over who takes over his grandfather's hospital in his father's place, with one aunt in particular expressing half-hearted sympathy and "promising" Rei that she will send him to a "nice" institution. Meanwhile, the rest of the family is gossiping about ''them''.

* ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'': It takes about three seconds after [[spoiler:Immortan Joe]] is killed for the nearest character [[SpitefulSpit to spit on the corpse]]. Later the body is dismembered by a crowd, though it's not entirely clear if the motivation is simply angry desecration or some form of prize-snatching (and whether the body parts might be desired in celebration of the death or to revere as sacred objects). [[ImAHumanitarian Or maybe the crowd is just that hungry]].
* In ''Film/TheDry'', Grant takes the opportunity to insult Luke's memory at his funeral, and directly to the faces of his grieving parents.

* In ''Literature/DragonBones'', the funeral of the protagonist's father is an occasion where almost no one is sad. The widow hums a little tune, not her fault, as she's TheOphelia, and fled to her own little world because her husband abused her. He brought it unto himself, so to speak. The protagonist, Ward, who has taken to ObfuscatingStupidity to protect himself from his abusive father, goes out of his way to act as inappropriately as possible. When his uncle explains to him, after his father has died, what just happened, he thinks for a moment before replying "I get his horse!". No one cries at the funeral, and the only ones present are family.
* A Charles Exbrayat story has an important member of a French town's funeral attended by all the town's society, along with many lower class people. The two cops on his murder case overhear the conversations, and one quotes a Chinese proverb: "There is nothing lacking from a rich man's funeral, except someone to mourn him".

* {{Creator/Amoridere}} uses this trope, twice:
** The first one, ''Resentment and Insanity'', has Toki mentioning she was going to dance at Kaeda's funeral. When the time does come, she dances as the proceedings are getting underway and, while the funeral is going on, she laughs (though, in that instance, it's hard to tell if it's genuine laughter).
** The second one happens in ''Sardonic Dance'', where the subject (wearing more "red than black") attends the funeral (of someone she's not fond of) specifically to dance on the grave of the deceased. Later, after getting a kick out of that, she would go to dance on graves at future funerals of people she's not fond of.
* ''Literature/WorldOfTheFiveGods'': After Dondo dy Jironal is killed by the Bastard's death magic, Royina Sara wears Bastard's white and bright jewelry to his funeral, instead of mourning garb.
* In the movie of ''Literature/TheGodfather'', [[AdaptationalAngstUpgrade Connie Corleone's anger at her brother Michael for the murder of her abusive husband Carlo lasts for years]]. In contrast, she gets over it quickly in the book, and even remarries before "the year of respect" is over.
* ''Literature/TheTamuli'': King Avin Wargunson's funeral devolves into [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing general mirth]], both because he had richly earned his ZeroPercentApprovalRating and because the manner of his death -- being nailed into a barrel of wine -- dyed him a comical shade of purple. People do mourn the loss... of the wine.

* Deconstructed in ''Series/TheSopranos'' episode "[[Recap/TheSopranosS3E2ProshaiLivushka Proshai Livuashka]]". Upon Livia's death, Janice decides to throw a wake for her despite her own expressed wish not to have one. After much phoney expressions of sympathy and mourning from all attendees, it [[OnlySaneMan finally takes Carmella]] to speak up that she was a horribly dysfunctional and manipulative woman who spread misery to everyone who spent time with her, and didn't want a funeral because she thought no-one would miss her. No-one argues with this assessment, least of all Tony (she even gets a hear hear).
* Shortly after [[spoiler:his inauguration as POTUS]], Frank Underwood in ''Series/HouseOfCardsUS'' visits his father's grave in Gaffney, ostensibly to pay his respects. When he is granted some "privacy" [[spoiler: by the Secret Service and the media]], he urinates on the headstone. They didn't get along.

* ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'':
** Charlie has a dream in which he attends his own funeral (as a ghost). At the funeral, women spit on his coffin, the eulogy is filled with derogatory jokes, and Alan ends the service by inviting the congregation back to his beach house for a wake/luau.
** Charlie's actual funeral in the first episode of season 9 ends up being similar. Alan's eulogy was interrupted by Charlie's ex-girlfriends insulting the deceased, (they wanted to spit on him too, but his remains were not "spittable") and Evelyn used the occasion to remind everyone that Charlie's house is up for sale.

* In an episode of ''Series/{{Cheers}}'', when an old teammate dies, Coach is asked to give a eulogy; but when Coach finds out that the old friend had made a pass at his wife, he's mortified, and at first, intends to invoke this trope to tell him off. However, it is Subverted because he can't bring himself to do it, and delivers a touching eulogy. However, this leads to one of the guests saying he's ''almost'' ready to forgive the man, indicating that the deceased made a pass at ''his'' wife, and it is soon revealed that this is true for ''all'' the men attending. A double subversion is risked when they want to hang him in effigy, but Diane, ever the peacemaker, starts singing Amazing Grace, and the subversion stands.
* The ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode "Advanced Gay" sees the death of Pierce's father. At the funeral, Pierce delivers a scathing eulogy. Arguably well deserved given his treatment of his son.
-->''"...Well, I'm not scared of you anymore, because you're dead and I'm not. So, I win. You can suck it."''
* On ''Series/AsTheWorldTurns'', the funeral of an AssholeVictim character was attended only by the five women he had terrorized throughout his time on the show. And it was clear that they wouldn't have come had his lawyer not sent invitations specifically requesting their presence. One woman went so far as to take a letter opener and ''stab his corpse through the heart'' to ensure that he would not be coming back from the dead--he had done so several times before--to harass them again. At this, one of other women snarked, "Well, if he wasn't dead before, he sure as hell is now."
* ''Series/BabylonFive'': When [[DevilInPlainSight Morden]] asks Vir [[ArmorPiercingQuestion what he wants]], Vir has an answer along the lines of this trope:
-->"I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they [[OffWithHisHead cut off your head]] and [[DeadGuyOnDisplay stick it on a pike]] as a warning to the next ten generations that [[DealWithTheDevil some favors come with too high a price]]. I would look up at your lifeless eyes and wave... like this."\\
<waggles fingers, smiling>\\
"Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"
** Later, [[spoiler:Morden is killed and put on display in exactly the same manner as Vir described. Vir then proceeds to do the mocking wave he'd promised to do before.]]
* ''Series/MadMen'' makes a point of showing how an ad executive's memorial service is populated mainly by his clients, who are now up for grabs, and people from rival agencies who are there to size them up. Another time, at Roger's mother's funeral, Don shows up drunk, disrupts proceedings by throwing up, and has to leave, and Bob Benson (a new guy not important enough to be invited) later gets reprimanded by Ken for sending food in an inappropriate attempt to ingratiate himself.
* ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' had an episode in which Rose finally tells off a very mean and bitter old woman to death. Eventually, while Rose organized a funeral out of guilt and to pay respects, nobody but an old woman shows up to pay her last respects. At first, the audience was treated to a beautiful eulogy, which was then subverted when the old woman realized that it was for the wrong woman. Once the speech giver was told who the funeral was for, she promptly turns around and kicks the coffin!
* In the ''Series/HouseMD'' episode "Birthmarks", Dr. House is forcibly dragged to his estranged, abusive father's funeral and made to give the eulogy. He takes the opportunity to gather tissue for a long-awaited DaddyDNATest.
* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'': Marshall visits the grave of his recently deceased father to have a private moment with him, but he's repeatedly interrupted by tagalongs and the event soon becomes a tailgate barbecue. Marshall is deeply offended when one of the partygoers uses Marshall's father's grave to pop the cap off a beer bottle.

* ''Series/{{Friends}}'' of all shows references a real life example of this trope in one episode where Chandler goes to Joey's parents' house. Joey mentions his grandmother is there, and that she was one of the first few people to spit on Mussolini's dead body.
* In the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' episode featuring ''Film/SamsonVsTheVampireWomen'', Mike had the bots write letters to TV's Frank, who [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence moved on to Second Banana Heaven]]. However, Servo and Crow don't take theirs seriously one bit, which Mike scolds them over as Frank treated them nicely.
