comment
A character shows up alive to their own funeral, whether through deliberately faking it, being mistakenly declared dead, resurrection, or Time Travel. The Not Quite Dead character may either reveal themself to be alive or attend the funeral in disguise and leave with no one the wiser. Or sometimes the character won't even know they've been presumed dead until they walk through the door…
Compare Whodunnit to Me?. May cross over with Not Now, We're Too Busy Crying Over You. See also The "Fun" in "Funeral", of which this could be a subtrope.
As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Season 2 of Sherlock ends with the titular character being forced to jump off a building by the Big Bad while Watson witnesses the fall. The final scene shows Watson and Mrs. Hudson at the grave, Watson quietly begging Holmes to not be dead. As he's walking away, the camera pans and shows Holmes watching from the cover of a nearby copse. Of course, the real puzzle for the audience wasn't whether or not he survived (since that's a foregone conclusion for anyone familiar with the source material), but how. The season 3 premiere explained that.

In The Living Wake, K. Roth finds out he's dying, so not only does he organize his own wake and personally invite everyone in town, he attends to deliver his own eulogy, and has a little song and dance number that ends with him collapsing right into his already-prepared coffin. Now, that is talent.

Raffles: A. J. Raffles did this as part of a gambit to throw a too-persistent ex-girlfriend off his trail; it was the second time he'd been thought to be dead, but the first funeral. The other time, he'd jumped from a ship in the Mediterranean, and been mistakenly reported to have washed up dead on shore.

More like "Attending Your Own Wake": In Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 5: Rise of the Pirate God, when Guybrush (as a ghost) goes through a rip in the Crossroads to Club 41 before going to the Manatee Mating Grounds in order to find the Voodoo Lady's locket (via another rip), Bugeye tells him to be quiet when he and W.P. Grindstump are "in the middle of a pirate wake", and Guybrush is surprised to find his own body holding a dartboard and wearing a party hat. He can look around the club and talk to Grindstump to find out what happened after Guybrush died at the hands of LeChuck. Afterwards, he can exit his own wake and continue on in his quest to get back into his own body, as before.

Bones:
In "The Pain In The Heart", Booth takes advantage of an injury to fake his own death and attends his own funeral as a member of the three-volley salute, and outs himself by apprehending a suspect. The suspect told the FBI the next time they'd see him would be at Booth's funeral.
In "The Turn In The Urn", Brennan and Booth are attending the funeral of one of the museum's donors when the donor walks in and sends everyone away. It turns out it was a friend of his who'd died, and they were similar enough in appearance that the decomposition (not to mention that the death occurred in a private vault that the donor was more likely to be in) made it "obvious" who'd died. The donor himself didn't show up beforehand because he'd been in a locked-down rehab facility and only heard what happened when he'd returned.

Similar to the Murphy Brown example above, Red Forman on That '70s Show has a brief dream of his own funeral when his neighbor Bob cuts down a tree which almost falls on him. His wife Kitty is the only one who attends. This inspires him to be a nicer person and he has another vision at a party where his funeral is similar to the party. However, he decides this isn't like him and goes back to being a Jerkass.

The Simpsons:
Subverted in "Simpsons Tall Tales", where Bart and Nelson play the roles of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. After a scene implies they've been hanged, they're shown hiding while their funeral is going on, grinning widely... only for it to be revealed that it's merely their corpses about to be lowered in the coffins (apparently there was a very good embalmer on hand or something, but probably Rule of Funny is a more apt explanation).
In "Lisa the Tree Hugger", Lisa lives in a redwood tree to prevent it from being cut down. She sneaks away one night to spend it with the family, but at the same time the tree was struck by lightning and destroyed. The entire town believes her to be dead and holds a large funeral for her, where the Rich Texan announces that he is turning the redwood forest into an amusement park in Lisa's memory. Lisa dramatically arrives and announces her outrage.

At the end of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, Joseph Joestar returns home to New York and hears his friends and family are attending a funeral; only when he arrives, sees their shocked faces, and finally looks at the headstone does he realize it's his funeral. As it turned out, Joseph was in traction for two weeks following the Final Battle and asked Suzi Q to send a telegram to let everyone know he was alright (and that the two of them had gotten married in the meantime). Suzi...forgot.

In one episode of Castle, a suspect got caught this way — he faked his death but couldn't resist coming to the funeral while wearing a fake beard to listen to what people say about him and experience how thrilling the deception is. The team catches him because it's the kind of thing Castle would do and he thinks that the suspect is a bigger Attention Whore than he is.

However, most of them are unaware that "Nathan" is really a shapeshifted Sylar brainwashed into believing that he's Nathan by Ma Petrelli and Matt Parkman, and the body being burned is merely a shapeshifter who died while assuming Sylar's appearance.

There's a hideous glurge that periodically makes the rounds in email: it's a chronicle of child abuse and murder, told from the victim's point of view, and ends with the lines "My name is Sarah/And I am but three/And tonight my daddy/Murdered me." Multiple people have written to Snopes asking whether this is a true story. (Their response: "As unlikely as it might be that a three-year-old could possess the language skills necessary to compose such a piece, it's even more unlikely that anyone could describe her own murder in the first person.")

At the end of the Prologue mission in Grand Theft Auto V, after executing a bank robbery and escaping from the local cops, Michael de Santa and Brad Snider were both shot by a sniper. Only the third robber, Trevor Philips, managed to escape unharmed. The next scene then showed Michael's funeral. The camera then panned out to reveal a healthy-looking and still-alive Michael, watching from the sidelines in disguise. It was revealed later on in the game that Michael faked his own death because he wanted to get out of the criminal life and made a deal with a corrupt FIB agent named Dave Norton.(Michael wore body armor when he was shot). Next, the body inside his grave actually contained Brad's corpse in it (Dave accidentally shot Brad lethally in the chest when he stepped in front of Michael). As for Trevor, he believed that Michael is dead and Brad got sent to prison (Dave impersonated Brad by sending 'letters from prison' to Trevor). Until the mission Fame Or Shame, that is.

The Dukes of Hazzard: Played for Laughs in several episodes, including:
"The Ghost of the General Lee": A wake for Bo and Luke is held after it is merely assumed they had drowned when the General Lee is found submerged in a lake and they are nowhere to be found. (What had happened was that a pair of crooks stole the General Lee while Bo and Luke were skinny dipping, and Rosco gives chase, assuming he's chasing his longtime adversaries ... until the General Lee is driven into a lake. The bad guys flee, and Rosco comes to his erroneous conclusion when he is unable to find any bodies.)
"Ding Dong, the Boss is Dead": Boss fakes his own death to escape suffering a crueler fate from a mob boss who went to prison on his testimony ... only the catch is the mobster is coming to Boss' visitation in Hazzard to make sure Hogg is indeed dead.
"Too Many Roscoes": As was the case with Bo and Luke in the earlier episode, a wake for Rosco takes place after it is merely assumed he had drowned when his patrol car is run off the road and into a lake by a gang of bank robbers (including one that is an exact double of Rosco), and a hasty search of the lake by Bo and Luke finds no body. The wake ends when the phoney Rosco is seen walking to Boss' house (where the wake takes place).

All My Children: Journalist Edmund Grey is killed by a car bomb when he refuses to stop his investigation of a corrupt politician. As his grief-stricken wife, brother, and numerous loved ones gather for his funeral, who should walk in but Edmund himself, asking "Who died?". It turns out it was the corrupt politician's hitman who was blown up. Thousands of miles away, Edmund had no idea what had happened and that entire town was grieving for him.

In the Arrested Development episode "Good Grief", bounty hunter Ice reports that his search for George Sr. ended with the discovery that he was killed by the guards in the Mexican prison where he was being held. While the family prepares for his funeral, George-Michael finds George Sr. hiding in a hole near the model home. It turns out he bribed the guards to fake his death, then made his way back to the U.S. He's then able to observe his memorial service from the attic.

In Discworld fic The Price of Flight, two of the Air Watch pilots killed in action fighting Elves over Lancre show up for their own memorial service. Obligingly, the other flying Witches of the Air Watch have left gaps for them in the ranks on parade. as the first people to be killed in a declared Air War over the Discworld, not only Death, but War, turns up to welcome them to the other side. War points out to them that he has job vacancies, and both Tatiana and Sigrid become Valkyries - a post-mortem career that allows them to regularly visit the mortal world, AND to have time off to attend their own funerals.

In an episode of My Name Is Earl, Earl is making up for faking his own death to get out of a relationship with a clingy girl named Natalie seven years prior. Natalie is now in a relationship with a Jerkass, but she is too much of an Extreme Doormat to care. The guy fakes his own death, having gotten the idea from Earl when he came over to apologize, and Earl (on the advice of Catalina) goes to hang with Natalie to cheer her up a bit. Natalie thinks they're getting back together, and when Earl finally can't take it anymore (and the Please Dump Me gambit failed miserably), he actually tells her what the problem is. And he is told by Natalie's mother that Natalie committed suicide. When Earl goes to her funeral, she grabs his hand, reveals that she is alive, and faked her death so Earl would feel her pain. Too bad her mother wasn't in on the stunt.

Superman: The Animated Series: In the episode "The Late Mr. Kent", a killer plants a bomb in Clark's car because Clark was digging too deeply into one of his previous crimes and was finding evidence that the guy he framed for it was innocent. The bomb makes Clark drive off the road and into the ocean, but since he's Superman, he survives. However, Clark couldn't simply emerge from the water as there was a witness to the accident, and, well, no normal human could survive something like that, forcing Clark to swim away and make everyone think he was dead until he could come up with a plausible excuse for how he survived without revealing his identity. As Superman, he was there to watch his own funeral.

A rather gut-wrenching version happens in Never Wipe Tears Without Gloves. After revealing his sexuality to his mother, Benjamin gets a visit from both his parents. His parents bring roses and cake and while they are eating it dawns on Benjamin that it's not a social call — to his parents this is his funeral. Truth in Television as people who leave Jehovah's Witnesses have experienced this (including the real-life person Benjamin was based on).

He wakes up, unable to move, in a coffin during his own funeral — local traditions have the dead buried almost as soon as they're declared dead — and gets to hear his sister weeping over him. Then he's Buried Alive, and only then regains some mobility.

The season four premiere reveals that Kenny was unable to resist bursting into the middle of his own funeral and announcing he was "reborn". He is honestly surprised that the reactions included his brother punching him in the face and then ending up arrested and spending time in jail for insurance fraud.

This is done symbolically in Lord of the Night Sky to help Ted get over the fact that his old life is over. Once the day is saved, the team throws him a funeral party.

In 2009, a hoax arose on the Internet (and even spread as far as an Australian TV news show) which claimed Jeff Goldblum had died in an accident. Goldblum's response was to go on The Colbert Report and deliver his own eulogy.

General Hospital. Luke and Laura Spencer faked her death in an explosion in order to escape the machinations of their archenemies the Cassadines. But when circumstances forced them to return to town, Laura ended up walking into a memorial service dedicating a wing of the eponymous hospital to her memory. As only one or two people had been privy to the fact that she was still alive, the reaction of everyone else was pure anger.

In Season 5 of the Life SMP, Cleo concludes that Jimmy has never experienced the series tradition of holding a funeral for the first person to lose all their lives (which, up until this point, had always been Jimmy). As such, she decides to hold a funeral for Jimmy while he's still around to experience it. Jimmy isn't amused.

Eyrbyggja Saga: Thorodd of Froda and his men have drowned in a shipwreck, and their bodies have not been found. When his family holds a funeral feast, and all the guests have been seated, Thorodd and his companions come in, soaking wet, and sit down by the fire. While the people are afraid to go near the ghosts, they welcome them and think it is "a happy omen, because in those days it was believed that drowned people had been well received by the sea-goddess, Ran, if they came to their own funeral feast." Unfortunately, the ghosts continue their visits after the feast is over, causing the farmpeople much trouble.

In M*A*S*H, Hawkeye is declared dead by a clerical error, so BJ throws a wake. Since everyone knows he's alive, his presence is a foregone conclusion and the whole thing is a big joke; the "deceased" delivers his own eulogy, with twenty minutes for rebuttal by the guests.
In another episode, a soldier from Luxembourg is presumed dead after he disappears from Post-Op. As they're holding his memorial service, when they cue up Luxembourg's National Anthem the wounded man stumbles out of the post-op ward and comes to attention.

Occurs twice on The Brittas Empire:
One episode has Gordon Brittas (who was genuinely dead) revive in the middle of his funeral. The rest of the attendants there find out when he begins knocking on the door of his casket.
A later episode ends with Gavin, who had been captured by pirates for the episode, show up at his funeral wondering who it's for (the staff had assumed that he had been lost at sea).

Though neither faking it nor technically needing to be resurrected, Red vs. Blue has this happen to Sarge, complete with Grif performing a roast for him, and Simmons campaigning for the leadership position, instead of giving him a eulogy.
Sarge was less than pleased.
This likely happened offscreen for Church as well; he is shown loudly demanding that he be given one. 'My body fought long and hard for this war!' Later, his grave is shown.
It happens again in season 9, to Simmons this time. At first, he's excited at the prospect, but he becomes rather less so when the best things his teammates can come up with are "He talked a lot," and "He liked gum."

Happens by accident in Sliders with Rembrandt walking in on his double's funeral. While it's not his original intention, he can't keep silent when he hears blatant lies being told (then again, he has no way of knowing if they are lies in this world). He ends up living with his double's wife and son for a few days... until the wife is notified that her husband was wounded in action (he was MIA and presumed dead) and is coming home. Cue Rembrandt running away from an angry woman with a shotgun.

George goes to her own funeral incognito in the first episode, having died, agreed to become a Reaper, and been resurrected for the job in a new body. Her Reaper boss Rube intends that it help her close the book on her mortal life, which doesn't entirely work.
In another episode, Mason has to attempt to convince one recently deceased man that he can't attend his own funeral and that it is important to move on to the other side as soon as possible.

Subverted in "Simpsons Tall Tales", where Bart and Nelson play the roles of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. After a scene implies they've been hanged, they're shown hiding while their funeral is going on, grinning widely... only for it to be revealed that it's merely their corpses about to be lowered in the coffins (apparently there was a very good embalmer on hand or something, but probably Rule of Funny is a more apt explanation).

In the Futurama episode "A Pharaoh To Remember," the Planet Express crew stages a fake funeral for Bender to convince him that he will be remembered after he's gone.
There's also the end of Bender's Big Score where Fry, courtesy of time travel shenanigans, attends his own, non-faked, funeral. Well, technically the funeral of a time-travel duplicate, but still.
Before that, after travelling back to his era on a one-way ticket and then freezing himself again, he crashes his memorial service.
Bender in "Forty Percent Leadbelly," complete with an explanation of how he survived in song form.

A variation happens in Avengers: Endgame. Scott has just escaped the Quantum Realm after five years (explaining later on that it only felt like five hours while still inside). After learning of The Snap, he frantically searches the memorials of The Vanished, hoping that his daughter's name isn't on there... only to find his own name (but luckily not hers).

Magic: The Gathering: On Ravnica, members of the Orzhov Syndicate are no strangers to necromancy and communing with the spirits of the departed, and many high-ranking members are ghosts themselves. When an Orzhov ends up dead, their ghost turning up at their own funeral is almost guaranteed. During the Murders at Karlov Manor storyline, this plays out in the wake of Teysa Karlov's death.

ORPHANIMO!!: played with in Banzaï potvis!; when Valllalkozo is assumed dead while he actually crashed on a deserted war ship, and his ex-wife Ursula organizes a "funeral" for him. Vallalkozo does not actually attend it, but he does watch it on a navigation system turned into an improvised TV. Although he is outraged at Ursula's obvious attempt to take over his company (since she knows he is in fact still alive but can't be bothered to rescue him), he is honestly touched when the coffin is lowered into the grave and admits Ursula does have a sense of drama.

Doc Daneeka in Catch-22 had qualified for flight pay simply by entering his name into the flight log. He was declared killed in action when a plane he was 'on board' was downed. He attended his own funeral, mourning that his protests that he was still alive couldn't be officially lodged because he was officially dead.

One of the DC Comics specials had a sketch in which the Justice League attend Green Arrow's funeral, Batman tries to give a eulogy before deciding that a funeral is useless since Death is Cheap for superheroes, claiming that he'll be back soon enough. Everyone applauds, including Green Arrow, who was seated in the back.
One sketch has man fake his own death to see how his loved ones would react to his funeral. When he sees how few people showed up and how little interest they had, he angrily storms in to chew them out and winds up falling into his own grave. They continue with the burial as planned.

Rowley Jefferson's Awesome Friendly Spooky Stories: In story 2, The Prankster, Jasper wakes up one day and tries to pull a prank in the bakery, but his hand goes through it. He looks at a mirror, no reflection. After walking around, he sees people going to a funeral: his funeral. He attends it, and when everyone's done saying their words about Jasper, Jasper goes to see his body, only for the body to be a pumpkin with a crudely-drawn face on it. It turns out, it was a prank held by the entire town.

In the episode "The Two Live Crew Job" Sophie (going by the name Katherine) poses in a coffin after someone sends her a bomb in a flower vase. She listens to the other members of the team eulogize her (including Parker, who almost blows the con). Nate closes the casket and taps on it, which is Sophie's cue to drop out through the false bottom. She even makes an appearance a minute later, wearing a veiled hat.
And again in "The San Lorenzo Job". Nate even lampshades it: "You are utterly unclear on how to be dead. This is the second time in two years that you've shown up at your own funeral."

Although it wasn't really real, Erza in Fairy Tail has a dream where she had really died when she merged with the Tower of Heaven in an effort to stop it from blowing up. She watches her friends in Fairy Tail mourn at her grave, and group of council officials bestow a title upon her. Finally, Natsu crashes the funeral proceedings and vehemently denies Erza's death, which only causes the entire group to break down into tears. Either way, really dramatic. Luckily, it was only a dream, and Natsu saved Erza before she could really die.

In Anne of Ingleside, one of the Gossipy Hens at the quilting bee mentions a story about a man who went out West and reportedly died. The body was sent home, but the funeral director advised them not to open the casket, so they didn't find out it was someone else's body until the supposedly dead man came home just in time to walk in on the funeral.

Jimmy McNulty in The Wire is given a mock Irish wake at Kavanaugh's pub, just like other cop characters who'd been killed off when their actors passed away in real life. In this case, McNulty's career as a detective is what's "dead". He lies on the pool table, posed with a bottle of Jameson's whiskey and a cigar, just like the others, while Jay Landsman gives a funny eulogy. But McNulty is talkative and can't stay still and the other cops complain about this.

In Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears, Phyrne gatecrashes her own funeral by landing a plane on the lawn of Lofthouse Manor where her memorial is being held. She hadn't even known she had been declared dead.

In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, it's Cap attending his Smithsonian exhibit instead of his funeral, but the scene hits all the beats of this trope (he's in disguise, the exhibit is a memorial of his life up through his Disney Death at the end of First Avenger, old movie clips and quotes from friends and loved ones in place of a eulogy, etc). It does have a different impact than most versions, since he's still alive and healthy, but he's lost or is losing everyone else there.

The Golden Girls
In an episode Sophia decides to host her own funeral while she's still alive — that way not only will people be able to enjoy themselves and celebrate her life, but she'll be able to see it and celebrate with them. Rose handles the invitations... but forgets to tell everybody that it's just a pretend funeral. Everyone gets a nasty shock when Sophia shows up, ready to party.
Blanche tells one time when she was a teenager, and angry over losing a beauty pageant, decides to fake her own death, making it look like she drowned in a river. A few days later, her family and friends hold her funeral, and she comes and reveals herself. She mentions in passing that her father sent her to a religious school after that, and how her father could be "such a peckerwood" sometimes.

This happens to Vic Vector in MySims Kingdom — right as he's about to head off on his first mission as a test pilot, it becomes increasingly obvious that Dr. F's speech is in fact a eulogy about his (impending, inevitable) death during the mission. This being a Lighter and Softer world, he actually survives, of course.

A variant from BBC comedy The Burkiss Way: The reading of Lord Hackingbottmo's will is disrupted when someone points out that he's the one reading it. (Note that this only happens after the reading has already a) included a long list of people who haven't been left anything and b) turned into a spontaneous performance of "Chattanooga Choo-choo".)

Invoked in the movie Waking Ned Devine. For plot reasons too complex to go into here, the people of an Irish village have to pretend that the person they are burying is someone different. That different person, still very much alive, gets to attend "his" funeral and hear his neighbors offer heartfelt tributes to him.

Nanako from Tsukihime's sequel disc, Kagetsu Tohya, is not technically dead, but her human body died and she couldn't interact with her family ever again, so her family held a funeral. She was actually very touched by the service, and this reinforced her belief that she could continue existing without regretting giving up her life.

The Fruit of Grisaia: Central to the resolution of Michiru's plot arc. After her suicidal tendencies peak, Yuuji decides to make her realize how much she actually enjoys being alive... by killing her. Actually what he did was drug her so that she was awake and conscious but completely paralyzed, lying in a coffin while her friends hold a funeral. Then he buries her. The heartfelt reactions of her friends to her supposed death, as well as the terror of being Buried Alive, convince her that she really does want to live, and when the drug wears off she digs her way out of the grave. (Yuuji, expecting this outcome, hadn't buried the coffin very deeply and had left an airhole in it so she wouldn't suffocate.)

One of the GURPS books has a short story told from the POV of a newly minted ghost. After attending his own funeral (and weeping over it) he decides to do some world travel. Tries to go to the moon, but doesn't quite get that far.

Family Guy: One episode had someone else accidentally getting Meg's driver's license and then getting hit by a car. This causes everyone in Quahog to think Meg is dead. Meg goes along with this and even watches her own funeral from afar. She's disappointed when she sees not that many people showed up.

In The Smurfs (1981) episode "Clumsy Luck", Clumsy goes out into the forest to exile himself from the rest of the Smurfs because of his "seven years of bad luck" curse he had brought upon himself for accidentally breaking Vanity's mirror. He then returns to the village to see that most of his fellow Smurfs are now mourning for him because a meteor had destroyed his house and everybody thought he was in it at the time of impact. Clumsy then reveals to the Smurfs that he is still alive, and they cheerfully receive him back safe and sound and among the living.

Only two "mourners" arrive: a guy who's only there to hit on the recently "outted" Chandler, and a girl who had a crush on Ross. Ross jumps out and disgusts her for not being dead.

The Starlost. In the pilot episode, Devon escapes the biosphere through the sealed door marked with a warning of death to anyone who enters. Elder Jeremiah declares that he's fallen into a bottomless pit (turns out it's an Endless Corridor) and is embarrassed when Devon returns in time for his funeral. Elder Jeremiah then says it's a funeral mourning Devon's loss of faith, declares him a blasphemer and has Devon gagged and sentenced to death by stoning when he tries to tell everyone else what he's seen.

Star Trek: The Next Generation:
In the episode "The Schizoid Man", Dr. Ira Graves, the mentor to Dr. Noonien Soong, Data's creator, uploads himself into Data's positronic brain just before he dies. While in Data's body, he doesn't just attend his own funeral — he delivers his own flattering eulogy.
Geordi and Ensign Ro do this in the episode "The Next Phase" — they also appear to "come back from the dead", although they aren't actually dead, in the middle of their own funeral. Ro is frustrated that she'll never get to hear what Riker, with whom she has Belligerent Sexual Tension, would say about her.
