A character is doing, or is about to do, something dangerous (and usually stupid). Then the scene suddenly cuts to the character's funeral, showing the result of said action. This is the Funeral Cut. The key to the Funeral Cut is that the funeral is the first indication of what happened to the character. If we already know for sure the character had died, then it's just a cut that happens to be to a funeral. For this reason, the Funeral Cut only applies when the death occurs offscreen (or, at the very least, in the background). Though a funeral cut could occur after a fatal injury but before the audience knows if the character died. Also, it's not a funeral cut if the scene cuts back to the dead bodies where they died; that's just Killed Offscreen. A funeral cut does need not be a cut to the funeral proper but could cut directly to something related to the funeral, such as a gravestone, an obituary, bells tolling, or people dressed in black. The funeral cut is a common way to show the deaths of people who are Too Dumb to Live, and people who tempt fate, especially in Dark Comedy, where is it Played for Laughs. Oftentimes deaths that are Foregone Conclusions (like when a character is sick) or heavily Foreshadowed are shown this way, where the Funeral Cut serves more as a Discretion Shot. Because the Funeral Cut is a common trope, it's frequently subverted to make you think for a moment that the character is dead, but then it's revealed that character is still alive (usually because it's someone else's funeral). A funeral cut may cut to any part of the mourning process. Common examples include a Shrine to the Fallen, a Memorial Photo, appropriate weather, mourners dressed in black, or a coffin, closed or open casket depending on how gruesome the death was. May be accompanied by the sound of church bells tolling. If it's a military funeral, look for Taps and the cut to a War Memorial or a Memorial Statue. If the funeral cut shows up at the very beginning of the work, it's Starts with Their Funeral. If it's at the end, it's an Ending Memorial Service. Sub-Trope of Discretion Shot. Very often a form of Gory Discretion Shot. Sister trope to Ambulance Cut, but with far worse results. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Tracy Lawrence's song "If I Don't Make It Back" is a "When I'm Gone" Song where a man tells his friends what he wants them to do to remember him if he doesn't survive his tour of duty in the military. The song never says that he dies, but the last chorus is about his friends doing everything he asked. | |

The fourth season of Chuck ends with Sarah getting poisoned just after getting engaged to Chuck. The finale has Chuck negotiate the antidote and administer it to Sarah, but it apparently has no effect. Cut to commercial and cut back to a church with a sign reading "Funeral and viewing".

The Simpsons: In "Homer's Enemy", Frank Grimes loses it and starts acting as dumb as he thinks Homer is, including handling electrical wires without safety gloves. The camera cuts to the others' reaction to Grimes being shocked off-screen, then cuts again to his funeral. In Simpsons Bible Stories", King David (Bart) is thrown out of town by Goliath (Nelson) and meets Ralph Wiggum (portraying a shepherd), who idolises him. David tells him he is no longer his hero, so Ralph walks into the sunset, intending to face Goliath himself. Cut to the gravestone. Later on, however, Goliath gets killed by a gravestone to the neck... Ralph's gravestone. It turns out Ralph isn't dead after all. Subverted in "D'oh-in' In The Wind", where Homer tries to become a hippie. Homer had accidentally ruined an entire shipment of his hippie friends' juice business and secretly tried to save it by harvesting vegetables from their secret garden. He learns too late that the vegetables in question were drugged, and this attracted the police to the farm, willing to kill them. Homer makes a Rousing Speech and places flowers in the policemen's rifles, but the last rifle goes off as he is placing the flower into it. Scene cuts to a graveyard which is right next to a hospital, but it turns out Homer is in the hospital. In "I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot", Lisa's three cats' deaths are shown this way. First, Snowball II dies in a classic That Poor Cat when Dr. Hibbert runs her over off-screen. The next scene shows a gravestone marked Snowball II and a yet-to-be-buried shoe box. Her replacement Snowball III is found floating in an aquarium. Then it cuts to Snowball III's headstone. Snowball III's replacement Coltrane (aka Snowball IV) jumps out the window when Lisa plays her saxophone. Then it cuts to the headstone marked Coltrane. In "Mona Leaves-a", Homer's mother Mona peacefully Dies Wide Open in the Simpsons' living room, and the last line before commercial is Homer worriedly asking if she's OK, cluing the audience in that she's not. The first scene of the next act is Mona's funeral. |

In a sketch based on Inside Out, Riley attends a slumber party, where her friends have her get her ears pierced as a Rite of Passage. After Riley says "This is my decision!", the next scene takes place at her funeral, where the eulogist advises her family to remember Riley as a good girl and not someone who decided to ask her friend to stab her ear and then bled to death. | |
