Mourners at funeral for dad and his son horrified when PORN is played on screen

THE grieving family of a dad and baby son killed in a car crash were horrified when hardcore PORN was played at their funeral.
Simon Lewis, 33, died in a head-on collision on New Year's Eve while driving with his pregnant wife and three-year-old daughter.
His son Simon Jnr died hours after he was born by emergency caesarean section three days after the horror smash in Cardiff.
Hundreds of mourners gathered at Thornhill Crematorium in the Welsh capital to pay their respects, but were mortified when the adult film was played instead of a tribute to Simon.

Cardiff council, which runs the crematorium, has launched an urgent investigation.
One outraged funeral-goer told Wales Online: "It was absolutely disgusting, the priest turned around to play the video of Simon, but instead a hard-core pornography video was played on the big screen. "Everyone was in shock, Simon’s father-in-law was furious, he shouted at the staff present and told them to turn it off. "It took them nearly four minutes to turn it off, people couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

"To the priest’s credit he handled it extremely well. He apologised on behalf of Cardiff Council and said that in 30 years of doing the job, he had never seen such filth."

If that wasn't so terribly sad it would be funny.

I wonder how it happened? I did hear it being talked about on Radio Two this afternoon but I missed half of the actual story.

I'M sorry, but when he said "i'v never seen such filth" my immediate reaction was to think 'you should get out more'

Took them nearly 4 minutes to turn it off? I don't buy that for a second.

Someone found it interesting.

You reckon they were enjoying it?

Is there any news about where the video came from in the first place? Was it mixed up with another one at the funeral home, or was it given to them by a member of the family?

Maybe just pissing themselves laughing, but it's hard for me to imagine a scenario in which the "STOP" button is four minutes away from the "PLAY" button
