The Funeral That Turned Into a Party
She organized her own funeral, sending out invites for what seemed like a black-tie dance party. Her guests had no idea what they were walking into. “I found the perfect coffin and turned my living room into a funeral parlor,” she said. “When people walked into my own funeral parlor, I could hear them gasp as they walked into the room. They thought I was really dead! A minute later they realized the hoax and the room was rolling with laughter.” And just like that, the funeral turned into a dance party, complete with Barbara kicking her way out of the coffin to get the party started.
Barbara’s family and friends embraced the experience fully. As a mom to Tom and Kate “Katie” Higgins, whom she shares with her husband Bill Higgins, she got to hear all the nice things people say about her when she’s “gone.” “My friends and my children came to the coffin to pay their last respects, and I got to hear all the nice things people say about you when you’re dead,” she shared. And let’s not forget, the funeral didn’t stay a funeral for long. “Then I did a high kick out of that coffin to start that dancing!” she said with a laugh.
