WATCH: Video of funeral attendees running with coffin has everyone asking questions
Updated | By Stacey and J Sbu
The social media streets have been left completely baffled by a video showing a very unusual funeral moment.

Funerals are a very somber and generally serious occasion.

It is also very personal as the person who has passed on might have left a few special instructions for the proceedings. They might have requested that it be held in a certain place that had meaning to the person or they might ask for even more specific details like what they would wear etc.
One would assume that this person would not necessarily request the actions reflected in the video below.

The video was posted by Twitter user @kevinbeyd_ on Twitter and instantly caught our attention when we saw the unusual funeral behaviour. But we weren't alone.
The internet is having a field day with this video and some of the reactions are exactly what you would expect.

Like previously mentioned, it doesn't seem like this is standard funeral practice as a lot of Tweeps have said that they have no idea what is happening in this video and are in need of some explanations.
This is definitely not something you see every day!
I’ve never seen anything like this 😳

Unfortunately, no one has been able to shed some light on the situation and explain what exactly is going on here?!
We can't promise you anything but if we figure it out or learn the reason for all this running, we'll let you know.
Until then, we'll just have this on replay in our brains:
