'I'm nuts': UK man who joked about Snickers-themed coffin gets his sweetest wish

In a

unique farewell

, a 55-year-old man was laid to rest in a

Snickers-themed coffin

, an idea he had often joked about in life and ensured was included in his will.
According to a report from SWNS,

Paul Broome

, from England, was known for his sharp wit and mischievous sense of humour. His family honoured his final wish by commissioning a

custom-made casket

resembling the iconic chocolate bar. Adding a playful touch, the words "I'm nuts" were emblazoned on the coffin, a nod to Broome's fun-loving personality.

"Paul's family told us he was a true character, and his farewell needed to reflect that," funeral arranger Ali Leggo said. "His humour and quick wit left a mark on so many, and this was a fitting tribute to his one-of-a-kind spirit."

A passionate supporter of

Crystal Palace FC

, Broome's devotion to the club was also evident in his farewell, with the team's logo adorning the coffin. His love for the sport ran deep, boasting a collection of over 40 team shirts and treasuring match days at Selhurst Park with his brothers.
The

funeral procession

made a special stop at Broome's favorite café in

Bognor Regis

, where friends gathered to pay tribute. Dressed in custom-made T-shirts in his honour, they clapped as he made his final journey, turning the moment into a celebration of his life rather than a sombre goodbye.
"The family received overwhelming positive feedback from those who attended, many saying the personal touches made the service a true reflection of Paul’s life," Leggo added. "It was a privilege to help fulfil his last wish."
At the time of his passing, Broome worked as a

care assistant

, dedicating his time to supporting adults with learning disabilities.
