Of all the things that could go wrong at a funeral, this is probably up there among the worst.

A pallbearer stumbled and fell on top of the coffin as it was being lowered into the ground in front of mourners.

People wail in shock while others desperately try to prevent the woman’s corpse from falling out in the district of Pampas, Peru.

The coffin bearer appears to slip and lose his footing, tumbling into the plot and turning the coffin on its side.

As he clambers out, other people try to keep the lid on the coffin to prevent the woman’s body falling out any further, but the lid appears to be broken.

 He managed to get out of the grave and the body was eventually interred correctly, allowing the funeral to continue as planned.
