Five people were buried under a huge mound of soil during a bungled funeral.

Four were seen trying to squeeze a red coffin into a niche at the bottom of a freshly-dug pit as a man in white garb stood nearby.

A crane is used to support one end of the casket as the group slowly pushes it into the space.

Meanwhile, several workers are seen stretching a plastic sheet along the length of the niche from the top.

One man bends down to flatten the sheet, but appears to disturb the mound of removed soil he’s standing on.

The earth breaks up like an avalanche and the pit is quickly filled with soil, burying the five people and the coffin.

Two men start to dig out the soil with their hands as the clip comes to an end.

The video, which was recorded during a funeral in China, as reported by Need To Know.

One local joked: “Pay for one burial, get five free.”

Another wrote: “In some cultures, that’s a sign that the deceased is angry about something.”

A third estimated: “Each cubic foot of dirt is roughly 180lb.

“That was a lot of dirt.”

Another said: “The living ones got buried before the dead one.”
