A family was left fuming after bungling cemetery workers dropped the coffin, and their dead gran fell out.

Loved ones were saying farewell to their grandmother who passed away at the age of 86.

Footage showed the cemetery workers lowering the casket into the grave before apparently misjudging the weight and allowing it to tip to one side.

The coffin then crashed to the bottom of the hole, and the lid opened.

The gran’s body was exposed at the bottom of the grave as loved ones wept in shock.

Angry relatives shouted at the workers in response, as reported by Need To Know.

The bungled funeral took place in Monterrey in northern Mexico last Sunday (30 Mar).

According to reports, the woman’s corpse sustained cuts and scrapes to her face.

The deceased woman’s nephews had to jump into the grave to put the body back in the coffin.

The family became embroiled in a heated row with the workers as a result.

Relatives claimed that the workers were mocking and confrontational towards them.

A cemetery official arrived at the plot to calm the situation.

He reportedly told the family that the workers are “well trained” and didn’t seem too concerned about the incident with the casket.

As a result, the family said they are considering legal action against the private cemetery.
