Footage of a young woman dancing on top of a coffin in front of a cheering crowd has gone viral on social media.
The woman was captured twerking on top of her boyfriend's coffin during a funeral with hip-hop music playing in the background, while at the same time she seems to be crying and bends over from time to time to place a kiss. According to media reports, the scene took place in Ecuador.

A lot of users still said it was a disrespectful thing to do at a funeral, adding that they would not tolerate it if encountered in real life.
ngl that's disrespectful on so many levels. If it were me I would slap the sh*t outta somebody if they did that on my grave or something.

It is a Mexican belief to not fear death but instead accept it as a natural and just the way life goes on.
