"It was very disagreeable. The funeral atmosphere ended and perhaps because of everyone's nervousness, there was something comical in the air. I was very embarrassed but I managed to continue with the funeral rites."
Thus said by Rev. Alex Novais de Brito, a Roman Catholic priest who fell into a grave while praying at the burial of one of his parishioners, saying further that the incident "ruined the moment " according to the local police in central-western Brazil .
He was praying over the coffin at the Campo da Esperanca (Field of Hope) cemetery near Brasilia, São Paulo when the ground suddenly gave way and he and three others at the funeral service fell into the grave.
No one was seriously hurt.
