A SERIAL funeral crasher has been blasted for turning up at services uninvited and tucking into food at the wakes afterwards.

The woman has routinely attended memorials at the Holy Redeemer Church in Slough, Berks for the past 14 years.

Margaret Whitehead, who recently organised the funeral for her 42-year-old daughter Catherine Whitehead was left fuming by the unwelcome guest’s behaviour.

She said: "She got my son Kevin to give her a lift from the church to the Irish Centre for the wake.

"There were a lot of people at the funeral from Catherine's work so I just assumed she was a colleague.

“When I spoke to her though she told me she used to work with Catherine as a waitress. My daughter never worked as a waitress."

Following the funeral Margaret learned the woman is notorious for turning up uninvited.

Margaret from Warfield, near Bracknell, Berks added: "She was eating from the buffet like there was no tomorrow.

"At the end of the wake she took out a Tupperware box, filled it up with food and cycled off with it in the basket on her bicycle.

"There's mass every morning, she doesn't need to go to funerals.

"She's only going when there's a cheap lunch.

"She intrudes on people when they are upset and sad."

Father Noah Connolly said he was aware of the woman, but powerless to prevent her from attending church services.

He added: "Every funeral we have she comes and if there is a reception afterwards she makes her way to it without invitation.

"She is a Catholic woman and she is convinced she needs to go to as many masses as possible. She has been coming and going since I have been here for the past 14 years.

“I can’t exactly say you can’t come here.”
