A Uruguayan firm spread seasonal cheer in December by sending out huge Christmas cards showing its staff attending a funeral.
The cover of Guyer & Regules' yuletide greeting featured a wreath and a joyous, festive reminder that everything dies:

Unfolding the card reveals a giant photo of the firm's staff attending a mocked-up (surely mocked up?) funeral:
Mourning in front of a gravestone with the inscription "RIP Christmas Card" is senior partner Nicolas Herrera, channelling a mafia don, or possibly the man from Del Monte:
Not everyone got the memo about funeral attire. This pair came as the Blues Brothers:
These two thought it was a frat party:
This guy thought about bringing Backstreet back:
While this gentleman has been bringing Backstreet back for several decades:
One mourner mixed up 'sad' with 'GQ cover shoot':
Then again, there's nothing like a funeral to really give you the horn:
In an old-fashioned take on the sexes, only one man was snapped holding a handkerchief, compared to 24 weeping women:
As for the top suspect in the death of the deceased, you're not fooling anyone, Uruguayan Chigurh:
On the reverse side of the funeral extravaganza, staff were pictured in front of the same church, but now celebrating, having bulldozed the gravestone:
The man from Del Monte, he say yes:
The office joker/dictator:
Quick snort in the loos and that funeral's a distant memory:
Perhaps mistaking its card for a work of art, the firm provided behind-the scenes footage:
Alas, Guyer & Regules was not the only firm spouting a bizarre Christmas message. In a brave attempt at humour, Arnold & Porter proclaimed that it was demonstrating "innovation" by sending a greeting ecard 12 months early:
"Surely the shit-est legal marketing message ever sent (costs draftsman excluded)", said a recipient, who kindly passed the pisspoor effort to ROF. It certainly gives the firm that made Santa weep a run for its money.
