Note the following item among the benefits listed on their website ....

Carbon Neutral
For every home cremation purchased through us, we offset CO2 emissions by planting a young tree (aprillus excors) in Buranda.

0HAVE YOUR SAY
Need some election interference? The Russian foreign ministry is ready to help – or so it said on April Fools’ Day.

Yesterday the ministry posted on its Facebook page an audio file of the purported new automated phone message for Russian embassies.

“To arrange a call from a Russian diplomat to your political opponent, press 1,” the recording begins, in Russian and English. Press 2 “to use the services of Russian hackers,” and 3 “to request election interference”.


A duty officer confirmed later that it was a joke.

One I hadn't heard before. Hong Kong megastar Leslie Cheung killed himself on April first 2003. Or did he? Some denialist fans claim it was all a bit prank, a la Andy Kaufman, and he's living anonymously in Australia.
 
A neighbour of ours convinced her several children that school had re-opened. They were up and dressed with packed lunches etc ready, and had walked out of the front door before she told them. April Fool! Brilliant.
