If you've got a Huddersfield Town fan in your life, why not make them morbidly upset on Christmas morning?

You can now buy full pre-paid funeral packages for Terriers supporters whose dying days are imminent. According to the Huddersfield Daily Examiner, the plan costs £4,195 (€5,770) and it's being advertised by a promotional video featuring the iconic words of former Town manager Bill Shankly - "Football isn’t a matter of life and death. It’s more important than that." The plan will get you a blue and white coffin or a more traditional coffin with a personalised Town shirt draped over it, to cater for all tastes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T75Pzb7_k1A The club's anthem "Smile Awhile" will be played as the service takes place and you'll also be sent on your way to football heaven with a bouquet from the club. For fans who are less content with the idea of being buried, a cremation service is also available which will see your ashes scattered at the John Smith's Stadium. It's not weird. Not weird at all.
