  1. PiTEOUS says:

    Am I First?

  2. failbomber says:

    Yes, you are gone. lol

  3. FrenchFried says:

    second

  4. Juasman says:

    Amigone!

    Couldn’t think of a better example of spanish-english fusion :)

  5. GOInsanity says:

    I think it’s the perfect name…

  6. fuzz on the concept says:

    Would you call an immortality home Antigone?

  7. bolmedias14 says:

    Easily naming win.

  8. CC says:

    They should probably add a disclaimer. “If you’re reading this, you’re not.”

  9. wimple says:

    No fail – this is photoshopped.

    • goodnplenty81 says:

      ORLY? Cuz I thought it was another one of those “dumb Americans don’t know about the outside world” kinda deals. Thx for clearin that up.

      Google before you “no fail.”

      • Winter says:

        No, make sure your flight to Paris lands at the De Gaulle airport. The Orly always has the worst traffic.

        What makes you so sure that he’s American? It’s not like we have a monopoly on stupidity. Plus I think he was being sarcastic. Maybe.

        Unless you were being sarcastic too…

        There really needs to be a better way to determine sarcasm on the internet. I expect the report on my desk by Friday. Get working.

        • proteus says:

          you cannot has. Fatty McCanklestein can’t fit at his desk.

        • goodnplenty81 says:

          1 – Your Orly joke is stolen and old…but still funny.

          2 – I was being sarcastic. The majority of the comments on faiblog consist of “fake” “photoshopped” “American stupidity, not really a fail” “old” or the oposite of what would happen in Soviet Russia. It gets tedious to read the same comments over and over. (Oh, and don’t forget the ever popular “first”)

          3 – Because of 2^, it doesn’t really matter whether he’s an American or not. That wasn’t the point. (BTW – I’m an American.)

          4 – If the comment is from me, you can bet it’s usually dripping with sarcasm.

        • goodnplenty81 says:

          *sigh*
          *pats Winter on the head*

        • greybob says:

          I suggest a special symbol to denote sarcasm, like how question marks imply the inflection of asking a question, all-caps suggests SHOUTING, etc.

        • greybob says:

          We may not have a monopoly on stupidity, but we do have majority shares…

    • Wasabi says:

      If only someone would Photoshop some win into your comment …

    • Anonymouse says:

      Nah, it’s real.

      There are like eight of them in my hometown.

    • deathbymetro says:

      photoshop-spotting fail. there’s a slew of them all over the buffalo/niagara falls area. oh wny…

      • June says:

        Yeah, I was just gonna say. We love those guys around here. BUFFALO FTW

        • redventura says:

          Don’t know if it’s still there, but just down the road from one of the Amigone’s used to be a sign in a local cemetery – “Resurrection Mausoleum – Now Open For Your Visitation”. I wish I were kidding. I love this town…

    • Rick says:

      Actually, it’s real. I live in the Buffalo, NY, USA area, and they are one of the bigger funeral homes around here. The name comes from the founders last name. Yes, some person named Amigone decided to go into the funeral business.

      You can go to their website (http://amigone.com/aboutus/why_choose.php) for yourself.

      When I first moved to the area, I thought it was hysterical. Took me a while to get used to it, now I don’t even see it.

    • yvonne says:

      No this is not photoshopped. I live here, in Buffalo, NY, where this picture was taken. we have a ton of these around Western New York. Everyone around here knows about these funeral homes, and we’ve all gotten a chuckle out of them. But I can tell you that it’s definitely for real.

    • K says:

      This isn’t photoshopped! There are a bunch of them in Buffalo. I walk past them all the time!

    • someone says:

      Not fail. They are in western new york, I live near buffalo and have seen these signs all the time and never thought anything of them. BTW they have a website.

    • DC Tom says:

      No it’s not. It’s a chain in Buffalo. “Amigone” is the family name. That particular one is on Transit Road in Depew. I grew up about a mile from another location in Clarence.

    • Victoria says:

      Actually it’s real. I live in Buffalo, NY and they are all over the place here.

      http://amigone.com/aboutus/why_choose.php

    • katie says:

      No, it’s real. I think it might be part of a chain, actually.. there’s another one, with a sign just like this, outside of Cresaptown, MD. I used to laugh at it every time I drove past.

    • minerva146 says:

      It’s real. and in western NY lie someone else said.
      http://amigone.com/aboutus/why_choose.php

    • Jaci says:

      This is not photoshopped, I live near many of these funeral homes. Its there family name.

    • Headhunter says:

      It’s not photoshopped – there are several locations in the Buffalo, NY area. Feel free to look it up in a telephone directory or online.

      We also have a funeral parlor (not too far from this one) named “Bury & Roberts”!

  10. Bo says:

    Nobody suggests that the name of the funeral home might be chosen exactly for its meaning? Could be. And if it is, it’s not a fail, it’s a win.

  11. Win, surely. I couldn’t think of a better name for a funeral home! Well, maybe I could given the time, but I still think that’s pretty clever.

  12. Be says:

    The Greek thread is pretty funny. This is a chain of funeral homes in the Buffalo area; the family name is Amigone alright, but everybody insists that it’s “ah-MIG-oh-knee.”

  13. Bib1887 says:

    Old Fail. This was on AFV several years ago.

  14. George says:

    Oh my god! This is the funeral home near my grandmother’s house in Buffalo, NY!

  15. Matthew says:

    Submitted by Marydie…………..I think I have an idea where she lives.

  16. nani nani? says:

    I feel dissapointed :(

  17. Woopop says:

    Good to see Buffalo representin’ on the good ol’ failblog!

  18. proteus says:

    says the bratwurst

  19. jinx says:

    Is it a hispanic funeral parlor? Amigo + Gone = Amigone? It’s kind of a fun name. Maybe they are doing like they do in the South (in the U.S.) and combine everything, i.e., chicken and waffles; ho’s and bbq sauce??? So you can make friends and dispose of your dead.

  20. plastiqmanb says:

    Ah yes welcome to buffalo NY home to like 7 of these funeral homes. Awesome!

  21. Mark says:

    I took a picture almost ten years ago of a sign at Amigone. I always had to explain why it was funny to people.

  22. Matt says:

    Hah, that funeral home chain is in my city lol Buffalo NY

  23. healingkid says:

    that *IS* the question.

  24. Chase says:

    This picture ALMOST gave me a boner.

  25. Destiny says:

    Yeah I was just going to say, those funeral homes exist in the Buffalo NY area, so this probably ISN’T shooped.

    I lol’d anyway though.

  26. K says:

    These funeral homes are in Buffalo; I pass by them all the time.

  27. rebecca_777 says:

    omg, there are several of these funeral homes around western new york!!!

  28. K says:

    Hey, I’ve seen these funeral homes! They’re all around Buffalo, NY!

  29. Phil says:

    Western New York WIN!

  30. someone says:

    By the way. If you want to see this specific sign it’s on transit road in Depew. Does this statement make me scary?

  31. BRAMtish says:

    thats what she said

  32. daweefolkxXx says:

    conveniently located next to the cemetery by the playground!

  33. Puddy says:

    Fitting your name with your calling WIN!!!

  34. KittyThePooka says:

    This is a totally real funeral home based in western new york near buffalo. I guess the name of the family that runs it is Amigone.

    And yes, we think it’s hilarious too.

    • Jesse says:

      The Goo Goo Dolls (from Buffalo) wrote a song about it, called Amigone, on the album “Dizzy Up the Girl,” the one with Iris on it. I think it’s track 7, between Bulletproof and All Eyes on Me. Robby sings it. It’s one of his best, I think, or at least one of my favorites.

      And the album itself is the best album in the history of the multiverse.

  35. Meridian says:

    The company I worked for back in 2002 repossessed some vehicles from these guys.

  36. Buffalo Gal says:

    You know what else from Buffalo needs to be on here? The street sign for “Morning Wood Drive”, which is a lovely little neighborhood in East Amherst. The sign actually reads “MORNING WD DR” but its name is indeed “Morning Wood”. What were they THINKING?

  37. karina says:

    For real: I was a claims examiner and I had a death certificate submitted for a claim with this funeral home named on it. It’s real!

  38. Eric says:

    god, buffalo has so many fails.
    not only is our economy basically equal
    to that of a third world country, but even
    our funeral homes fail.

  39. Ashley Barriga says:

    omg. was this in buffalo, ny? because i know the people that own that and that’s actually their last name. otherwise, theres another amigone funeral home besides this one.

  40. zombie says:

    funny thing is, this is a real place, i used to live near it, and its really the peoples last names too!!

  41. Lindsay says:

    HAHA! I have been driving past these signs (mind you there’s many of them) in my town for years… worst name for a funeral home EVER.

  42. Dan says:

    Here’s a semi-old list to clutter.

  43. Fishpies says:

    Hocrap. There’s one of those, like, down the street from my house. xD

    …The name’s funny until you have to go to a service there. ._.

  44. Dave says:

    Hey that’s in Depew!

  45. Jessica says:

    This is near my house. There are actually two of these run by the same family

  46. Very interesting post and even more impressive discussion.
