Before his death, Broome often joked about having a Snickers-themed coffin – a wish his family made sure to fulfill in his final farewell, according to SWNS.
Broome’s family wanted to honor his memory in a way that reflected his personality, so they had a coffin made that resembled a Snickers bar.
Emblazoned on it was the phrase, “I’m nuts” – a tribute to Broome’s playful nature.
“Paul’s family informed us that he was one of life’s true characters, and his farewell needed to reflect that,” funeral arranger Ali Leggo told SWNS.

“His quick wit and sense of humor touched so many people, and the coffin was a fitting tribute to his unique personality.”
The coffin also featured the Crystal Palace FC logo.
Broome was a devoted supporter of the English soccer club, amassing a collection of more than 40 shirts and cherishing match days at Selhurst Park with his brothers.
As a parting tribute, the funeral procession passed by Broome’s favorite café in Bognor Regis.
