LONDON -- The joke about losing a friend to a new relationship has been floating around for a long, long time -- but these guys really took it to a whole other level.

Last week Ben Hull, a student at St Mary's University in Twickenham, UK, shared two images from a "funeral" they had for their friend Adam Milner.

The twist was, Milner hadn't exactly been "taken" in the traditional sense.

At the time of writing, Hull's tweet about the fake funeral has been shared well over 6000 times.

You really can't fault the level of effort they went to.

They even got dressed up for the somber occasion.

"We all live on a floor together and spend a lot of time going out to nights out and all sorts, Hull told BuzzFeed.

"Then suddenly he got a girlfriend, and we saw him less and less."

At least his memory will live on.
