    An advertising firm has been blasted after a billboard for The Walking Dead was put on the wall of a funeral parlour in Consett, County Durham.

    An apology has been issued after the ad for The Walking Dead appeared on the side of The Co-operative Funeralcare.

    Susan Jones, from the Willow Burn Hospice, in nearby Lanchester, said that while some people may see the funny side, others would not.

    She said: 'There must be somewhere else they could put it that would have shown a degree of insight and sensitivity.'

    Classic case of 'there's no such thing as bad publicity!' The film and the undertaker get miles and miles of free publicity in a national newspaper - and better still, on boards.ie!

    I'll bet the other undertakers in the town are completely p***ed off with this story.

    Ambush marketing?
