A grieving widow collapsed and died as she buried her husband next to his brother.
Despina Lakka stumbled forward and clutched the arm of the priest conducting the burial at Eastbourne cemetery.
Shocked mourners rushed to her side as she collapsed after suffering a suspected heart attack at the graveside.
Family members desperately tried to revive her as paramedics were called to the cemetery in Hide Hollow, Langney.
Sussex Ambulance Service staff gave instructions over a mobile phone as mourners continued attempts to resuscitate Mrs Lakka, who was in her 60s.
An ambulance took her from the cemetery to Eastbourne District General Hospital but attempts to revive her failed.
