ReelViews
The film's climax is nothing short of hilarious. And Death at a Funeral doesn't discriminate when it comes to the type of humor it embraces it. Everything is in there, from physical hijinks to verbal repartee to naked man jokes to drugs and gross-out stuff.

Chicago Tribune
Death at a Funeral is lethal farce, combining hints of "The Lavender Hill Mob," doses of Joe Orton and a smidgen of the Farrelly brothers' scatology in its mix.

Christian Science Monitor
It has the requisite amount of knockabout silliness.

New York Magazine (Vulture)
It goes soft, but even a gelded traditional farce is more potent than most of our slob comedies.

The Hollywood Reporter
This topsy-turvy funeral produces a number of smiles, giggles, pleasant guffaws and several solid, sustained laughs. Not a bad batting average as comedies go.
70
Variety
With a circus parade of mourning Brits and enough appalling circumstances to set proper Englishness back to the Dark Ages, Death at a Funeral pits decorum against sex, drugs and dysfunction.

Washington Post
Shows us how funny farce can be -- even with the hokiest of premises -- in the hands of the British.

Premiere
The dumbness doesn't kill Death at a Funeral, but it certainly weakens it.
