Barbara Corcoran showed a morbid sense of humor when she celebrated her 70th birthday party with friends and family in New York City this past weekend.
The Shark Tank investor surprised her guests by laying in a coffin when they first arrived.
'After 90 friends and family paid their respects, I popped out of the coffin in a red Carolina Herrera gown to the Diana Ross song I'm Alive!,' she said in the caption of a picture that showed her lifting her head and leg out of the casket.

Shocker! Barbara Corcoran surprised her friends and family by staging her own funeral for her 70th birthday party in New York City on Saturday
The antics didn't end there: there was a life size cardboard cutout of her in a nun's outfit, and once Corcoran jumped out of the coffin she proceeded to dance the Tango.
'What the heck, you only die once, you might as well be around for it,' the New Jersey native ended the caption.
According to Page Six, Corcoran informed the guests beforehand that the dress code was 'tango', and that she had hired a professional tango dancer for the birthday bash.
