It was feared that the ‘McCrispy’ advertisement would upset grieving families
McDonald’s has apologized after an advertisement for the fast-food chain’s ‘McCrispy’ burger was placed close to a crematorium in the UK – although some locals did see the funny side.
The restaurant chain has pledged to remove the offending advertising hoarding following complaints from residents of Truro in the UK county of Cornwall. It had gained attention on social media on Friday for being placed on a busy road directly opposite an establishment which offers cremation services.
The brightly lit advert, which was placed directly behind a sign pointing to the crematorium, was branded as “tasteless” by some angry locals.
“Although I can see the funny side, it is tasteless and I’m sure some grieving family members won’t like to see it when visiting Penmount for the funeral and cremation of a loved one,” said a resident whose mother-in-law was cremated at the funeral home last year, as quoted by British media.
