Pallbearer

The Pallbearer served a small but important role in Operation S.C.R.A.P.P.Y. He was the one that carried Scooby's coffin up the hill and to his grave in the opening scene of the film. Whereas most sequences in the films focus explicitly on Scooby, the Pallbearer has the rare honour of replacing the Doo as the focus of this particular scene. Keen viewers may have noticed that the Pallbearer isn't exactly consistent in terms of appearance, and sometimes may even appear as more than one person. What? An explanation for the discrepency? Well, if you insist...

Backstory
The Pallbearer is a shape-shifting alien who crash landed on Earth in 2007. Unable to fix his space ship with current human technology, he has been forced to live and work here. To survive, he got a job as a Pallbearer and was hired by the funeral service that the Kaiser used to bury Rebel prisoners. Unfortunately, his shape-shifting nature sometimes gets the better of him causing great confusion in his co-workers.

Behind the Scenes
The Pallbearer was played by three members of the Critical Pictures team. The first person seen is Rohain Davies, who carries the coffin up the hill. The second is M.D. Ru'ssell, who walks across the scene. We then see Davies and Ru'ssell both carrying the coffin simultaneously - the former now wearing sunglasses, and the latter with his hood up. We then transition to J.D. O'Hallaran carrying the coffin towards the Grave Digger, while Rohain stands by as a mourner on the side. Finally, we return to Rohain Davies who hands the coffin over to the Grave Digger, concluding the Pallbearer's role in the film. It was intended as a subtle joke and a stab against continuity - a facet that caused significant problems when making Operation R.E.L.P.
