"You'll be late for/to your own funeral" = bạn thậm chí sẽ đến muộn đám tang chính mình -> nghĩa (hài hước) là trêu ai đó luôn đến muộn.

Ví dụ
That is the one appointment you'll keep, —though, I believe, you will be late for your own funeral.

“I believe you would manage to be late for your own funeral.” - “That would not depend quite so much upon my own volition (ý chí),” said Charley, laughing. 

His sister Tiana (whose nickname is Tee) arrived much later. She's always late and Trey has always teased her about that. “Like, I told you,” he said. “You'll be late for your own funeral.” She pushed him in the chest and smiled, then hugged him. "It's good to see you lil' bro," she said.

'Sorry Pippo, I forgot. Give me two minutes,' I said as I jumped out of bed, and reached for my trousers. I hurriedly dressed in my oldest clothes, ran into the kitchen & grabbed a piece of bread off the plate on the table. Mum saw me & pretended to aim a slap at me. 'Bruno, you'll be late for your own funeral,' she shouted to me as I ran out the door to join my waiting siblings.
