Mental Funeral is the second album by American death metal band Autopsy, released on April 22, 1991 by Peaceville Records.

[2] Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic states that the album confused listeners when first released, and conferred the title of "death metal's ultimate love/hate band" on Autopsy.

He claimed that the interlude riff in "In The Grip of Winter" was "[directly stolen]" from “Eskimo” by The Residents, and said he "just switched the notes a little bit".

[7] Brandon Corsair of Invisible Oranges said "each song contains within it the potential to completely go off the rails with speed and aggression or to slow to a painful dirge".

"[10] Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic wrote, "Sadly, while it won over as many fans as it pissed off upon release, Mental Funeral arguably confused an even greater number of consumers, turning Autopsy into death metal's ultimate love/hate band, the one no one seemed able to agree on.
