Putting the Fun in FuneralSome deaths come suddenly or too soon and can really hit hard, others seem to be a blessed relief. Similarly, some funerals can be deeply upsetting and sad, others can make you want to hug the world.
Mmm, don't want to bring you down or anything, but tell us your funeral stories...

Meeting the familyMy wonderful grandfather (mothers side) died 8 years ago when I was 13, still can't believe he's gone. He had just won a table tennis match against the police's team at the sport centre he worked at, told his friend who was having another game 'you know what to do dont you?' and fell asleep, never waking up.
Never met my other grandad, he died the day my mum discovered she was pregnent with me.
Anyways, after a very emotional cremation (mum was very distraught and my sister was angry and upset the fact I wasnt crying enough), the sandwiches afterwards gave me the opportunity to meet some very distant family members. A very old couple came up to me and asked if I was me.
Old bloke-'You threw up on me at your chistening'
Me-'Um, sorry'
