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...

It was the funderal of my young neice and nephew's favourite great uncle...(My brother-in-law's uncle).
It was their first funeral. Girl was about 12; boy 14.
After the service, we were in the packed church hall and I had to try and make awkward conversation with them... We mumbled a bit and I could see they were getting distressed, so I helpfully said "Do you want me to find your mum?" "yes", they said, tearfully, obviously upset at the death thing... "I'll find her," I said helpfully. "I think the's buried in the corner over there."
Doh!
I got my coat and left.
