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...

I have only been to one funeraland that was a cremation, of my uncle, I was 17 and I hated every moment of it.
At the wake I didn't drink (a rarity in itself) and just wanted to get as far away as possible.
Another one of my uncles died about 2 years later, and I was unable to attend, I made up some crap excuse about it being too hard to travel with my girlfriend at the time.
I still hate the idea of attending someones send off, but now I am too old to avoid the important ones. It isn't the idea of the send off, it is just all the people and all the social tiptoeing that is partaken to avoid speaking about anything that is important.
When all that needs to be done, is everyone remember as they were, in most cases a great person.
Sorry it is not amusing
