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...

Thank-godI didn't attend my nan's funeral many years ago. Her best friend had a heart attack and died at the grave side.
The last wake I found myself at was for someone I didn't know...was just meeting my friend there. (long story). It started out interesting as it all turned into a massive slanging match between them all, which was embarrasing and interesting all at the same time n after all the 'oldies' had got out of the way, we all retreated to the hotel room with the new guests called Charlie and MaryJane. That became even more interesting. In the room was my friend and her ex (father of her child) with the new girlfriend. The conversation, fueled by the new guest Charlie, turned to why the father of the child and my friend split up. Eek. More embarrasement and amusement from me.
My friend later told me that the couple were rowing until dawn.
