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...

Ex-girlfirend's dadI was dragged along to my then girlfriend's dad's funeral. It was a particularly sombre affair, but he had stipulated that he be sent into the flames to the sound of the Tom Lehrer song, "Poisoning pigeons in the park".
Everyone else seemed to find this very upsetting, as it reminded them what a fun guy he was. I hardly knew him, so I started giggling, then howling with laughter and had to be escorted out.
It was made all the worse because I had already decided to dump said girl, but thought the timing was a bit off. How polite.
PS I must stop reading these posts, as I'm in the library, and can't stop laughing. Most distracting for everyone else.
