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...

Bastard Little BrotherWhen my Gran shuffled off her mortal coil I was brow-beaten into going to the funeral by my family.
Now I don't like funerals. I get nervous. When I get nervous I get the giggles.
Anyway - the funeral service was going full swing and my Grans coffin was sitting out front on rollers ready to go straight to the burning pit (she was being cremated). Service drew to a close, the curtains gently swished together hiding the coffin and there was a rumbling noise as my Gran went on her final journey.
Relieved that I'd gotten through the service without getting the giggles I started to relax when my brother nudged me.
"Any second now a little guy is going to stick his head through the curtains and say "Anyone got a light?""
