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...

My family generally have a good wake after a funeraland my auntie's was no exception.
We all rolled up at the pub and filled the place, and were soon drying our eyes and admiring one another's new babies, engagement rings, cars etc, eating and drinking and generally having a ball.
The food at our table ran out so I popped over to the bar and picked up another huge tray of sarnies.
'Sorry, you can't have those!' said the barmaid. 'They're for the funeral!'
Puzzled, I looked around for what I assumed was the 'other' funeral. 'Are there two funerals in, then?' I asked.
'No,' she said, 'only one. I dunno who all these other people are, but that table in the corner must be the funeral. Poor things, don't they look sad? I do feel sorry for them.'
It seemed too complicated to explain that they were the only non-funeral guests in the pub, so I said, OK, sorry...
and sent someone else for the food.
