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 friend HarryWhen the uncle of my mate Harry died, the funeral directors asked the family if there was any particular piece of music they would like played in the crematorium. As the uncle was a fan of popular gosple music they requested "Oh Happy Days" by the Statler Brothers (it was sung in one of the Sister Act films).
At the end of the funeral, everyone stood in solem respect as the coffin moved down the conveyor belt and the music started, "MONDAY TUESDAY, HAPPY DAYS, WEDNESDAY THURSDAY, HAPPY DAYS"....*
*Didn't happen. Thankyou to Mr. H Hill for the anecdote.
