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...

Foot in mouth...Earlier this year me and the missus travelled down to Birmingham for my Gran's dead husband's funeral - all the way down we could smell something vile in the car. Probably a misplaced McDonalds or some dog vomit hidden under the seat.
Finally get there and my Gran's upset but doing that old woman thing of fussing all over the place and treating me like I was 5.
Anyway, we're organising lifts to get everyone to the crematorium when I'm asked if it's ok to go in my car. "Yeah, no problem." I exclaim to the dead guy's brother and sister. "But I'll warn you now it smells like something's died in there!"
Took me about a minute to realise what I had just said and why my Gran and everyone else in the room was in tears.
