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...

At my uncle's funeral, a good two hundred people attended,being that he was a popular man.
Much of the service was made up of his friends recalling various anecdotes of debauchery – all with some degree of hilarity. The priest didn't look entirely impressed.
Then came the journey to cemetery. How do you get two hundred people from a church to a cemetery? Double-decker buses.
Upon the burial, we discovered that the planks of wood surrounding the grave had been spaced too narrowly, so the coffin wouldn't fit. This lead to various shouts of, "JACK, YOU FAT BASTARD," which caused almost all of us to collapse in fits of laughter.
It was a good send-off.
