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...

The missus' uncle is a priest....He's told me some great stories (usually when he's had a few jars) about funerals he's conducted.
The vestry for his church isn't massive, so he will only allow one coffin to be left in the church over night... So he's had families actually fighting over who's stiff gets to stay in the church for the funeral next day.
He also told me a great one about perfoming a burial at sea. The weather was really rough, everyone was throwing up, and the coffin went in at the wrong time (and took the flag with it)
Lenght? girth? Beers drunk? Can't remember...
