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...

Brush that out...When my dad passed away, he had 2 wishes for his ashes.
Half was to be scattered on the goalmouth of Bathgate Thistle's football ground, the other half was to be scattered on the lawn of a farmhouse in Inverness where my brother had stayed while the new house weas being built.
Come the day of scattering, myself and older brother had the honours, which we did with much solemnity and tears in the eyes. Being summer, the grass on this particular bit of lawn was a tad on the long side, so the remains of pops kind of sat on the top.
Queue one of bro's cats walking out of the bushes and rolling around, covering herself in ash.
We kind of just looked at each other then fell about laughing and I am damn sure pops was laughing too.
