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 Dad was late for his own funeralHe died in Africa and we weren't sure when his body was going to be flown home, but we had to tell the relly's something, so we just estimated and picked a date for the funeral. Would you believe there are companies entirely dedicated to shipping stiffs around the world? Who knew? They fly standby by the way, unless you pay extra. All depends on how much luggage there is or something.
Just think about that next time you check your Louis Vuitton. It could be drushing up against a corpse in the cargo hold.
Turns out, his flight came in about 3 hours too late, so we had to improvise with an empty urn.
He probably would have found that really funny. That and the SuperTramp tape that we played (cause her really liked it), flipped over to the other side and started playing Pink Floyd The Wall during the sermon.
There was nowhere to go for a smoke, so the funeral director let us use the cold area in the back with the shiny tables. Creepy but fun.
