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...

3 for the price of one.....My family arn't the the closest in the world - and when my dad died end of last year I seized the opportunity, as only I can to turn it into a rather tasteless joke. Cue many looks of horror/disgust when I calmly asked my work collegues "Whats Equalizors dad getting for Christmas?" "Cremated!".
Ahh, I'm so proud. And Dad would have been too.
Since it's not actually a funeral story and continuing the theme of my dysfunctional family...
My mum attended her Dads funeral, (in fact we all did). It was, as you'd expect an extremely solemn affair, held in a rather old Cemetary building.
Not only did the vicar get his name wrong multiple times,as well as the name of his children, but my mum ended up in a fit of the giggles which set her sister off.....
and finally...
One of our customers runs a Funeral Directors.
On one occasion they were given a CD to play at the funeral, I believe the chosen track was to be "In My Life" by the Beatles. So imagine the fun, when in the middle of a quiet, packed church "HELP!" by the Beatles kicks in, as only "Help!" can.
Wonderful.
