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...

CremationA story that has passed into the mythology of my fairly large family, which concerns one of my aunts who was going to the funeral of a distant work colleague, many years ago:
She arrived about half an hour early on the day, and was admitted into the chapel, where she was left alone with the coffin. After a few minutes, she started to get bored. She saw nothing to satisfy her restlessness in the empty chapel - except a little panel at the end, which provoked her curiosity.
Mourners arriving later were surprised to find out that the coffin and the corpse had 'mysteriously disappeared'.
