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 mother's friend's dad diedso the arrangements were all carried out, the coffin was bought, flowers were arranged, and music was chosen to be played as the coffin was lowered in.
This caused a problem.
The dead guy's widow arranged to have the music from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (everything I do) played as the coffin was lowered. But the funeral director obviously wasn't listening, so as the coffin was being lowered into the grave, all of a sudden everyone hears "Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen..." and starts rolling around on the floor laughing.
The funeral director thought it was a bit of an odd choice...
