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...

A selection of hits- My brother and I got snorty over the limo driver's extremely long face and mopey manner... at my father's funeral. I am so sorry, really I am, put it down to grief coming out in strange ways.
- School friend of mine (school was very long ago for me) was shot dead by her husband. Much weeping and due solemnity. The hymn is announced. Familar tune begins on the sound system... Guns N Roses?! And me without my lighter.
- Thanks to seeing life as a never-ending adventure of learning, as of three weeks ago I now know how to prepare a dead body for burial, from last breath to laying a lily on the mound of earth. (Fact: You must bind the jaw soon after expiry, or the tongue will stick out and you won't be able to get it back in.)
Well you bloody asked, didn't you?
