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...

cock it.My grandad died a few years ago. As he was a fabulous old codger his funeral had to be brilliant.
The church was loaded with BRIGHT pink and purple flowers and there were family photos around the coffin in a sort of "TA DAAA!" pose.
This was made even BETTER by the fact that the deceased had left a huge collection of ghastly ties. I wore 2.
Back at his house there was a RIDICULOUS amount of champage and BRILLIANT food. I got appallingly drunk and got a curry as well. Then raced my brother in the old codgers wheelchairs.
It was great. Especially as I nicked a load of his books and he was a big fan of Plato. (and knew how to say "oi! slave bring me some soup!" in ancient greek for some reason).
