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...

After my Nana's funeral,the 'elders' went off into another room for a private discussion. We lesser ones sat outside in anticipation as it seemed that there might be some ad hoc redistribution of effects.
When they emerged, I was summoned first,
to everyone's surprise as I was not exactly Nana's favourite.
I was then presented with a wooden stool, originally stolen by my grandparents from the chapel where they were caretakers.
Great sentimental value - I fell off it and broke my arm in May 1964.
Gee, thanks, Nana.
