These will be the best funerals ever!
Now most funerals are sombre, boring affairs, with people crying etc. But two people I know are going to have the funniest funerals I think I will ever attend.

My Dad, who isn't anywhere near dying yet thankfully, used to be a very good ceramics teacher and artist. He hasn't done any for a while, but has a big collection of some hilarious statues and pots. We have a 3ft high Spitting Image-style statue of Maggie Thatcher flicking the V-sign in our garden, by the way. So Dad's slightly twisted sense of humour reached a new level of hilarity when one day he came back from work with a large box with something heavy in it. "Ok, everyone come here, I want to talk about my funeral". We just take it in our stride whilst eating our dinner, but Dad announces that when he's gone he wants to be buried with what he has in the box. Out he pulls a cast of his right arm, fashioned into a 'Night of the Living Dead' pose. "And I've painted it with a glow-in-the-dark glaze as well, so I need it to be sticking out of the ground up to the elbow". Genius.

My current housemate has also expressed that his funeral should be a celebration of his life. So he's asked us to make sure that no-one is attending the ceremony unless they've got a pint in their hand, and as an avid sports fan, he's asked that as his coffin slides away to be cremated, that the Grandstand theme tune is played. The full version with the guitar solo.
