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...

Nice one, MumAt my Great-Aunt's wake (I didn't go to the funeral, I was at school and it was during exams...bah), we were sitting around in my Nan's kitchen, eating sandwiches and stuff, making awkward conversation, my Nan says "It was a lovely ceremony, wasn't it? very nice." and my mother comes out with "Yeah, yeah it was. She'd have been pleased to death..." *cue uncomfortable silence, punctuated only by stifled giggling of me, my brother and my cousin*.
'Great' indeed she was, tiny old lady, one of those aunties who always had a cupboard filled with chocolate and crisps, its incredible that I wasn't morbidly obese as a child.
