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...

piping coldI was in a Pipe band in the early 90's, and one of the older pipers got himself killed in a car crash. The pipe major, another piper and I played at his funeral.
Bad move, in retrospect. Not only was it upsetting to his family, there was a practical problem: keeping the bag inflated is hard enough at the best of times, but a lump in your throat makes it nigh-impossible. At least I have a better idea of how my funeral will not be.
