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...

Uncle JamesI was only 6 when my uncle died in a helicopter crash. Not only was he my favourite uncle, but he was also my Godfather. The funeral was held in New Zealand, but we held a memorial service on the same day in England. It was a truly beautiful and moving service for an amazing guy.
I've not been to many funerals, but I've been present when people are dying or have recently died. It always amazes me how peaceful and dignified it can be. I went to an old couple the other week, where she had passed away in her sleep. Hubby found her dead in the morning. He told me how they had been sweethearts during the war and how they had just celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. They were so clearly devoted to each other, and he was so devastated that I ended up in tears as well.
