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...

FUNeralMy Dad's was a surreally sad and yet fun affair.
"Land of hope and glory" from the last night of the proms on the way in, a cross of St George in flowers on the coffin and an atheist service with poetry and some great music. And, as the coffin was being taken through the curtains "Always look on the bright side of life", cue people whistling as they went to the wake. I got phenomenally pissed and had a great time!
It was pretty much as he wanted except that the editors at the coventry evening telegraph (our local rag) wouldn't let us announce his death with the words "Fell off his perch" as they thought it was inapproprate the self-righteous bunch of spaztards.
I only ever have to apologise for girth.
