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...

Not much experience really.My Grandma on my mother's side died in January. Was my first funeral despite being 19, and I was freaked out, but everything was quite sweet. Had been very close to her, but my family were keeping their sense of humour about them.
This was evident after the cremation. We went to a pub for lunch. I ordered pint of Fosters and steak and scampi. I asked my mum how I should have my steak done, not having had it before (deprived).
Mother suggested 'Oh have it slightly well done but you don't want it cremated or anything.'
She then went bright red, but the rest of the family pissed themselves laughing and it was all well once again.
No other stories other than my parents attending my Great Uncle's funeral and having my mum give me a great rendition of how my Great Aunty nearly threw herself into the grave after him.
