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...

My Auntie Carol died some years ago......and the priest conducting the funeral had just about finished his SATs judging by his baby face. He had to keep rushing over to his lectern to check what to do next. She was cremated so her coffin was on rollers ready to go behind those curtains and he almost forgot to flick the switch so he very nearly finished the service with her still there, and then at the end, the very next sentence following 'Amen' was 'Which way do I get out of here?' followed by a little snigger. I'd be willing to bet it was his first.
