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 late mate Gav...... had a very large funeral when he died a few years ago (Motor Neurone Disease - well all thought it would be the bikes that did it, but there you go).
I had driven over to Edinburgh with my Mum and mate Andy , who had known Gav from when we were all (ostensibly) students years ago. All went well, mostly held it together all throughout. Then back to Gav's parent's house. As we stood in the garden reminiscing and eating, telling each other about stuff we'd got up to and the like, there was a flash of lightning and a huge clap of thunder.
"Fucks sake", I said, slightly too loud, "you give a kid a new toy..."
