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...

Traveller funeralsProbably the most incredible thing that can happen in your life. I would recommend them to anyone.
My great grandmother was part of a "travelling" family, we called her gypsy gran, and she died last year. Most of my cousins and uncles only went because we wanted to show support our granddad.
The Gypsy half of the family show up 3 days before the funeral and all 9 of them move into my great-grans tiny two bedroomed flat. They then proceed to take everything of worth out of the flat and leave the junk.
Not only that but at the wake my cousins and I got so irritated with their constant gypsy rubbish that we left to go get rubbered and play pool down the road, our parents joined us very soon after.
Not funny, but definately an experience.
Whoop, first post!
