Funerals IIIt's been 7 years since we last asked for your funeral stories and what with Lady Voldemort's coming up, we thought we'd ask again.
The deeply upsetting, the sad and the ones that make you want to hug the world all have a place here on b3ta, tell us about them.
Thanks to Pig Bodine for the suggestion

My cousin died in a car crash just before his 21st birthdayand shortly before his wedding.
Tragic enough, but somewhat enhanced by the way the minister delivering the eulogy got the names of his fiancee and pet yorkshire terrier the wrong way round throughout, accompanied by heartrending wails from his bereaved mother each time he got it wrong.
Then they realised that the CD of Tina Turner's 'Simply the Best' was still in the cd player at home, rather than it's case. But the day was saved by the geriatric organist, who happened to have a copy of the sheet music! Never mind that she had to play it by sight, I'm sure he would have appreciated being sent off by his favourite tune being mauled at 1/10th speed through a bontempi with every third note wrong.
Yes, we had to laugh.
