Officiating at a funeral
The priest officiating at my grandmother's funeral was a transplant from Ecuador recently beamed down into the parish. He followed a written script with personal pronouns replaced with (he/she), so the text could used for someone of either sex. Predictably, my grandmother's sex flipped back and forth erratically throughout the service.

My cousin's funeral was held last month while the conclave in Rome was being held to choose a new pope. The officiating priest stated that my cousin was such a good man that the new pope would choose my cousin's name as a gesture of respect. Didn't happen, but I liked the thought!
