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...

Unexpected Indie FuneralIt was the first funeral I'd been to and I was 28 at the time. I was sat with my brothers and cousins as we are all a similar age. The service was in full flow a the local crem and frankly it didn't seem to have much to do with my Auntie so we were all feeling quite detached from it. It was about half way through when the Vicar fella spoke the immortal words "I am the resurrection and the life". Cue a pew full of young mancs perking up, Stone Roses full blast on the internal jukebox. Let me tell you, watching your Auntie's coffin roll off behind those curtians with Mani's bassline pounding through your head, you can't help but think they're off to a better place.
