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...

hughy, you're looking, pasty...a neighbour's husband died, we were invited to what mhairi (the nighbour) called a "wake" for big hughy (the husband). mother and i assumed this was post funeral.
turned out it was in fact pre-funeral and the deceased was in attendance, allowing me to see my first corpse.
i was 5 at the time, i still thought hughy looked like a drag queen.
7 years later i saw my second corpse. that was my mother. less funny i suppose.
