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...

Never take guns to a funeralMy dad got a full-on naval funeral which was going swimmingly until the rifle volley. It hadn't occured to anyone what the effect of a shitload of SLRs going off might have on 78-year-old grandma's rather nervous disposition (the firing party was standing right behind us).
Cue to a loud BANG! followed by an old lady's totally startled AAAAGH!
I guess it was lucky she didn't keel over there and then but I could swear there was some sort of shitty smell coming off the old girl afterwards.
