Putting the Fun in Funeral
Some 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...

TRUE STORY
A wealthy man was killed in an accident and his face was badly
disfigured. The funeral director telephoned the widow and asked if she
had a frontal picture of him showing his face. She said yes and that
she would have it ready for him if he could stop at her home to get it.
When he arrived at her home, she was badly broken up crying her eyes out
and when he asked her for the picture, she said that it was 'over there
on the mantle'. He went and got it and told her that he would telephone
her to let her know when she could come down to the funeral home for the
viewing. Because they were quite wealthy, the funeral director called
in a cosmetologist to do an extra special job on the husband. After
awhile, the funeral director telephoned the widow and said, "Mrs. Brown,
you can come now and view your husband.' When she entered the reposing
room, she let out a shriek amid much sobbing. This was to be expected as
they had been a close-knit couple. The only unusual thing is that she
did NOT let up after a little while and the funeral director approached
her and said that HE thought that her husband looked perfect and that
he'd even called in the cosmetologist to make sure that it would be an
extra-special job and that he thought that her husband looked exactly
like the picture. The poor grieving lady turned to him and said, "Yes,
but you put my first husband's face on my second husband!!!
