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...

Sorry Gran....Anybody remember when Nick Hancock used to present Room 101 on BBC2? Well, picture the scene...... There I was, at the young age of 10, sitting quietly next to my 12 year old cousin at the crematorium.
My Gran's coffin was placed delicately on the conveyor belt and red velvet curtains automatically wrapped around it to obscure it from view. Just as the priest finished his service, you could hear the conveyor starting to move...
Cue me and my cousin... "pfft Room 101, Room 101, Room 101" as the theme tune went. I still have memories of my older cousin turning around to us, mascara running down her face, and the most evil stare possible. Oops.
