Funerals IIIt's been 7 years since we last asked for your funeral stories and what with Lady Voldemort's coming up, we thought we'd ask again.
The deeply upsetting, the sad and the ones that make you want to hug the world all have a place here on b3ta, tell us about them.
Thanks to Pig Bodine for the suggestion

My Gramp died 4 years agoBefore he had a stroke, and lost his ability to talk, he had always joked with my Mum about his funeral arrangements.
Nobody was to wear black, everyone had to be as colourful as possible.
He was a big fan of Queen and had chosen two songs he wanted played:
'Who Wants to Live Forever' while his coffin was wheeled into the crem.
'Don't Stop Me Now' as his coffin was conveyed into the furnace at the end of the surface.
Unfortunately I missed the funeral because I was out of the country, but apparently it was a fantastic day. A real celebration of his life rather than a mourning of his death.
