Funeral Feed-up
Me and my parents went to a funeral a few years back for an elderly Great aunt of mine. She was quite a well respected lady in the community and there were a large number of mourners there. Suffice to say the service in the church itself was quite a traditional affair, but not terribly remarkable.
After the service, the congregation filed out of the church to wait whilst the cremation took place.
My mother took this opportunity to pop to the loo, striding out a few minutes later to join my Dad who was on the edge of the hushed reverential crowd waiting, to whom she sniffed the air rather loudly and said in a rather loud voice: "Mmmm. I'm hungry. I smell barbeque!" .
30 faces turning to my mother with a look of shock said it all.

I pulled at a funeral
Long before wedding crashers I knew the score, take plenty of hankies and dish them out in a caring way to anyone and be that shoulder to cry on. This makes you look like a nice thoughtfull caring chap and gives you your in for later on.

Then you can chat them up after the meal/buffet.

Only downside is you only get invited to a couple a year and the pickings can be slim.

Ah yes, but the best thing about funerals is you can just say you saw the obituary in the paper and came to pay your respects.
And spend a whole week at the crematorium waiting for the fitties to show up.
