While the occasion is somber, some of the funniest times I've had have been in funeral parlors.
When my father passed I chose his clothing, since my sister wanted to dress him in plaid for all of eternity. I found a suit that I really liked and picked the appropriate accessories.
My lifepartner is color blind and so I usually get his clothes ready too. I had him in a blue suit with a light blue shirt to set off his eyes. W
When we arrived at the funeral home, I realized why I liked Dad's suit so much. He was dressed exactly like my significant other. I told Mike to stay away from the body and by all means, keep moving so we could tell the difference.
About Me:
I have a list of major faux de pax that have created the being that I am. Married to a musician at one time, I managed to trail toilet paper and smear cigarette ashes on my face in a dinner with "Cannibal and the Headhunters" Artist for "Land of a1000 Dances"
I have run for a beauty title and was close to winning until I made a smart ass remark when answering the judges question.
Just a small town girl that never grew up. And I live close to the Amish.

LOL My mother had her dog cremated and the urn was buried with her. At the wake my brother in law took ashes out of the barbeque and put them in little jars and gave one to everyone there, saying it was the dogs ashes he retrieved from the casket and he felt the family should divide it up. You know it is gross, but what do you expect from a family that fought over who got to get grandfathers plaster of paris dog poop
Yes, as Donna notes, Sister Whickson looks is looking...health. Never laughed at a funeral but I did turn a funeral urn upside down at an estate sale, ashes going everywhere. I don't think they should have been grumpy. If you stick a jar of ashes on a mantel and stick a price tag on it, why wouldn't someone turn it upside down to see the maker's mark? Geeeeesh...but maybe they didn't like the ashes in their hair, on the floor, whatever. Sometimes people are beyond my understanding. Okay, OFTEN.
Welcome to the site. I can identify with laughing at a funeral. One of my favorite blog entries was about a time my husband and I accidentally crashed a funeral of a stranger. Looking forward to getting to know you better here.
