pedro27: When was the last funeral you went too?
11
I went to my neighbour's funeral about 20 years ago. There was another one after, but it wasn't as funny.11
Ted was a master in the art of the typically Welsh dry humour. He was so dry, I often didn't pick up on his gags until 10 minutes after parting ways.
He became ill suddenly and had, but a few days in which to organise his own funeral. About a week afterwards I picked up the order of service which had been sitting on the table and sadly began to read.
During the service, the vicar, who unusually in these parts was a black man, switched to the Welsh language half way through. What I hadn't realised up until that evening was that Ted had chosen to have his send off in...The Babel Chapel.
The man had been dead a week and he was still making me laugh.

I remember a friend telling me about when he went to a couple of family weddings when he was a young man. On both occasions an old aunt who attended the weddings insisted on, to his annoyance, tapping him on the shoulder and with a wink, whispered in his ear, "you're next," then chuckled.
The following year he had to attend a family funeral and of course the aunt was there. It gave him great pleasure to tap here on the shoulder and with a wink, whisper in her ear, "you're next."

Sometimes the funeral is the easier part. The hard part is watching someone go thru a terminal illness. In this case, the funeral is a relief. One kind of trauma ends, and a different kind begins.

aries1234: I understand the Budist funerals can last up to a week
Funny you should say that, it reminds me of an occasion a couple of years ago. I was driving past a Buddhist centre in Manchester that I hadn't ever attended, I had a bit of time to spare so I thought I'd call in to see what times the classes were held there.As I walked towards the centre I could see it was really busy, lots of people around the entrance. As I walked in, out of the throngs of people a woman came towards me with a tray of cakes. "Would you like a cake," she asked me, "there's tea and coffee over there."
I thanked her, took a piece of cake and walked over to get a cup of coffee.
I collected my coffee, turned to the woman and asked, "is it always this busy on a Tuesday?"
Imagine my embarrassment when she replied, "aren't you here for the funeral?"

2 years ago. Dead hero in the coffin and not a dry eye in the house, it was in that moment when I realised that those stories we hear as children are not just stories but proof that there’s something good in this world and it’s worth fighting for.11
