Answer 2

As a preacher's kid I went to tons of funerals. I've seen people laugh at them all the time, it is a way of releasing or masking strong emotions. Some of the funniest joke I've ever heard were at funerals. People always say you should remember the good things about the deceased. They do.
I have heard widows who have lost the only man in their life for 30, 40, of 50 years; say, "Well without his snoring I might finally get a good nights sleep." I've listened to children argue over who got punished more, like it was a badge of honor.
The thing I thought was the funniest is when someone placed one of those party whistles(the kind that go in and out) in the lips of the deceased. His wife said to leave it there cause her husband had always said that his funeral was the last party he would be at.

Answer 3

I would have to say "me" at one of my family members funeral. . This took place in the 1950s. This relative was not a prude. So I never felt bad for what happened. I had bleached my hair a month or so prior to the funeral. It needed to be re done. My husband did not like the platinum so I was going back to brown. I did and it did not come out right. It came out a lovely shade of lavender. In the 50s not cool. And the outfit I had planned to wear was a lavender suit. Well I went ahead and wore the suit, and carried my lavender coifs high. My deceased relative I was sure was getting a good chuckle out of it. As my living relatives were not.

Answer 4

This was funny and just plain odd. I was at a funeral for a distant relative and during the service in the funeral home, this woman comes in, walks up to the second pew, sits down and starts crinkling and crackling open this brown paper bag. It's dead quiet in the place so everyone is turning to look at her. She then extracts an egg salad sandwich and starts eating it, even offering a bite to the poor man next to her. I was crying in hysterical laughter at the absurdity of it all.

Answer 5

It was on Six Feet Under...bout a dancer that had a boob job, Sandra Oh, that is the big Greys Anatomy star now, comes in and tells everyone "that was the best her boobs have EVER looked" It was hilarious!!!

Other than that, dont really attend many funerals in person!!

Answer 6

A friend of mine died last year and we went to the funeral. The wake was really sad, but then the service started. It was ALL in Spanish!!! Me and my family didn't understand one word. We weren't the only ones. Most of his friends didn't understand. We were just thinking that he was probably looking down at us and laughing. That was pretty funny.

RIP Johnny

Answer 7

The funeral director lady walking up the aisle and tripped on the carpet coming up.

Answer 8
