I haven't been to one...I think I'd decline if I was asked to any aside from immediate family, I'm not comfortable with the whole deal...

I officiated a memorial service for my friend Carrie when she died 5 years ago. I became an internet-ordained reverend several years back in order to marry some friends and have performed several weddings now (two more coming up this spring) but I wasn't prepared Carrie's family to ask me to perform the ceremony. How could I refuse a request like that.
Hard gig. Tough crowd.

2005 really sucked for me. I had to be a pall bearer at not only my grandma's funeral, but also an aunt that died in her early 50s too. If people think attending funerals is a downer, try carrying a wooden a box containing your dead loved one around for an hour & riding in a limo right behind the hearse with whoever happens to be grieving the most for them. It makes merely attending funerals feel like a day at the beach.

Haven't done that yet, thank god. But performing the ceremony was no fun either. Carrie was a comedian and I was instructed to "keep it fun and funny."
She also happened to be Carol Burnett's daughter.
So I'm on a stage in front of 600 people packed into a small Beverly Hills theater and I'm looking at Harvey Corman, Tim Conway, Carol Burnett - all in tears, and trying to keep it fun and funny.
We had a few laughs - Carrie would have loved it.
i was forced to the funeral, i told my mom im not even going to my own

Great Grandmother. It was very hard because she helped raise my crazy ass. :(Yeah...Dustin's gonna have a difficult time when his grandmother goes, I don't think it will affect him very much when his parents die (as bad as that sounds, it's true)...His grandmother raised him...Thank GOD!...I'm so glad he's nothing like his parents...And, his grandmother and I get along very well...She's a good person, I'll be sad to see her go, too...

I'll go to the funerals, I like anything fancy that you have to get dressed up for. I don't do the after party thing though. I get a lot of shit for that actually, but I don't care. I like to deal with stuff on my own time.
I guess I enjoy funerals, when they aren't that long anyway. An hour is perfect, hour and a half is good. Everyone is all dressed up, the organ is playing, you look up at the high ceilings and at the stained glass pictures... You get to sit down mostly, a few sing a longs and bible passages then you're back to your life.
I'll actually admit to one funeral that was fun and just really nice, the one for my friend's dad. It was a jewish funeral, my funeral is going to be a jewish. Yamakas were made with funerals in mind and I think it's a well known fact that jews put the fun in funeral.

I don't mean to be an "upper" and lighten up this thread but......I loved the Carol Burnett show. Tim Conway is a comic genius. His "old man" character always had me in stitches.
ok.....back to mourning

That has to be the worst. I can't even imagine it. My mom is the greatest, and I couldn't bear living with my dad alone, he's already annoying.

I understand that was pretty recent. Sorry for your loss zwoti.
