What are the most amusing or interesting comments [View all]

you ever heard at a celebration of life/funeral service, wake, etc.

A friend’s son at his dad’s celebration of life last year.
Not verbatim but close . After presenting details of his dad’s life he finished with this.
Our dad loved his wife, his children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, siblings, cousins etc. he loved his profession, his farm, his country- the mountains, the beaches, the people, but what he loved more than all of them and those was a big head Ganja spliff. Indeed my children wanted to know why das chose cremation and I told them that I thought he wanted to go out smoking.
You cannot imagine the shock and the laughter in that cathedral. He ended with I and we love you dad.
Then the rev who was also laughing told the gathering that he wasn’t sure whether to read the next lesson or to pray fi dat boy (son is early 50s).
Son was speaking the truth.😀
