What A Thing To Say.

That's pretty funny.

I've only been to 4 of them, when I could understand what was being said it was usually 2 people talking about their kids or grand kids.

I have never said anything but I do know people who have broken up in laughter just to ease the tension and pain and then quickly have to get themselves together. I always get too sentimental and have to chock back tears.

I haven't been to many cremations. So I can't join in. :-( But this reminds me that I've wanted to write about the preparation of a cremation which was funny. The post will have more impact in winter, though. Cold winter weather is essential for the story. Just you wait! :-)

Not that I can think of. Word play gives out different meanings,that's why English is so difficult.

Not only kids, but grownups too say 'the darnedest things'

I cannot think of anything right at the moment, but this was a good one.

I do not go to them, but say inappropriate things all the time.

At a cremation, are people not allowed to laugh?

No I sure haven/t. Sometimes the person is trying to no get emotional.

i hope, if this situation is real, the relatives of the departed are not hurt with that remark. otherwise that is a funny joke.

I was working for a very wealthy person for twenty-five years and even later to see that all went as he wanted. I could feel his uneasiness in the last few years as the wealth was becoming a liability. I was shocked at how people close to him reacted the moment he passed away. They were impatient to get all for themselves and I had a very tough time as I had to get things done quickly but fairly. Now it is seven years and not a day passes not thinking about him and how things turned out in the end. In a way like "ears must be burning"; money overrides everything for few especially for the very wealthy - siva

His ears were burning OK .

I have heard something funy it wasn't a joke though bt it was funybt ths your joke is too much

I have not..but there is always a first!

His soul is probably there and ears burning as he hears things he never should have heard lol

That is funny. No, I haven’t heard anything inappropriate or funny at either.

It spoils things a tiny bit when you need to point out a joke but it's one of the features of myLot I guess. My brother-in-law misheard the prayer at the graveside and for many years thought they were saying 'In the name of the Father, the Son and into the hole he goes'.

It's so insensitive of him to behave like this in sad times..

It is funny if taken in the same spirit as I am taking it. But it might also sound insensitive to many.
