have you ever laughed at a funeral ?

Honestly, once as a teen the whole cheerleader squad attended a wake for one of the athletes grandparents whom none of us knew.

While sitting at wake, we found ourselves giggling for no reason. I am a very caring person and was mortified. I believe it was caused by nerves and tension and it's never happened again.

Yes, I have. But I didn't know the person. Their death was sad, yes, but I stayed in the basement of the funeral home most of the time when I was laughing with my cousins, dad, and uncle. A lot of people were laughing, actually. The mood was sad, but you tell the people laughing were just cracking jokes to lighten up the mood.

Yes, I laughed, but not in front of the daughter of the person who has died, whom was crying. Not in front of the person who had died's husband, who was sad. I didn't laugh at them. And I respected the fact that it was a funeral, and I prayed respectively when we had to pray.

I'm a goofy person, and it's only natural for me to laugh. I wouldn't say I had FUN, because, it was a funeral and to say I had fun would be cold-hearted. I laugh a lot, and a funeral is not goinf to take away my humor. But, I am serious when I need to be, and respectful when I need to be.

I wish the family who had to deal with the loss the best of luck :)

Buh-bye~! Emii~!

No, I have laughed during visitation talking with friends and maybe shedding light on some of the humorous things I may have done with my deceased friend but never at the actual funeral.

Yes I have. but it wasn't because of the funeral, it was because a friend was being a moron and made fun of the deceased. I knew I shouldn't have, but it was just his stupidity and the joke that made me laugh. :( Doesn't matter if you laugh at a funeral. You could be laughing at the times you had with the person if you knew him/her. No harm done, unless you were laughing AT the person.

all the time. Honestly. My family is quirky in that way. On both sides. We rather remember and laugh, instead of mourn and cry. Then there was that one time when I was little and it was my first funeral and I and my cousins ended up slapping around the body infront of the entire congregation. True story. But everyone laughed.

YES! Not trying to be mean or sound mean. But my biological grandfather passed I didn't really know him like that & at his funeral the black preacher was acting like a stereo-typical black preacher like how they act in movies & they had that weird piano thing playing and he was yelling. & I had to put my head down and just laugh my a** off I knew it was wrong but I couldn't help it. If you could visualize it you would laugh too. To add worst me & my cousins have this look at each other thing we do & then they started laughing & it was just down hill from there. & my auntie fell out over the casket (like jada pinkett did on the movie Kingdom Come) which didn't help with the laughing cause she's the extra dramatic person of the family. So it was just too much I had to walk out.

Absolutely. At my Great Uncle's funeral, everyone wore golf shirts and the pastor doing the funeral was a RIOT. Exactly what Uncle G would have wanted. :)

I'd like my own funeral to be a party.

Everybody grieves in a different way. I think sometimes we laugh when we think about what the deceased loved one would have thought of all this.. It's not unusual to feel guilty for experiencing a pleasurable moment at a time when everyone is suppose to feel sad or be sad. The best thing is to grieve even if it is in your own way instead of holding it all in. If you hold it in, it can take a toll on your health.

I have. Funerals can have a full range of emotions and conversations. While talking with family members, you can't help making a comment "Now <name of dead relative> will be a pain in the a@@ to <another dead relative> up in heaven". Humor is a good way to deal with things.

well i am one of those guys that cant help but to laugh at anything. i was at a funeral and i cried but yet i was laughing at the same time. i tried to cover it but i just couldnt do it
