“Unexpected Laughter: 55 Hilariously Awkward Moments Shared at Funerals That Will Leave You Speechless!”
The ceremony ends at this point, and my partner and I absolutely hustle out of the chapel, making no eye contact, and Quasimodo-ing away with our heads down to go scream-laugh in the back alley behind the funeral home.
Later, we apologized to my aggrieved uncles/aunts/cousins at the reception (horror of horrors, we had been sitting right behind them the entire time), and everyone assured us it was one of the more bizarre performances they’d ever seen. But dammit, Joe would have liked it, beautiful rollover crash/comet that he was.
To this date that funeral is the most uncomfortable I’ve ever felt. It was hilarious, but holy hell.

Kinda tame by the standards here, but at my uncles funeral, his ex wife (who had walked out on him to go off partying. Leaving him to raise two teenage boys alone) started taking on the role of grieving widow.
âI canât believe heâs gone. He meant so much to me. Blah blah blah.â
While she was there with the guy she was living with who supported her through her tears.
Funny thing is sheâs our actual blood relation, but we kept him in the family. Called him Uncle but just used her name when talking to her.
