For those...That is so "spot on", Amalee. <br />For those that do not understand the glories of a proper Catholic funeral, I should explain that one of the best in my memory was that of my own mother 25 years ago. There was much grief in church and at graveside, obviously, but afterwards we all repaired to the small local village hotel. There was the usual chit-chat initially until a good friend of the family who owns a rubber face, made a humorous remark and pulled a hilarious face. We all started to laugh uncontrollably. I suddenly felt terribly embarrassed and looked around guiltily. Right beside me was my aunt, my mother’s sister, who had literally fallen off her stool with laughter. I guess some of it was hysterical relief but that was irrelevant. A good funeral provides outlets for grief, sympathy, reminiscence and a damned good laugh. That is certainly what I would want at mine.<br /><br />Thanks for that lovely and amusing article.<br /><br />BTW – what is the answer?
