Today, I attended the funeral of a close friend. Most of the other guests were openly grinning and joking around, and the guy in front of me kept muttering, "That's what she said!" during the eulogy. FML

Then it seems you were his only true friend there.

That's really sad and disrespectful. Unless he was the type of guy who would rather people joke around than be sad

Don't worry about the people, At least you paid your respects

I wouldn't want people to be sad at my funeral. In fact, I'd want the eulogies to be full of jokes.

If my best friend didn't make "that's what she said" jokes at my funeral, I'd haunt his ass.

Came here to say that, have my like :)

Come on. Laugh a little. Its good to smile and have a good life during a rough time in life

I'm late to this party but I am pretty shocked at how many people assume that the deceased would find this disrespectful. When I was in college, my friends and I spoke extensively about the expectations we had for our own funerals one night. A friend of mine said he wanted his to be a circus, and anyone who cried would be forced to kiss his peeling scalp. Several friends in my life have stated that they want their bodies to be propped up or for grim reapers to be present, or for that matter, all attendants having to dress as such. My late boyfriend, at his memorial service, we told jokes and had belly dancers and then a parade with rave lights. My point being is... for all we know, the laughing, snickering, etc is part of the deceased wishes. Maybe the "that's what she said" was a joke between the dude and the deceased. Having respect for the dead is understanding their wishes, and not being an ass to others just because you don't understand their form of grief.

A funeral is a place to celebrate the life of the deceased. Not a place to mourn and act all depressed. You should be happy that your friend lived as long as he did. Most people aren't that lucky

You're supposed to celebrate their life. Not mourn their death..

The joking is what many people do when they're going through hardships like that. If it's light joking, I find it acceptable, but if i were in your position, I would've punched that ****** in the back of the head and bitched him out
