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

Today, my family attended the funeral of an old family friend's baby, who died in childbirth. Afterwards, my husband went around snickering and quietly telling dead baby jokes to the other attendees. FML
Today, my (now ex) best friend wore funeral attire to my wedding, and instead of a speech, she gave a eulogy, making it sound like my new husband had brutally murdered me. FML
Today, I got a horrible case of the hiccups while at my friend's mother's funeral, resulting in me squeaking loudly every five seconds during the eulogy. My friend glared daggers at me until I left the room, then later accused me of being an insensitive bitch for "trying to ruin the funeral." FML
Today, at my mother's open-casket funeral, my sister-in-law went to pay her respects. As she stood in front of the body, she coughed, muttering "Bitch" in the process. Either nobody else noticed or nobody cared, and she went on her way, noticeably not choked up at all. FML
Today, my friend had to leave work early for a funeral. As he was on his way out, I wanted to say something. All I could think of was, "Have fun!" FML
Today, at the funeral home where I work, I asked my boss if it was time to "bring out the stiff". I didn't realize the guy's family was not only in the building, but within earshot as well. FML
Today, a friend asked me to cover his shift at work because his grandmother died. Like any decent friend, I obliged. Later, after leaving, I walked by a bar and saw him inside, laughing and doing shots with all of our friends. FML
Today, I attended my husband's funeral and my son carried out the eulogy, which basically turned into a character assassination, ending with "and I hope Hell is hot enough for you, old man." Almost our entire family agreed with every word he said. FML
Today, I attended my mother's funeral. My husband came too, and during the service, I kept hearing him giggling. I wrote it off as the usual awkward nerves, until he started snorting too, and I caught sight of the iPhone under his jacket. He was reading this very site. FML
Today, I walked past a church with a bunch of people standing outside waiting for the bride and groom to walk out. When the church doors opened, I yelled congratulations as loud as I could. It was a funeral. FML

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

I don't know about you guys, but in where I'm from, that's more or less how funerals go. The emphasis is set on reminiscing all the happy moments the deceased has brought us, instead of mourning over their passing.

It's one thing to reminisce about the happy moments and it's another to be disrespectful. One is expected while the other is unforgivable.

After going to too many funerals for my friends already, I understand trying laugh through the pain, so to speak. But if some mother ****** kept saying "that's what she said" during one my friends funerals I'd clock that piece of shit right in his ******* mouth. Then look up in the sky and say "you're welcome". That's way too disrespectful no matter how lighthearted the funeral may be, you don't pull that shit.

I think it's more that people are uncomfortable at funerals. So they joke around because they don't know how else to handle death appropriately

My little brother came with us to a funeral, and being the little kid that he was, kept trying to joke around since everyone else was "so gloomy". When they open the casket for viewing, he leaned over and whispered loudly to me "I see dead people". Point is, some people don't grasp/deal with death and empathy the way the rest of us might; such as young children.

Ok is it just me or did almost everyone suddenly get keen reader: - student ninja and master ninja both all at the same time today?

You usually do that after the funeral

Sorry #18 .....you're*
olpally 32
You're not sorry, #20. Admit it. You just did that for the up votes.
olpally 32
Lol at the people down voting me. He would've said something to help the op after his initial grammar correction to #18. His comment wasn't insightful, just a smart ass correction and he has "halla, halla" in his profile. And doesn't spell "you" completely in his profile. Lmao. As for me, I commented originally on the 2nd page, FYI.
olpally 32
Yeah, I'm getting buried, seems like everyone loves grammar corrections. Haha. Just speaking the truth whether you like it or not. And now I sound crazy for responding to myself and drawing unwanted attention... Oops. Well, take care FML community. Goodnight

I agree that's really disrespectful
Mossears133 15
I'm glad I'm not the only one that see it that way. I really don't like saddness (it's a sucky feeling!), so I would want my friends and family to still laugh and smile at my memory instead of moping around being sad! I like to think that's how OP's friend was n_n
1PersonIsMyWorld 22
Ya im sorry op. Ive lost someone recent and if I had people acting like that at the funeral..I'd smart off something. Some people want their funerals to be a more happier event..but then again moarning will always take place. .it's an important part of someone passing away. I'm truly sorry op...I hope you find comfort.

What about it also being disrespectful to the person giving the eulogy speech?
raww77 12
dependeds on the dead person for me I would want my furneral to be a happy time with jokes and my will will be the most badass one ever bit that is just me
ohcheriecherie 20
I'd rather have people celebrate my life than mourn my death excessively. but it must be hard to be grieving in that kind of situation, OP

who the **** does that at a funeral?

I just hope my funeral is like that! I'm that type of guy though.
PterodactylMan 23
I'd like a grim reaper standing in the back of my funeral, is there something wrong with that?

Nothing at all, nothing. at. all.

#25: "Calling members out like that exhibits a level of immaturity rarely seen. Watch yourself."
Welshite 39
Hmm, I don't see the connection between joking with a commenter and making a completely uncalled for jab at a member who hasn't even posted.
1PersonIsMyWorld 22
30--what? r u stalking him now? and basically everyone on fml will stand up for bullying other members..it is immature and not needed.
CoffeeChickBlows 13
HAHAHA, reading the comments, seeing hers here then copying what he said to me on another FML is "stalking"? Wow, you sound like one of those 12 year olds that say "OMG YOU'RE LOOKING AT MY FML PROFILE?? STOP STALKING ME!!!" Get a sense of humor. And a sense of proportion.
1PersonIsMyWorld 22
wow..how do u know so much about me?
Mr_Satan 11
I dunno CoffeeChick, you're sounding pretty defensive there..... Are you suuuure you're not stalking Welshite?
Nordrag 26
I stalk welshite. I mean... What?
Cazz91 21
Funerals are emotional and sad. Talking about it can be hard and very crappy... however, I didn't realize people would be so upset in this FML after reading about OP's misfortune to comment jab at other people within the comments because of their original comments. This site really does show some love and compassion for others in their darkest moments. :P I love you all!

That's horrible, sorry you had to sit through that OP! :(

#26: WORST. JOKE. EVER. I used to think "Did you get your hair cut? No, I got all my hairs cut" was the worst joke ever. Thank you for showing me I was wrong. Now don't do that again.
ryanthecheeseguy 18
My god, Op. They're all assholes. My condolences for the loss if your friend.
cuppycakeslove 20
What a bunch of shitty people. Atleast you were a true friend OP
RoseBlack123 37
I would've just walked out if I were you. People can be so disrespectful
COSCO 13
I wouldn't, I'd ask them to shut up and show some respect or leave, but these guys probably wouldn't have any respect for anything.
punkyboy 11
how would walking out of the funeral be better? you would be just as disrespectful as the people making jokes if you just walked out.
