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

So sad. People need to learn that you never speak ill of the dead

That's awful. They could be trying to mask their pain with humor, but there is a time and place for everything.

depends on the guy in the casket if he has a weird sense of humor he might not mind and wanted his funeral to be a happy one I would of course there would be mourning bit like nick swardson said higher john stamos to be there or maybe the grim reaper I would prefer both

Yeahhhhh..... that's only really acceptable at Fred Phelps's funeral, or Kim Jong-un's, or Chris Brown's if he doesn't stop being an annoying ****.

I'd want my funeral to be like that. If anyone showed up. I'd also want there to be a party afterwards and for everyone to get drunk.

It's one thing to be light hearted at the viewing, but during the actual funeral and eulogy you should show respect for the dead AND the family who are grieving.

There are still cliques of Americanized hipster douche canoes. OP just appears to either know or hang out with way more of them than usual.
