Today, at my grandparent's funeral, we were waiting for the pastor. He was fashionably late because he couldn't find his sunglasses and had gone to buy new ones. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at my grandmother's funeral, my senile grandfather kept asking me "Where's granny? I've been looking for her, but I can't find her." FML
Today, I went to my grandfather's funeral. As I stood there, bawling my eyes out, my aunt came over and put her arm around me. She leaned her head close to mine. I assumed she was going to say something comforting. Instead she asked where I'd bought my shoes from. FML
Today, it was my great aunt's funeral. We all had to wait two hours for the service to begin, because they forgot to dig the grave. FML
Today, at my grandad's funeral, as my dad and aunt poured his ashes into the hole, a strong gust of wind blew the ashes into my throat. I choked on my grandad. What made it worse was that the vicar had to stop her prayer to laugh. FML
Today, I attended the wrong funeral. I spent twenty minutes trying to hide and walk away without being too conspicuous. FML
Today, I was bored out of my mind at work. I told my coworker he was lucky to be leaving early. I forgot the reason of his early departure was to go to his grandfather's funeral. FML
Today, an elderly man came into my place of work wearing a nice suit. I commented, saying said he looked nice and asked what the special occasion was. He was going to a funeral. FML
Today, my boyfriend said he couldn't come to my grandfather's funeral because he was at his cottage and couldn't make it. Later that day, when driving home from the graveyard I saw him walking down the street, with another girl. FML
Today, I went to my uncle's funeral. His eulogy was ruined by an annoying little kid repeatedly talking over the pastor, who didn't pause for anything, no matter how many times his parents told him to stop. The complimentary lunch was horrible, and the hearse driving him to the cemetery got into an accident. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he couldn't spend the day with me as he had his grandmother's funeral. Lonely, I went shopping and I bumped into his mum having lunch with his 'dead' grandma. FML

Clothes don't make the man. Attitude doesn't make the man. Sunglasses make the man. With good sunglasses, you're damned right he was fashionably late

Them material possessions. Obviously he thinks he's gonna get to take those fashionable sunglasses to heaven with him. Too bad they're gonna get stolen or broken when he falls and hits the bottom of hell.

That's just plain horrible. Even if he's not related to OP's grandparent, he still need to be respectful by being professional about his job.

So you would rather get priest with migraine or who couldnt see? I have friend who just cant be outside in bright day withouth sunglasses. Seems many in here jump in conclusions.

OP, I am so very sorry for your loss. I truly hope that you are able to find comfort in knowing that your grandparents are together and happy and healthy in a wonderful place. I was about to jump to the same conclusions until I read this. It's true, we don't know if this pastor needs shades for medical reasons or not. But, I sincerely hope that this is the case. Either way, the pastor should have called and apologized when he arrived. And if it turns out that this "pastor" just needed shades to look good, I would advise tg e OP to file a complaint.

That reminds me of the priest who married 2 of my friends. He was an hour late because he decided to fly back from holidays on the day of the wedding. He didn't bother apologizing either. Unbelievable. Sorry for your loss OP, this guy clearly shouldn’t be filling this position. I’d fill a complaint to the Church if I were you, so it does not happen again, especially in such distressful times.
