Today, my parents and I attended the funeral of my husband's mother. It was open-casket, and my parents went to take a look. My mum muttered, "With a dress that tacky, no wonder she died", and my dad chuckled. A fight quickly erupted, and the police were called. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom talked me into going to a funeral since my dad wouldn't go. It was for one of her classmates. When it was our time to view the casket, we paused in front of it for a second before my mom leans over to me and says, "What if I told you that was really your dad?" FML
Today, I was at my mom's funeral. My sisters and I were sitting in the front row. The funeral director, whom we had met with twice before, was going around greeting everyone. When she got to us, she asked where our mom was. Seriously? 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, we buried my mom. I walked past my sister's husband just in time to hear him mutter: "Hope the fire's nice and hot down there, you old hag." I told my sister. She wouldn't believe me and accused me of trying to start drama. FML
Today, I intentionally caused my parents to have an intensely heated argument when I asked them how and where they first met. Dad said it was at a funeral, and mom said it was at a burial. FML
Today, it was dad’s funeral and I intended to speak but I was crying so much I couldn’t finish and mom had to help me back to my seat. Unfortunately, most of our family are arseholes and I could hear someone saying, “Disgraceful, shaming his dad like that.” It was the worst day of my entire life. FML
Today, I had to call the cops to break up a fistfight at my mother's funeral. It turns out my two brothers care more about having a pissing match over their favorite football teams than they do honoring our mother's memory. FML
Today, I’m stuck in a situation. It’s my mom's wedding, but her fiancé had a heart attack and died this morning. Now I’m surrounded by crying people, having to pretend to be upset so no one gets mad at me. I couldn’t care less to be honest, the man was an arsehole who treated mom and me like shit in private. 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, during my father's funeral, I heard my mother-in-law mutter, "No loss there. Lazy cunt." FML

I was about to post something along the lines of: That'll be a very awkward Thanksgiving dinner. Then I remembered that UK doesn't celebrate it. With that being said I don't think any type of large family gatherings will be happening any time in the near future. You have my most sincerest condolences about your mother in law and about your parents.

It'll be an awkward Christmas dinner. As for you, OP, I'm sorry your parents are such insensitive buffoons.

seriously who says shit like that at a funeral?! sounds like theres something tacky here and its not the dress

That doesn't even make sense. People generally aren't buried in the clothes they die in, so even if in some alternate universe, tacky clothes were a legitimate cause of death, what people decide to dress you in after you're dead wouldn't have much influence on the matter.

I'm highly confused as to how so many people think YDI...

Why doesn't everyone know how to be respectful at funerals?

Geez, that was really tacky of your mom. And when did a tacky dress become a legitimate cause of death?

Remember kids... learning to stfu is an important virtue in life! Having a mental filter will prevent you from looking like a jackass. "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
