god there's so many things the breaking into song and the finding of meaning in tiny things is it possible to have a genuinely funny funeral
Yes, it is.
People sometimes want that in a funeral.
But I will say we have to remember that it's always deeply sad as well.
So very often it comes from the dying person who say, I don't want any of you crying at my funeral.
I want you to have great crack.
And families will go to great lengths to do that.
But I remind them that it's OK that the sadness is going to be there anyway.

And sometimes that even is enough of a relief for them to be able then to move into the celebratory piece.
So my background is nursing.
I was originally a nurse and I did hospice home care.
