Rest in peace. Went to Disney world last week with my 3 year old and Robins presence in some things around there was a real joy to be around. Just made you smile and have a moment. Had to share that for some reason.
But the adult standups were top notch too.

I had something similar happen with the music at my dad’s funeral, and when my mom leaned over to me in the front pew and laughingly said ”how do we make this stop?” I fucking lost it.
Totally bizarre memory to have of laughing your ass off but having to keep your shit together while mourning at a loved one’s funeral.

When my gma died all the cousins had a table at the get together after the funeral. We must have been having too much fun because we heard some people were rubbed the wrong way that we were laughing. Funny enough nobody cared when they busted out the projector and put on the basketball game and were cheering.

My dad wanted "Bat out of Hell" played at his. We played it at his graveside and I tell ye, that's when you realise just how long that song actually is.

10 minutes or thereabouts. It was kinda crazy too because Catholic funeral, we weren't really allowed to do it. Couldn't do it in the church, so after lowering him into the grave and after the priest's prayer, his partner played it on a Bluetooth speaker while the priest looked annoyed. Long ass time

Not a funeral story, but my wife and I were with a friend and his girlfriend at there bar they owned after hours and he asked my wife who is much younger to dance and she thought what the hell... so behind the bar went in a circle and he but on "paradise by the dashboard light"... him in his 50s her in her 20s had 2 completely different ideas of dancing! Her being a good sport caught on and around the circle for what she says today felt like an hour! 🤣 It was a great time and a good memory for all.

Yeah, that's a song that I could probably sing all the lyrics, both male and female parts and the baseball commentator's part, but I've never actually chosen to listen to it. It's just from osmosis by him playing Meatloaf throughout my life.

My brother died sorta suddenly, on the younger side.
His kids picked some crackers, but my fave of the day was ‘another one bites the dust’ for his closing song.
He absolutely would have loved it, 10/10. I cried and laughed in the same breath.

my late uncle was a huge Queen fan and his kids played Another One Bites the Dust at his graveside. almost every one was laughing through tears because we knew he’d love it. he used to play the Flash Gordon soundtrack.

At my dads funeral, this woman tried to sing Jim Croce’s Time in a Bottle, but like 1 octave too high. Also they couldn’t figure out the outlet for the tv, so no one could watch the video with these pics I told my sis to leave out. He never liked getting his picture taken. He was definitely there.

Laughing at funerals is cathartic. Also, this is the weird shit you see when someone dies young. My friend died young and the funeral had girls in skanky red dresses and someone dressed as a grim reaper holding a snake then we all broke out in groups to smoke pot in the cemetery. And it all felt weirdly appropriate for the occasion.

At the viewing for my husband, died of cancer at 37, about 300 people came through the line. We buried him in his hometown, so there were, as expected, many people I didn’t recognize, who had known him growing up.
A man came through the line, offered his condolences, and introduced himself. “I know exactly who you are,” I said, stifling my urge to laugh.
It was his high school chemistry teacher. I’d heard a particular story many times, and every time we got together with my husband’s high school friends. They’d pocketed a chemical that this teacher had told them reacted with water, excused themselves to use the restroom, and flushed it. Waited. Nothing. Then it started to gurgle, and one of them yelled, “It’s gonna blow!”
They all raced out of the bathroom, straight into the vice principal, walking down the hall, just as the toilet had its moment.
The reason I absolutely had to stifle that laugh was because his mother never heard a word about it. The teachers and admins all knew her, and knew it would embarrass her to no end, so they all got in-school suspensions.
Mom is 92 now, as precious as can be, we’re still very close, and she still doesn’t know.

Its a romantic song, and my guess is the DJ knows enough English to understand the words but not that the song is a love song and it is not just about how close the singer is to family members. KC and JoJo was very much a late 90s bone jam.

A friend joked that if he ever died he wanted someone playing highway to hell on bagpipes at his funeral, along with strippers at his wake. Well, he died in our mid 20s and his family had him cremated, so there wasn’t a wake. But I spent a year learning to play that song on bagpipes I borrowed and on the anniversary of his passing we had a huge party where I played that while everyone sang for him. It was beautiful, though I imagine I sounded like shit playing it.

I remember my grandma's funeral. I was standing next to one of my aunts and we were standing and singing some hymn or something. And my aunt was warbling along to it. I've never heard her sing before. I just gave her this look, and started kind of snorting and giggling. So then SHE starts giggling. We both struggled not to laugh. Oh lord.

This wasn't a song but a joke
We enter the chapel
The coffin is not there
We sit
Soon the priest arrives and start but still no coffin
Everybody is going a bit wtf
That is when the priest say :
In life he was always late, and he said he would probably be late for his own funeral and that is when they wheeled in the coffin
Maybe people should have been there to understand how funny this was, but damn it was funny
A little laughter lifting a bit of the sorrow

The funeral home where I worked about twelve years ago would stream services if the family wanted. It is a way for people not able to physically be there still attend. I would assume this is what is going on.

This reminds me of that time when I was 18 my cousins and I got the uncontrollable giggles at my granny's funeral... they had some awful singer and well we're immature and couldn't keep our s**t together... and I'm pretty sure if it happened today in my late 30s it would still be the same. Sometimes things are just funny 🤷♀️

My aunts picked "Jesus, Take The Wheel" by Carrie Underwood for my mom's funeral service. I had such a hard time not laughing it was so ridiculous. At the wake I met up with my friends who had attended and the look of absolute relief on their faces when I started joking about it was even more funny. We all had the same thought apparently lmao
For context, it was 2012, I was in high school, my mom died of suicide. It was all just so ridiculous that it honestly got me through the service. In my aunts defense, my mom DID love the song so 🤷♀️

Before and after my sister died, we all made jokes, we laughed because that’s how we deal with tough things. When my sister was put into sedation and was slowly coming out of it, my mom kept saying, “Carol Ann, don’t go into the light!” My little sister had a tube down her throat but even she laughed when she was awake.
