In the last funeral that I attended, a singer was singing very sentimental songs for the deceased's immediate family. However, she couldn't reach the high notes of ALL the songs! I tried very hard not to laugh because everyone else was crying. Yup, I was crying too, and I didn't want to cry and laugh at the same time and look like a nut bag.

I was not there, but I have a friend who is a church organist. He used to work in New Orleans, where the weather is very damp. There was a woman scared of funerals and they had convinced her to go to this distant relative's funeral. Apparently the adhesive on the eyelids (an old way of keeping the eyes closed) doesn't work too well in New Orleans because of the weather, and just as her friends and relatives had DRAGGED her up for the obligatory "viewing" of the body, the eyes POPPED open. The woman hit the floor in a dead faint.

my nannas funeral was hilarious! From little things like my brother doing a reading and not knowing what a simpl word was, so he looked at the priest like he was stupid as in ehhh give me some help man. I did the prayers of the faithful and expected every one to say the reesponse without me saying lord hear us.. i waited there forever! and my dad got up to take the gifts to the alter... he forgot the gifts and had to run back down the aisle!
