[QUOTE="donna723, post: 10136, member: 1883"] Linda, I am so glad that your family can find humor even in the dark times you've all been through lately. It can make all the difference. I think you would all fit right into my family too! My two cousins buried their dad with a deck of cards and several cigars tucked into his pocket and a bottle of Jack Daniels cradled in his arm! He would have LOVED it! My mother in law was cremated also ... my sister in law solved the problem of what to do with her ashes by tossing her off a cliff into the ocean in the little town where she used to live. Now she's having a wonderful time telling everyone about the time she she tossed her mother in law off a cliff! And when my cousins' sweet, funny, lovable, prankster of a husband passed away right after Thanksgiving ... he got the "Irish wake" he always wanted! He was NOT Irish, but it didn't matter! He had donated his body to a medical school and a memorial service was held about two weeks after he died, attended by over 500 relatives and friends. He had been a member of our family for over forty years and after the service they had a dinner at the church and everyone sat around for hours telling funny stories of all the jokes he had played on them, the pranks he had played, some going back forty years, and everyone left laughing. This is the man who, when their kids were little, had to run out the day before Easter to buy candy for the kids' Easter baskets because his wife was confined to bed with a difficult fourth pregnancy.

Thirty years later they still talk about the year the Easter Bunny filled their baskets with candy canes! And OMG Suz, I thought I was the only one who remembered the "Chuckles the Clown" funeral episode on Mary Tyler Moore! I remember watching it the first time and laughing till I CRIED!
