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, 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 speaking to an old friend and I asked her how her mother was. She replied, "She passed away, you came to her funeral last month." FML

Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML

Today, I attended my mom's funeral, who was the only person who ever truly supported me. During the funeral, the cemetery representative told me he was sure the hole was dug to specification, while at the same moment the casket got caught on the ground and tipped, dropping her 6ft down. FML

Today, my mom asked me to help pick out clothes for my grandma to wear in her casket. I didn't know she'd died. 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, at the funeral home where I work, I asked my boss if it was time to "bring out the stiff". I didn't realize the guy's family was not only in the building, but within earshot as well. FML

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

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

It was reckless and completely inexcusable.

it could gave been an honest mistake, there was maybe more people who had passed away and she didn't remember all the people she met.

If it wasn't an honest mistake I think there would be a post on here from the director saying how she got her ass kicked at a funeral

Maybe that was a really bad attempt at some humor? Either way, I'm sorry OP, that must have been upsetting.

I REALLY hope it wasn't, that would be in the poorest taste I've ever heard of

Me too, but sometimes people say dumb things as jokes to "lighten the mood". When I was 8 and at my grandmother's funeral I had to carry a crystal bowl down to her casket- before I started walking the Priest/Funeral Director said if I dropped it he would kill me. It was a very bad joke.

More like deadpan humor. Anyone? *sigh* Fine, I'll go sit in the corner.

My family has a sick sense of humor too. While we were waiting for the rest of my father's family at my grandmother's funeral me and my mom made a bunch of little jokes, she wouldn't stop making me laugh, until I was crying from laughter, quiet laughter mind you because this was a funeral. But at least the preacher knew my grandmother well, and told some funny stories of his own about her. ...Of course me and my cousins made some sick joke's to ourselves when we saw someone put out gas station sushi at the "cocktail hour" post funeral.
