Today, was my grandmother's funeral and we had to sing. My dad is a horrible singer, and I tried my hardest not to laugh, I turned red faced and tears were falling from my eyes. My step mother held my hand and said that she was in a better place. I couldn't hold it any longer. I laughed my ass off. FML

Hi everyone, person who wrote the FML here. There seems to be some sort of confusion going on around here, I didn't laugh because my stepmother said that my grandmother was in a better place, It was just the wrong thing to burst out laughing to...not that the funeral helped at all. And thanks to those who made nice comments and stupid ones. It made my day a little bit better 8D

When I get nervous, I sometimes get uncontrollable laughter for seemingly mundane stuff too.

I'd like to think that she was watching from beyond and laughing right along with you. : )

Don't say she should have left the room... goddam people, she was at a funeral! At a funeral, you sit quietly and do nothing for an hour. Anyway, that kinda sucks. Not the saddest, but it sucks. You probably confused the shit out of people, though!

I know I was laughing because the guy was like being really religious + talking about sheep the whole time wtf? So I was trying not to laugh and it was hard because everyone was like ;( crying. Plus I wasn't really sad since I didn't even know who the person that died was; it was a relative I never met before/only saw when I was a baby.

OMG, you people need to seriously chill. First and foremost, she wasn't laughing at her dead grandmother, she was laughing at her father's horrible singing. Secondly, not all funerals have to be sad. I would rather people remember me and laugh at all the good times than do nothing but cry and lament my death. To the OP, I'm sorry for your family's loss, but don't feel too bad about laughing. I sincerely doubt you were the only person there who wanted to laugh.

Ohhh man I've done that before. It was at a wake, and it's like, because it had been SO upsetting and I had been so emotional, the smallest thing tickled me just the right way and I couldn't contain my laughter. It was horrible, and because I knew I wasn't supposed to laugh, it made me laugh even harder. I just pretended I was crying thoughhh haha.

I can't blame ya OP. When you gotta laugh it's hard not to. I went to my grandmother's funeral and me and my mother got there early, so we were sitting outside the chapel making jokes quietly and trying our damndest to not burst out laughing. Of course when the actual funeral was being set up they had my grandmother's picture and I had to excuse myself to the hallway to cry, because I wasn't going to lose control right at that moment, especially since not long after I had to speak about my grandmother as requested by all in my family. Funerals are a rough time.

Lmao, seems like everyone's too distracted by yhure spelling to read your post. 10 minutes is a freakishly long time to smile at someone's wake, kinda different from a 'burst out laughing' moment, imo. I don't think I can hold a smile for 10 minutes without stopping even if I was happy, but maybe you were mentally disturbed by your friend's death or something.
