Funerals and Miscellaneous: What's on your mind?

What's on your mind?

Today, at my mother's open-casket funeral, my sister-in-law went to pay her respects. As she stood in front of the body, she coughed, muttering "Bitch" in the process. Either nobody else noticed or nobody cared, and she went on her way, noticeably not choked up at all. FML

Today, I attended the funeral of a close friend. Most of the other guests were openly grinning and joking around, and the guy in front of me kept muttering, "That's what she said!" during the eulogy. 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, I got a horrible case of the hiccups while at my friend's mother's funeral, resulting in me squeaking loudly every five seconds during the eulogy. My friend glared daggers at me until I left the room, then later accused me of being an insensitive bitch for "trying to ruin the funeral." 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, 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 family attended the funeral of an old family friend's baby, who died in childbirth. Afterwards, my husband went around snickering and quietly telling dead baby jokes to the other attendees. FML

Today, I'm at my mother-in-law's funeral, who died of Covid-19. Months before catching the virus, she would claim that, "the entire Covid thang is bullshit" and "people are just behaving like f****ts over a simple flu." FML

Today, I visited with my cousin on her deathbed. When I asked what she was doing, they replied that she was sleeping. Next thing out my mouth without thinking was, "She can sleep when she's dead." FML

Your sister-in-law is a bitch. Even if she and your mother had their differences she had no right to be so disrespectful.

why is it that at funerals no one can tell the truth. the only things people ever say are good things. maybe the person was really a bitch. I feel like people should hear both the good and the bad at funerals.

Because it's extremely disrespectful to the mourners who actually loved the deceased. If the sister-in-law had such strong negative feelings toward her mother-in-law, then she shouldn't have gone to the funeral at all.

Whats funny is that this mother could have been a huge bitch to the sister-in-law and made her life miserable. Why is it that when somebody dies, it's like what they did in life never mattered? I feel sorry for the OP for losing their mother, but seriously, how is this an FML?

Your sister in law is a bitch. When my mother's, mother in law passed (my grandmother) she did cry at the funeral, she didn't have to bring me (her and my father separated) but she still did. My grandmother wasn't the nicest to her, she could be quite mean to her at times, but she had her moments and my mother remembered all those fond moments. Especially since my grandmother loved me so much. Your sister in law needs to learn some respect... (And for the record, my mom is awesome... She really went above and beyond, and even made sure I had a semi-good afternoon after by driving around and taking me shopping at random places and took me out to lunch)
