Today my family and I went to my sister in law's father's funeral. He passed away suddenly, and there was a thread last week asking for suggestions for classic rock songs for my sis in law to play at the funeral. Well, anyway, the funeral starts out really well. When we walk in, they're playing Turn Turn Turn, then a couple more classic rock songs. While we're filing in, there is a slide show. Everything is moving and beautiful up to this point. Very laid back. Well, apparently her dad's brother is a fundie of the weirdest sort. At one point, they sang two hymns. They weren't normal hymns. The uncle's wife played the accordion and they both sang. It just sounded like a weird Communist Russian ballad for the dead. I was just creeped out. Then the second song sounded like something from a carnival ride, like a carousel or something. While this just sounds like something off beat, it was really creepy. They were smiling from start to finish. It was just...weird. Please help me relate. Have you ever just been creeped out at a funeral? Duckie
